Acne scars, help please?

[Anonymous]

I've read online that cinnamon can lighten scars and you can make a facemask using honey and cinnamon. I dont have honey i actually can't use it (my religion says anything that comes from a creeping or crawling thing such as an insect) cannot be brought into the house. So, i can't use honey. Can i just use cinnamon and water? Or just use plain cinnamon then let it sit and rinse? Or cinnamon and baking soda? I just put on cinnamon on my face a little and it burned some, I rinsed and i swear to god the scars looked lighter! thanks

Okay just don't keep touching your acne, wash your face and put some yogurt if you have it on your face leave it for 5 mins it will get rid of all the oil, try cinnamon it works just put egg with it instead it you can use that or use milk with cinnamon. Another remedy is use tomatoes as a paste and put it on your face it'll get rid of dirt, And last but not least use turmeric with milk wash your face with that. These remedies work and try lemon as well it stings but thats because its working, the scars will be gone in 4 days or less if you follow this

ugh i can't use milk and i can't use an egg (my mom won't let me waste food but she will let me waste cinnamon lol her logic) so if i use just plain cinnamon and tea tree would that work?

[Lexxy666]

Well yes it would with water try a liquid with it, Im pretty sure your mom would get mad at you for using a little water lol

[Asker]

thank you! im going to try Water and Cinnamon, or should i do lemon and cinnamon?

[Lexxy666]

Thats even better but its going to sting try not to touch your face as much

[Asker]

yeah it did sting but i have a rather high pain tollerence so Im just letting it sit! thank you so much!

Have you tried Mederma Advanced scar gel? I've used it and it works pretty good. I've heard that lemon juice can help, but lemons are very acidic so it might hurt. Always be gentle with your face and don't use anything too harsh. Try using a cleanser with a fruit enzyme in it. I've been using one and I've noticed that some of the old red marks I have on my face are disappearing, so that might be worth looking into. Good luck. I hope you find a remedy for your scars. They're never any fun to deal with.

I would avoid home remedies as sometimes they're bullshit I would go see your doctor and see the best advice sometimes they even give you some good home remedies.

Try tea tree oil. You can get it in gel form at a pharmacy.

I used to have acne scars and active pimples. I use soap that has vit. c, benzoyl peroxide (for active pimples; it really works) and physiogel cream to moisturize my face coz benzoyl will dry your skin trust me. After a month i see the difference. Im still using benzoyl and physiogel now for maintenance :)

Do not use lemon juice it burns your skin and will result in more problems down the rode. Get a dark spot corrector, start exfoliating properly (gently), and talk to you're dermotologist. Microdermabrasion would probably help but at home remedies dont work for stuff like this.

Well the point of the honey is it's soothing, brightening, and exfoliating. So I wouldn't reminded water. Maybe add it to some brewed green tea leaves (cut a tea bad open). Exfoliate then let sit

[itsallover]

Exfoliate (I use St. Ives) and use a lemon toner. Mix 1 part water and 1 part lemon juice. Lemon is a natural lightener.

Rub Lemon on them. The citric acid will make a burning sensation but it works. You can follow it up with Rosewater as well !!!
