Acne scars and stretch marks are a deformation of the skin that nobody likes. However, this is a problem that affects most women.
Most stretch marks are the product of pregnancy or weight gain, but some women simply have a higher genetic predisposition to get them. They most commonly occur on the abdomen, thighs, hips and breasts.
Acne leave different scars. Some people have them during puberty, when the skin is still young and less prone to scarring, while others have them later in life when scars are much likely to occur.
Here are some natural recipes that will help you get rid of scars and stretch marks.
Turmeric
This recipe will help you remove the scars on the skin. Mix ½ teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of yogurt (with at least 10% fat) and 4-5 drops of lemon juice. Apply the mixture to the scar. Leave it on as long as possible, but for at least 10 minutes. Repeat daily until the scar completely disappears.
Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe Vera Gel is effective in removing stretch marks and scars on the skin. Apply a certain amount of gel on the scar, and rub it in a circular motion, until it is absorbed. Repeat daily until the scar or stretch marks disappear.
Virgin olive oil
This is a remarkable remedy for removing scars and stretch marks, especially those from pregnancy. Mix 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder, and apply the mixture to the scar. Leave it as long as you can, overnight if possible. If you don’t have turmeric, apply only olive oil.
Cocoa or shea butter
Cocoa butter has been used in cosmetics as a means to combat scars and stretch marks.
Rub it in a circular motion until it is completely absorbed. Repeat this every day, and you will see the results in two weeks.
Lemon
Lemon is excellent in fighting off scars, even old ones. Cut a slice of lemon and rub it in a circular motion on the scar. Leave it overnight or as long as possible, then rinse.
