Home made facial for acne and acne scars?

Question

hello. a friend of my mom's told me about a facial for acne and acne scars.

could you tell me of any...like she said something about besan (chic pea flour), lemon juice, strawberry, then put a mud masque and then steam and moisturizer...but i dunno the order or the amount of time. thanks.

the scars are mild...they aren't bad...its just from post acne marks like from 3 years ago. they are light to medium light.

she said if i put on lemon juice for 2 weeks it should work...but i dont know the order of the rest of the things....

Answer 1

There is nothing over-the-counter that will remove big acne scars except for laser abrasion, acid skin peels or surgery.

You don't say how bad the scaring is ...

Answer 2

Hi, I am so sorry to here about your situation as I am a female who has been through acne trials as well. I know how devastating it can be. I became really insecure and afraid to leave the house because of my skin, but things have gotten a lot better. One product that has worked for me is the Clean and Clear Advantage Acne control Kit. It can dry out the skin, but it should be ok, since you have oily skin. It includes a face cleaser, a spot treatment and a moisturizer. For acne scars, you could try natural lemon juice as it is a natural bleaching agent as welll as apple cider vinegar for both the acne and acne scars. You can also try a bleaching cream or gel from a company called makeup artist choice online. This has worked for me. They also have chemical peels and different weekly face masks that you can try. You can also try a sugar scrub to exfoliate your skin well. You can mix about a 1/4 cup of brewed green tea, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, about a half cup of honey and about 1/2 cup of sugar. Mix well and massage onto the face for about 2 to 5 minutes and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rinse well and pat dry. You can also mix some apple cider vinegar and green tea for a toner after you wash. Dip a cotton ball into your apple cider vinegar and green tea mixture and wipe across the affected area and leave it and wait for it to dry and then moisturize. You could also try Neutrogena pore refining cleanser and toner. Oh yeah, and diet and stress can be a big trigger. I hope that you get that under control soon and drink plenty of water.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.
Source:
A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

Answer 6

asprin mask

I do this and its great...heres the infor from the source below:

its an easy mask to make at home. Just get about 5-8 asprin, mash them all up into a powder and add a drop of honey and a teeny tiny amount of water (small drip)...stir this all together to make a paste and apply to skin.
I leave it on for 20-30 minutes.
This really helps to exfoliate, reduces redness and pore size, and helps with lightening scars.
If you go to ****** and type in asprin mask, there are tons of links that come up

Facial turmeric powder (kasthuri manual) – 1 spoon, honey – ½ spoon, few drops of olive oil, curd – ½ spoon, table salt – ¼ spoon. Mix these items to make a paste and apply on your face. More home remedies available at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html

Answer 10

The citric acid in the strawberries and lemon juice will make your acne worse. I had really bad acne and I cut out everything that had citric acid in it and my face has cleared up, it took another 5 to 6 years to clear up the scares. Anything that is fruit flavored has citric acid in it, from candy to yogurt.
