Introduction
Acne is one of the most common types of skin related medical conditions. It occurs when the production of sebum in the sebaceous glands becomes increased way too much and leads to eruption, inflammatory conditions and the formation of comedones, pustules, papules and pimples. Acne usually occurs during the teenage years of a person but it may also occur in adult persons as well. The causes of acne usually include unhealthy living habits, irregular living habits, psychological disturbances and stress. Picking or squeezing the acne may sometimes be associated with the formation of scars on the facial skin. Acne itself is not that much severe, but in some cases it may have a very big impact on the psychological aspects of the life of the sufferer.
A large number of people who suffer from acne think that their medical condition is rather embarrassing. Acne sometimes induces lack of confidence, reduced self esteem and in some cases even depression. Acne scars are commonly treated with laser therapy, acne removal creams and chemical peels. These treatments may not always work for everyone, though, so one should check out one of many natural remedies for the removal of acne scars.
Home Remedies
The best natural treatment for acne is proper hydration, so one should consume at least 64 ounces of water per day, on a regular daily basis. Water is excellent in removing acne scars and improving the functioning of the circulatory system. A healthy and well balanced diet is also very important in the healing process. It is highly recommended to consume plenty of fibrous foods, whole grains, vegetables and fruits, because proper nutrition is one of the most important factors in the removal and healing of acne scars. Lime juice and lemon juice are among the most potent natural remedies when it comes to getting rid of acne scars. Lime juice should be taken orally, while the lemon juice needs to be applied topically on the affected areas of the skin.
Vitamin E is excellent for the health of the skin so it may also come in very handy when it comes to healing the acne scars. It can be taken in the form of capsules which can be taken orally or applied topically on the affected areas of the skin. Olive oil, tea tree oil, rosehip seed oil, lavender oil and chamomile oil can also be of great help. Natural face packs and aloe vera are also certain types of natural remedies which are worth checking out.
