Your skin needs proper care and protection from dust and sun rays. Due to uncleanliness of skin you can get acne which may result in scars if not treated initially. There are many skin care products to reduce scars but do you think they are good for your skin. Most of the acne products available in the market contain strong components that may harm your skin.
Age old natural remedies for skin problems are some of the best treatments. This article will discuss 20 most effective and easy to follow natural remedies to get rid of acne scars.

4 ? Prepare a paste of sandalwood (chandan) powder with black gram (masoor) dal. It can be used on facial skin to treat the acne. Keep it overnight and wash it with cold water the next day.
5 - Tomato is also used for treating blackheads and to open the pores of the skin. Cut the tomato and rub it on the skin. Leave on for 15 minutes. Wash it off with water. This will reduce open pores and blackheads. This treatment is good particularly for oily skin.
6 - Prepare a paste of nutmeg (jaiphal) with unboiled milk and apply it on the affected area. This is an effective herbal ointment for treating skin problems. Acne will disappear without leaving a mark.

Bet you wish you knew of some of the best home remedies for pimples that I have just found out about? Well, I'm not going to be mean - I'll share them with you right now! You know how ugly acne spots can be and how your self esteem takes a nose-dive when they plague you - no need for me to tell you that.
Are your self-confidence and self-esteem at rock bottom as a result of them? Well, at least you are certainly not alone. Ugly acne spots are the curse of most teenagers and a good few adults, too.
You can help your skin considerably, by using some easy to find and prepare home remedies, along with following some common sense tips.
If we are going to deal with this problem, it is good to know what acne pimples are and how they develop in the first place, then we can look at three effective home remedies.
Acne vulgaris makes its presence uncomfortably known to you, by forming not only pimples, but also blackheads, superficial sebaceous cysts and if untreated, scars on the skin. They mostly break out anywhere on the face, temples, chest or back.
Some of the causes are over-consumption of sugar, fried foods and excessive starch. This causes, what in Chinese medicine is known by the descriptive term of 'internal dampness'. When this accumulates to excess, it erupts as pimples and other lumps and bumps.
Chronic constipation can be a major contributing factor as the digestive system becomes more clogged up, causing toxins to be re-absorbed into the bloodstream.
I'm sure you must be aware that the 'birthday suit' you have been wearing all your life is not just there to make you presentable to the outside world, but it is a valuable eliminative outlet for your body toxins. If you suffer from constipation, it is your skin that ends up being the dumping ground for body waste, hence the unsightly appearance of pimples and blackheads, when it gets overloaded.
In addition to these, are the raging hormones of teenage years which add to the clogging of oil glands.
To make a significant difference, you really need to introduce plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. With their natural fiber, they help move food through the digestive tract more efficiently and removing waste from the bowel leaving it cleaner. Reduce chomping on junk food - sweets, cakes, chocolate and other high sugar carbohydrate foods. They clog up the system and have you noticed, you want to keep eating them?
Foods rich in zinc or taking a zinc supplement has often brought about a dramatic improvement. A good indication of being deficient in zinc, is the presence of white flecks on your finger nails. Zinc is great, but it is wise to consult either your doctor or a nutritionist for advice so you don't overdose and deplete the copper in your body.
I have found that the topical use oatmeal on the affected skin is very effective. Make a paste from fine oatmeal and warm water and smooth this onto the skin, leaving for as long as possible. This alleviates the inflammation around the acne area and at the same time, helps the body to release its toxins throught the pores of the skin, allowing them to 'breathe'. Daily or weekly use of oatmeal paste can bring about a very noticeable improvement. You know, I have found this to be one of the most effective home remedies for pimples.
There are many simple as well as effective treatments you can use which are both safe and non-toxic, without having to resort to some of the more invasive chemical over-the-counter treatments.
