Drink lots of water: Water has amazing cleansing and rejuvenating properties. Some experts believe that the best way to treat acne scars naturally is to drink lots of water. Dead skin cells are shed off easier when your body is hydrated with enough water. New skin also grows faster and smoother when you have lots of water in your body.
Eat fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables contain lots of vitamins and minerals that can help your skin restore its former beauty. They also contain juices which keep your body hydrated every day. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables to make your skin grow healthier and heal acne scars.
Load up on lemon juice: Lemon juice is a kind of citric acid that%26#039;s very effective in reducing or getting rid of acne scars. Drink several glasses of lemon juice each day to help your dead skin cells shed faster. New skin cells will also grow healthier and add elasticity to your skin if you load up on lemon juice.
Maintain a balanced and nutritious diet: You can%26#039;t simply get rid of acne scars by applying natural substances on your skin. A large part of the healing process consists of maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet that aids in the growth of new, healthy skin. Also, eating a healthy diet gives you the essential nutrients that you need to fight against infections and other types of diseases that might complicate your acne scars. Make sure to include tofu, chicken, soy, and fish in your diet as these foods are rich in protein which aids in the healing of your skin.
Try rosehip seed oil: Another amazing home remedy against acne scars is rosehip seed oil. The oil has anti-aging properties that reduce wrinkles, rejuvenate the skin, and bring back its original color. Rosehip seed oil is widely used in commercial cosmetic products that are used to treat burn marks, premature aging, sun damage, surgical scars, facial scars and acne scars. Purchase rosehip seed oil from a department store near you and massage it twice a day on areas of your face that have acne scars.
Apply Aloe vera gel or juice: Aloe vera gel or juice helps get rid of acne scars and makes your facial skin healthier. There are many brands of aloe vera gel or juice available on the market today. Read product reviews of each brand on the Internet to find out which one is the best. Read the instructions on the label carefully before applying on affected areas of your skin.
Treat your scars with tomato: Tomato is rich in vitamin A, making it effective in stopping the overproduction of sebum that causes acne and acne scars. Tomato also has antioxidant properties that rejuvenate damaged skin. Slice up a tomato every day and place it over your face to quickly reduce your scars.
Heal them with olive oil: Olive oil is truly a miracle substance. It does not only make your food taste better, it also improves the condition of your skin and reduces your acne scars. Massage the oil on affected parts of your skin every day. It has moisturizing properties that soften the texture of your skin and reduce the prominence of your acne scars.

Use honey: Honey is a sweet substance that brightens up your day but it can also brighten up your face. Massage honey on affected parts of your skin or take it orally to reduce your acne scars and make your skin look younger.
Lather with lavender oil: Lavender oil is another natural substance that is widely used in many commercial cosmetic products. Apply lavender oil on your acne scars and gently massage your skin. The oil has regenerative properties that will make your skin look cleaner, fresher and younger.
Rose water and sandalwood: Make a paste of rose water and sandalwood and gently apply it on your acne scars. Leave the paste on your skin overnight then wash it with cold water the next morning. Do this regularly together with other natural treatments for acne scars to get rid of the scars as quickly as possible.
Rub them with ice cubes: Lots of people use ice cubes to get rid of their acne scars at home. Wrap an ice cube in a piece of cloth and rub it on affected areas for 10 to 15 minutes every day. This should lessen the inflammation on your skin, making it look smoother.
Make your own face mask: Mix one tablespoon of sour cream with one tablespoon of oatmeal and yogurt, then add a few drops of lemon juice. Apply the mixture on your acne scars and leave it there for about 10 minutes. Thoroughly rinse it off and pat it dry.

The best way to avoid acne and acne scars is to eat a healthy diet.|||well, i have acne scars and my doctor says there is nothing you can do to get rid of those scars. The only way is to wait until your skin peels off, so it might take awhile but they will go away.
