Teens and adults alike can be affected by acne. In addition, acne can lead to a far more difficult skin problem: acne scars. But before you start spending a lot of money buying expensive scar removal treatments, try some natural remedies that are gentle and effective.

Skin healing can be achieved quite easily. You need a variety of vitamins and natural antioxidants to do that. The easiest way to do that is to start eating healthy. Some foods you should include are: fruits, vegetables, nuts and a lot of water. Our body can't produce those essential vitamins and minerals, that's why it's important to add them in your diet. Zinc and Vitamins A, E and B are all essential and they all promote healthy skin. In order to boost these essential vitamins and minerals, there are some tricks you can learn to do. These are just a few suggestions:

Tip 1: Pure shea butter contains vitamin A and all natural cocoa butter has vitamin A and E. These remedies both have properties to heal acne scarring. They will in addition refresh, moisturize, flatten and soften acne scars. This will make the scarring less noticeable.

Tip 2: Knowing the right recipe is the best way to boost your vitamin a and b supply. This is how you do it:

Fresh press 2 parts of carrot and 2 parts of cabbage with 1 part of blueberries and make it a nice and smooth juice. Cool down in the fridge for a while and apply the juice to the affected areas.

Tip 3: The third really good home remedy is an infusion based on chamomile flowers:

Blend 1 tablespoon of dried chamomile flowers (or a tea bag) and two tablespoons of elderflowers. Add the herbs in a cup and pour boiling hot water. Let it sit for a bit and then strain. Cool down the infusion and apply to all the areas where you want to get rid of acne scars. To achieve acne scar removal faster, do this about 4 times a day.

Another chamomile infusion is one with lemon. Take 3 and 1/2 oz. of dried lemon balm leaves, 3/4 oz. dehydrated mint leaves and 1 oz. dried chamomile flowers. Pour some very hot water (approx. 2/3 cup) over the herbs and cover with a plate. Let it sit for about 5 minutes and then strain. Let the mixture cool down before you apply it to the areas you want to treat.
