Lemon Juice For Acne Scars

RE: Lemon Juice For Acne Scars Post By Ashley (Guest Post) (09/04/2008) I have used lemons off and on for a few years just to help get rid of old acne marks/brown spots on my face. The acid in the lemon is what makes this work. I have had professional dermabrasion done several times, and although the lemon does not give you quite the same result, you will notice cleaner glowing skin. It is more like getting a low grade chemical peel than a dermabrasion, same idea applies. This will not get rid of scarring, but it will help slough off dead and old skin to reveal newer brighter skin, thus if you have scars that are slightly discolored this can help the scar to be less visible over time. It is the color that is changing, not the actual removal of the scar. I have found that, as many others have mentioned, rubbing a piece of lemon on your face is the easiest way to go. I also like to do this homemade mask that I made up a few years ago: 2 tbsp lemon juice (fresh only don;t ever use the bottles stuff) 1/4 cup dry oatmeal 1 tbsp honey 2 tbsp fresh aloe (just squeeze the "goo" right out of the leaves. Don't use bottled unless it is 100% aloe, some bottled produces contain alcohol) 1 tbsp sea salt Place everything into a food processor and add a little bit of water at a time till you get a thick but spreadable paste. I put this on for about 15 min once a week and it keeps my skin glowing... and it's cheap!

My mother tells me it is from my bangs being in my face and when it gets hot. My hair tends to get greasy. I also think its from eating too much sweets and pepper. I am Indian so pepper is very common in my family. I stopped eating it and I have been drinking a lot of water. If any one is reading this I don't suggest proactive. It doesn't really work good on my face. Maybe because I mostly have scars. I suggest lemon juice. It really does work. What I do is- take a cotton ball and pour the juice on to it. Then rub it into affected area. Leave on for 10 minutes than simply wash of don't use a cleanser to wash of just water than wipe of and do not touch it. It will get infected even more! trust me you'll have more self confidence thanks!-alexzia Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lemon Juice For Acne Scars Post By jake (Guest Post) (06/30/2008) The best and safest way to remove scars is the natural way. I had a lot of dark spots on my face and acne scars and I used a lot of creams, but none of them worked for me. We have different types of skin, what I used might help you or might not, but giving it a try will not kill you, But if I will have scars on my face again, and if I have to choose from what I've used before, honey is on the top of my list and lemon juice, first, apply a honey mask then after 20 to 30 minutes wash your face then apply lemon juice and wash it when you wake up in the morning. Do this for a month or less you'll see a big difference. It's the safest cheapest yet effective way to remove scars, and one more tip do the apple fast for every once in a while, try eating just 5 or more apples once or twice a week (just apples in a day) and lots of water to cleanse your system and dispose toxic on your body. Maybe in just two weeks you've already got rid of acne scars, and last tip avoid sweets. Why? You'll know why by searching about CANDIDA Yeast and what does it do to your body.

There are lots of wives tails out there and it's a perfectly normal thing to ask. Bio oil is great & takes months to work but it is cheap. It promotes skin re- development & encourages continual healing of the skin in places it has stopped rejuvenating & healing. Remember to never wash your face until it feels so clean as this strips your natural oils that protect the skin & no amount of chemicals can replace your own proper ph balance. Foaming cleansers & scrubs that are found in supermarkets may feel like they have done something but long term they cause your skin to sag, be more susceptible to scarring & microscopically bruise your skin. go to a cosmetic surgeon as they have non surgical creams e.t.c that work miracles. Trust me. I'm a dermatologist. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lemon Juice For Acne Scars Post By jessica (Guest Post) (04/20/2008) It works on me. It make my skin brighter (many people said that). Moreover, it do reduce the redness (as I have allot of acne scars on my face).

For facial scarring of any kind - apply a honey mask two times a day. Supposedly, this will make the face baby smooth and get rid of scarring. What I have read about honey might make sense. Honey has powerful antiobiotic qualities. It was long used on topical wounds and cuts before traditional antiobiotic creams, etc. Maybe it will work for you too. Also, I have heard that the horrendously expensive dermabrasion is not really a 100% fix for deep acne scars. Plus, I believe that dermabrasion is used most successfully on fair skinned people only. You might want to try the honey - can't get any cheaper than that! I don't know how long it will take though, but you can't really lose.

I should have had skin grafts but the doctors held off because i was so young. I used Vitamin A cream on them when i was young, now they are nearly impossible to find. :) that could be cause i was so young, but i find that it helps on other small cuts etc... daily use of a good vitamin A cream could help you.

It will exfoliate the outer layers and cause new skin to move toward the surface. Unfortunately, it won't do much for scars, can cause reactions in some individuals (especially when exposed to sunlight), and may cause uneven skin tone in dark skinned individuals. Natural vitamin E oil is supposed to help minimize scarring, but unfortunately, will do nothing for the acne pits. As the guest post pointed out, a professional dermabrasion peel is the only thing that will truly work. It is costly and there may be temporary or permanent side effects.

Face peel and/or dermabrasion, I am afraid that is the best you can hope for Report Spam or Abuse