I would try maybe brushing your face with a warm wash cloth just to try to smooth out the scar and maybe take off some dead skin
It took me about a month
good luck i hope this helps|||I honestly believe that anything natural is 100x better than any of those chemically made products that people put on their faces. None of the remedies are as affective as HONEY. I used to have acne on the side like 4 years ago and I swear the first time I tried it I noticed a difference in the first 10mins...and in like a day my skin was clear. Honey is antibacterial, try it and you will be AMAZED...you will never have any more problems again,it%26#039;s great =)|||those things are epidemics they don%26#039;t work and the sad truth is you can not but you can get some cover up and that%26#039;s about all you can do sorry dude but it%26#039;s true|||Apply grated potato on your skin for 20 minutes and wash with cold water regularly to get minimise acne, pimples scars.

I saw this tv show: prozac
Renee|||try a really good concealer. it wont make it disappear but at least it will cover it up:)|||STEPS-
Stop popping! It%26#039;s tempting, but honestly, it make things worse. If you absolutely must pop, make sure that the area and your fingers are clean and disinfected. Best method of dealing with acne scars and cuts is just to let your body do the works. Keep the irritated area clean and use as little make-up on the area as possible.
Use a Scar Treatment. For post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation (brown or red marks on the skin) try something like %26quot;Zenmed%26#039;s Scar Treatment Kit%26quot;, Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Acne Mark Fading Peel. Mederma is also a good %26quot;spot%26quot; treatment. For %26quot;ice picks%26quot; or %26quot;crater-like%26quot; scars, which are actual dents in the skin, often the most effective treatment is seeing a doctor.
Moisturize and protect. Always use an oil-free moisturizer that has SPF. Try Body Guard Exquisitely Light SPF 30 For Face %26amp; Body.
Triple Antibiotic ointment If you put this on overnight, it will fade your scars and get rid of them. Don%26#039;t put too much on in one spot, it can cause your skin to get overly oily.
TIPS-
Avoid touching your face. Your hands can transfer additional oil to an infected area.
Scars tend to be more noticeable on pale skin. You can combat this with a safe self-tanner (not to be confused with tanning booths which are unhealthy for your skin). You could also buy a natural redness - countering concealer.
Neosporin is ideal for speeding up healing time thus causing lesser scarring. There is also Neosporin Scar Solution.
You can use plain yogurt to help fade scars. Apply it to your face twice daily. It will moisturize your face, purify it and your skin will heal much faster.
Apply aloe vera or vitamin E; it will speed up the healing process.
Cocoa butter is a rich moisturizer that is very effective. Try Palmer%26#039;s Scar Serum. It contains Cocoa butter, Vitamin E, Shark Liver Oil, Silicone, and Allium CEPA and is around $15 available from most chemists.
Use lemon on scars daily, but use moisturizer before going to bed as the lemon may cause dry skin.
Honey Mixed with lemon %26amp; almond oil and milk = acne free
Moisture helps scars heal, so be sure to moisturize (But be careful of heavy moisturizers that can clog pores).
Do TCA peels of 12% three weeks apart. Amazing, effective, and inexpensive.
Aloe-vera often helps. If you rub the gooey inside of an aloe-vera plant on the affected area, you will see results in a matter of days. Do it once or twice a day, and simply leave it on. Aloe-vera also helps to eradicate acne scars.
For mild scars and cuts, using Neoporin works well. Put a little on each morning and night after cleansing your face.
WARNINGS-
Picking at the scabs and scars will only make things worse.
If your acne ruptures even when you don%26#039;t touch it, you need to see a dermatologist. Bleeding or excessive acne is not natural, and may be the result of an infection or allergies. Get treatment as soon as possible.
Acne is caused by a bacterial infections - more times than not. So understand that popping zits only spreads the infection.
