It's safe to say that acne scars are some of the most annoying and hard to get rid of skin ailments. If not treated properly, they can remain on the skin forever, just like a regular scar! This natural acne scar removal uses gentle and natural ingredients to gradually fade acne scars away.
Although this method may not be as quick as a laser treatment, it is significantly cheaper and much more natural, so it's a great alternative for those that prefer to use natural home remedies.
Natural Acne Scar Removal Recipe
This recipe is easy peasy and won't break the bank! What it will break though, is those persistent scars (as long as you're persistent as well of course!). Just like with exercising and eating right, this natural acne scar removal recipe must be applied on a regular basis for it to actually work.
But have a little bit of patience, and within just one month, you should notice a considerable difference. Acne scars, dark spots, and age spots, should start to fade, and within 8 weeks there should be barely noticeable!
You'll Need:
- 1 tbsp organic honey
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed organic lemon juice
- 1 tbsp fresh ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp powdered cinnamon
- 2 drops tea tree oil
Directions:
- In a small bowl, mix all ingredients together until a paste-like consistency forms.
- Apply to clean skin where scars are located or over entire face.

- Leave on for 15-20 minutes and rinse off.
- Pat dry and follow up with a moisturizer.
