Acne scars, getting my pale skin back, dark circles?
Acne Scars: For 3-4 years now I've been battling acne, it's practically all gone now but then you have the scars. They range from light tan ones to ones that are almost black. Home remedies please (:
Pale Skin+Dark circles: I'm chinese and I used to have EXTREAMLY pale skin. almost white and now I have a really tanned skin colour. I know it's not a sun-tan situation, it's just my skin really has gotten darker. I'm thinking it has something to do with the whole acne and scars on my face, maybe the skincare products I'm using?* Then again, for these last few years I've also had really bad sleeping habits, I'm starting to fix that but for a general idea I used to sleep at about 3 am everyday and wake up by 7am. Which is why I also have really bad dark circles ( Are they really caused by lack of sleep?), home remedies or drugstore eyecream suggestions <3
*Currently using regularly: The Body Shop Tea tree facial wash, day moisturizer, night lotion and aloe toner. St.Ives apricot scrub for blemish and blackheads and peel off hydroxy masque. Clean and clear advantage blackhead clearing mask, panoxyl antibacterial acne gel ( 5% benzoyl peroxide, alcohol base for oily skin) and L'oreal age prefect pro calcium for eyes and lips. No make-up.
Occasionally: Clean and clear morning burst shine control scrub, Biore moonlighting night moisturizer and Bio-oil.
I'm drinking about 7-10 cups of water everyday but as for eating well, my mom tends to stick with the same stuff, no variety =.= So I don't really quite get all the nutients I need, but I'm trying to convince her to get me vitamins (Suggestions?)

1) Rub lemon juice on the scar/marks. This will lighten the color. Apply the juice and leave it on for about 10 minutes. Wash off your face and then apply a sun block lotion.
2) Make a paste of sandalwood powder, black gram powder and rose water. Apply it on the area and I possible leave it overnight. Wash it with cold water the next morning. If you find that it makes you skin too dry then add some milk into it.
If these tips did not work for you, do not lose heart you can still try some other tips. Good Luck
