I'm 15 years old (turning 16 in about 2 months time) and I developed an acne problem 2 years ago.
I do eat a lot of chocolates, but I've also been going through alot of personal problems (my mom just passed away), and I beleive that stress and hormonal imbalance has got to do quite a lot with acne.
Well, I just passed the first year bursting my pimples(which has left quite a few scars) and in the second year I started using regular facewashes (Neutrogena,being no.1 on my list).
Now my main problem is that I have several scars on my cheeks and forehead and I have no idea what to do. I do drink lots of water and have a pretty normal diet.
Someone suggested ProActive 3 step formula, and I just started using it.This is my 4th week. But I've heard it doesnt make a difference to the scarring.
As far as the actual breakouts go, I develop a new pimple about one every 3 weeks (not very severe) and the condition becomes a little worse during my period.
But my main problem is the scarring and redness.
Im confused whether I should continue using proactive or not (keeping in mind its just been 4 weeks).Plus my breakouts are not very severe, and fluctuate with my period.
So if there are other products or any natural way or diet changes that would reduce scarring and eliminate breakouts, it would be appreciated. -
So without further ado, here are my favorite natural acne scar solutions:
Vitamin E
Don’t underestimate the power of this healing lotion. You can get it at any drugstore in topical form. I have a HUGE bottle of it under my sink . Vitamin E naturally heals scars by moisterizing the damaged skin. Use it everyday to fade away acne scars.
Cocoa Butter
This one should be used carefully. If your acne is not already under control, cocoa butter does pose the threat of additional breakouts. However, if you’re using the 3 Day Cure technique & your skin is finally clear, this is a powerful healing tool. Cocoa Butter will soften skin, lighten the scars & make them fade into nothing. I love this one. By the way, Cocoa Butter also works great on fading stretch marks.
Honey
Okay, this is totally gonna change your life! Honey works overtime on acne & acne scars. Yes, Honey! When I first learned about this natural remedy, I was pretty bewildered. The sound of it alone is confusing. Honey is a sticky, sugary substance. How can it possibly clear up skin?
Honey kills bacteria while simultaneously lessens the red look of irritated skin. The acidity in the honey evens out your skin tone, shrinks current pimples & will give your skin a softer feel. Listen, I know you may be skeptical of this solution. I was at first, then I tried it. This natural acne scar remedy works great.
Lemon
Lemon will help clear up acne as well as fade acne scars. Plus your face will smell like a freshly shined harwood floor, so that’s a plus
The acidity in the juice will lighten the redness of the scars & balance your skin’s pH levels to prevent future breakouts. Give it a shot.
