- There are some items you can rub on the scars that are sometimes successful in minimizing them. For example, consistently rubbing ice cubes on areas that have acne scars can help tighten the skin around the scars. The pores subsequently will also tighten and the appearance of scars will decrease.
Some choose to place cucumber juice on scars as well. This juice is also believed to tighten the pores and make the skin on the face look fresher and less worn.
Aloe Vera cream and Vitamin E can both reduce the effects of acne scarring if used regularly.
Another treatment requires you to squeeze the juice from a lemon onto a cotton ball. Dab your face with the cotton ball and leave the juice on your face for about 20 minutes. Then wash your face. Doing this 4 times a week can decrease scarring on the face. - Make a paste of apple and honey by processing a cut-up apple (seeds and core removed) in a blender until it is smooth. Then add ½ tsp. honey. Apply the paste to the scarred area for 15 minutes, then wash with water. This treatment may lighten the complexion and make pores tighter.
Sandalwood paste can be purchased and mixed with water. The mixture should be left on all night and washed off in the morning. If you do this consistently, the effects of acne scarring will slowly begin to decrease. For a stronger mixture, add a couple of squirts of lime juice. Apply this mixture to the face at least two nights a week.
Scarring from acne will not disappear overnight, but if you are consistent in applying the treatments, you may begin to see results within a couple of weeks.
