An Acne Scar Treatment for Everyone

Using a natural acne scar treatment can improve the look and texture of your skin. This is especially true for people with mild to moderate acne scarring.

Taking great care of your skin with nautral acne treatments should be used to avoid breakouts all together. This includes using pH balanced toners and staying away from harsh cleansers that contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Sometimes we still breakout no matter what we do. To avoid acne scarring you can use the following...

Tea Tree Oil - is one of the great natural acne treatments. Its antibacterial properties should keep it from becoming infected (which causes scarring). It may be used as an acne scar treatment by continuing to apply after the blemish fades. (It's often advised to test a patch of healthy skin first. Some people have reactions to this potent oil. Diluted concentrations are a great way to start.)

Aloe Vera - will help to reduce acne scarring after the blemish has faded.

Apple Cider Vinegar - can be blotted on an acne cyst and used afterward as a natural scar treatment.

Lemon Juice - can lighten the hyper pigmentation associated with early scars.

Exfoliation - speeds the renewal of new skin cells. This can reduce the appearance of many types of acne scars. It is important to see a dermatologist before attempting treatment, especially if you are still experiencing breakouts.

Different Exfoliates...
• Physical Exfoliates - contain material that will physically remove dead skin cells when rubbed on the skin. There are many on the market. However, a great homemade option is brown sugar mixed with a little olive oil. Olive oil is a great moisturizer that will not block pores.
• Alpha Hydroxy Acids - are often found in skin creams and lotions. These work a little deeper than the physical exfoliates.
• Beta Hydroxy Acid - also known as Salicylic Acid. This is stronger than the AHA's and should be used under the supervision of a skin care professional.

Some of these procedures include, laser re-surfacing, dermabrasion and micro dermabrasion.

Whatever your needs, there is an acne scar treatment that will help. Always remember to seek advice from a dermatologist if you have questions or concerns. The look and health of your skin should always be taken seriously and is no laughing matter. Unless of course, it looks great - and it will!
