Frankly folks, this might sound a bit bookish, but it’s the best advice I’ve got for you. Believe it when I say that not all pimples have to turn into troublesome acne scars. Just take regular care of your skin to keep it clean and beautiful without needing to remedy it. And quite frankly, you deserve it. So, after you’ve successfully gotten rid of those acne scars you have right now, (which I’m sure you will), just promise me to take care of your skin regularly.
Here go the natural ways of how to get rid of acne scars:
2. Heavenly honey

Honey is one of the best natural moisturizers that not only treats acne, but acne scars as well. It is always better to use raw honey (if you can get it) rather than processed honey. Once you have the goodness, massage it gently all over the affected area and leave it there overnight. When you wash it off in the morning, fresh, glowing skin will be waiting to say hello to you.
Tip: If you’ve got more time (and patience), you can make a mixture of 2 tablespoons of honey and some oatmeal or just add some cinnamon powder to it for wonderful results.

3. The power of aloe vera
A great source of vitamins, aloe vera gel can help fade your scars remarkably. When you’re shopping for that gel, I suggest you go for the fresh, organic one rather than the one from drug stores. It is very gentle and soft so there’s no way it will cause any further irritation or harm to your skin. So, all you need to do is massage the gel over your scars slowly and softly, and then let it sink in. After thirty minutes, wash your face with mild water and see the instant results for yourself.
4. When life gives you lemon (as in the acne scars) USE LEMON!
Lemon juice can make your acne scars fade away with its alpha-hydroxyl acid properties such as natural bleach, collagen rebuilding, and organic revitalization. It can moisturize and lighten all your dark scars and swollen pimples in no time. Just get some lovely fresh lemons, squeeze out the healthy juice, and dab it on your face will cotton balls. Let it soak in until it dries out completely. Let it stay there for a while before you wash it off with cool water, and voila! Your skin is as fabulous as can be.
5. Keep it cool with cucumber

An integral part of most facial treatments, cucumber is a super hydrating, vitamin-filled treasure for your skin. It contains magnesium, vitamins, and cooling properties. You can use this brilliant and easy salad vegetable to heal your scars in the most relaxing manner possible. Just get a fresh cucumber and slice it, get in your warm and comfy bed, and take a beauty nap with the cucumber slices lying on the scarred area. Just thirty blissful minutes of revitalization, and when you rinse your face, your skin will shine soothingly with the much-needed pampering it just got.
6. Timeless olive oil
One of the most skin-friendly oils out there, olive oil is the perfect way to remove acne scars. It contains a rich composition of all the vitamins that your skin needs to heal from the scars. The wonderful (and obviously yummy) stock of Vitamins A, D, C, E, B1, and B2 replenish the glow of your scarred skin and the anti-inflammatory nature of olive oil prevents any possible irritation as well. Just massage your face generously and deeply with the oil until it is absorbed, then clear your pores with some hot steam, and see how well it pampers your lovely skin.
7. The exfoliating effect of baking soda
One of the most readily available and popular remedy for acne scars, the bicarbonate crystals of baking soda can exfoliate your troubles away. The most effective way of using this ingredient is using it as a generous scrub. So, all you need to do is make a paste out of baking soda and water and massage it gently and patiently all over your face for two minutes at least. Once you wash it off with lukewarm water and restore your skin’s hydration with a nice moisturizer (like olive oil), you’ll get a fabulously glowing face, free of dead skin and acne scars.