Excessive sun exposure without using SPF can make scars darker and more permanent.|||THIS IS MY LONG ANSWER FOR ALL OILY SKIN/ACNE PROBS...TRYING TO COVER ALL I KNOW ABOUT ACNE/SPOT PROBLEMS FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE...SO HOPEFULLY THERE%26#039;LL BE SOMETHING HERE TO HELP!!! SOME MIGHT NOT BE RELEVANT DEPENDING ON YOUR SEX BUT I HOPE SOMETHING%26#039;LL BE HERE FOR YOU!
I%26#039;m 35 and I still get spots/pimple clusters from time to time and even when they go, they leave reddish marks for ages and my skin looks blotchy.
I use clean and clear or neutrogena clear skin - both contain salicylic acid which prevents breakouts and gradually evens the skin tone out too. And crazy as it sounds - the toothpaste things works! Put on a blob at night and put a bit of tissue over it so it doesn%26#039;t make a mess. I dunno how it works but it does!
Any female with spots I%26#039;d recommend trying dianette or yasmin contraceptive pills because if it%26#039;s hormonal, that can sort out the kind of hormonal pimples you might get monthly!
Be careful what products you use in your hair if it%26#039;s long - certain conditioners have causes me to break out at times.
Also I%26#039;d recommend taking a 100% multi vitamin/mineral complex and Omega 369 oils every day because that ensures you%26#039;re getting the right nutrition and also, the omega oils improve blood flow.
It%26#039;s an %26#039;old wives tale%26#039; type rememdy - but a spoonful of cider vinegar and honey in hot water 3 times a day is meant to help EVERYTHING. It tastes nice too...kinda like honey and lemon X
Also...keep your hydration right by drinking plenty of water, avoiding caffeine and alcohol and too much salt!
Another suggestion is the scrub you can get called %26#039;resurface%26#039; or something like that - made by L%26#039;oreal. You only use it a couple of times a week (and use at night because it makes your face red!). It really works not just with the colouring but also the texture - smoothes it back out. It comes with it%26#039;s own moisturiser which I don%26#039;t use but I use the scrub at night a couple of times a week and put bio oil on which it supposed to help clear scarring and even skin tone.
Don%26#039;t use harsh scrubs and peroxide products daily like some people do; that can dry your skin and make produce MORE oil...just exaccerbating the problem.
And my final suggestion is %26#039;sheer cover%26#039; mineral foundation. You see it on infomercials a lot...tacky I know! But it really works. You can buy it on eBay too so it%26#039;s easy for you to get some to try it out. You use the tiniest amount but because it doesn%26#039;t settle into enlarged pores and it contains minerals that reflect light, it disguises any kind of %26#039;scarring%26#039; and also it stops you getting spots because it doesn%26#039;t block pores. The minerals in it reflect light a bit too which acts as a kind of concealer. It%26#039;s hard to explain but it%26#039;s fantastic. Just make sure not to use too much - and apply with a kabuki brush starting from the outside and working in so you don%26#039;t end up with an over made up nose!
I know people say make up%26#039;s a no no - but because this doesn%26#039;t block pores and has the added effect of stopping you touching your face too much, I think it%26#039;s good. You can wear it on its own too and as long as you apply it minimally, it covers but doesn%26#039;t look like you%26#039;ve got make up on.
Good luck with it hun XX
PS - if you can get them, clean %26amp; clear do these blotting paper things - in the uk I find I have to order them in from Hong Kong or somewhere cos they stopped doing them here - but they%26#039;re REALLY good.
And if your face gets really greasy, just blot with a tissue if you can%26#039;t find those. Some tissues are to fluffy so I tend to carry around a few sheets of kitchen roll for the purpose!!!
PPS - If you get your skin relatively under control, try using %26#039;21 days Fade Cream%26#039; (which I get from eBay) because it quickly clears up any scarring. I can only use it once a day though because otherwise (even though it%26#039;s a %26#039;cream-gel%26#039;) it can make my skin a bit greasy again so I tend to use that at night but only during periods that my skin%26#039;s doing %26#039;good%26#039;!
