Lemon? A very often heard remedy for acne scars? It actually works if you use it in a proper way. It has citrus properties and anti oxidants which are very very essential for our skin.

Wash off your wash with cold water in the morning. This eventually helps in fading the acne scars and also makes the action faster with it’s natural bleaching properties.
Tea Tree Oil for Dry Skin
What if you have dry skin type? Go for lemon? Hmm I won’t recommend. Lemon juice is something citric which may harm you already dry and moisture less skin. So, go for tea tree oil. It heals the scars by unclogging the pores. Mix 2 drops of tea tree oil with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and heat this mixture. When its heat is skin bearable, apply over your face and neck. Give circulation massaging strokes with your finger tips and relax for 20 minutes. Wash off with clean water and wipe with a towel. Regular use of this tea tree oil not only removes the stubborn scars, it also improves the overall complexion of your skin and provides moisture.

  1. Hey Lancy, That’s a great article…Thanks!!

    I have been fighting acne for the past 4/5 months and I have combination skin, so well….when nothing else worked, a little bit of orange juice did. Everday when I extract fresh orange juice for my baby, I try to take out a few residual fibres and rub them on my skin and leave them on for a while….I don’t yet know about the scars but it has definitely helped in acne control…..
