The self-consciousness attached to having acne scars which some have dubbed as 'ugly' is demoralizing and it does not matter what age you are.

Once acne scars appear you might start having the overwhelming urge to have them disappear immediately. Buying harsh lotions or ointment is not the best way to go.

The first thing you need to do is check your hygiene.

 Are your sheets, pillowcases, and towel clean? Do you take your bath regularly, at least twice a day? Then check your diet. Do you eat only carbohydrates? A lot of oil and fatty acids. ?

Plus, always use an oil control powder if your face gets oily naturally. 

Once these lifestyle questions are out of the way, we can delve into the natural remedies to get rid of acne scars.

Aloe vera is common. It is a plant that produces clear liquid gel substance.

Just scrap the gel and use it as a mask for 30 minutes.

Green tea

I know that you’re thinking that green tea is quite ridiculous for acne treatment, but it does work. It has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help in reducing acne. 

Green tea also reduces lipid levels and sebum (oil) in the skin, it is also anti-androgenic.

 Androgens are hormones that produce a lot of sebum that clogs the skin and produces a lot of oil.

This is how to use it, remove the tea bags and soak them in warm water, add some honey and aloe vera and use it at a mask for twenty to thirty minutes.
