This method is also beneficial for your eyes as it helps in reduction of puffy eyes and lightens up dark circles. Just fetch some Cucumber from your nearest veggie market and grate them up. Make a paste of it and gently massage it onto your skin every day. Let the paste rest on your face for a good 20 minutes and not any more than that. Wash off with cold water.
Do not forget the sunscreen
You should never keep away from sunscreen when it comes to dealing with your acne scars. The harmful rays of the sun tend to worsen the problem of scars over the time. Apply it to the exposed areas 30 minutes before you step out of the house. The factors that you should keep in mind while finding the best sunscreen for yourself is to keep in mind your skin type. Make sure your sunscreen has a good SPF to it.
Medicinal Solutions
Creams that consist of Retinol, Kojic Acid or Vitamin C as their active ingredients can be used to lighten up the acne scars. The major rule here is to always get a doctor’s recommendation before using any kind of Allopathic solutions. Apply it as frequently as mentioned in your subscription and follow the regimen regularly.
Laser Therapy
For those of you who are not very well versed with this kind of treatment here is a briefed out explanation for you. Laser is actually a non invasive treatment which passes bouts of laser light into the skin and sweeps off dead cells also building more collagen which eventually helps in scar reduction. This procedure is usually expensive and should be done under a certified expert’s supervision. You might see a fair amount of reduction in your scars after 6-8 sittings depending on your skin types.
