My Acne Remedies

Here's a concoction you can use to help with your acne scars. Mix together a tablespoon of yogurt, a tablespoon of oatmeal, and a tablespoon of sour cream. Add to this mixture just a few drops of lemon juice. Apply this mixture to any scarred areas. Leave on for several minutes before washing off. You can do this every day and with time your scars will improve.

Each night before you go to bed take an entire ice cube and rub it on all affected areas until it melts. This reduces the swelling and inflammation that comes along with acne, and prepares these spots for your upcoming rest, which is when the body does most of its repair work. Also, because you are reducing the amount of stress that this swelling and possible rupturing would place on your skin, you reduce your risk of scarring. Add this to your acne treatment regimen and you won't be sorry.
