   I use Grandpa’s Sulfur Soap, and it’s worked really well for me and my friends. It’s all natural, so it won’t be rough or hard on your skin. It also helps get rid of blackheads as well as regular pimples. For scars, my boyfriend used a Manuka Honey treatment. It really helped a scar he had, so it might help for your pimple scars!!

   For DIY, the most important things are to keep your face moisturized and don’t keep the scar in the sun for too long. A DIY mask recipe is take two egg whites and two tablespoons of plain yogurt (make sure it is not flavored!). Combine them together and put on your face, leaving on for a few minutes (3-5) and then rinsing off with warm water. It’s really moisturizing. I love it. Keep sunblock of some sort on your scar (actually, it’s a good idea to put it all over your face, since it helps keep your face from aging).

   Hope I helped!!

   Try Liz Earle cleanse and polish its soo good seriously, red scars on my face have started to go away after only a few days and my skin looks so much better and glowing. If you can’t get Liz Earle try some simple non-harsh face washes, harsh scrubs can cause your skin to have more spots. A small amount of Bio-Oil will help fade scars.

   With so many acne treatments available, why would anyone even be interested in finding a homemade acne treatment? Probably people are interested because so many of us are looking for ways to use more natural ingredients in our life. Our world is filled with pollutions, exhaust fumes, impure food and water and the list goes on and on. So seeking a fast homemade acne treatment, if it works, for many of us is actually a good idea. Mother Nature knows what she’s doing. Sometimes more than we realize.

   Probably the best homemade acne treatment is change of diet. Put down the greasy foods, fried foods, sugar and sweeteners, soda and fast food. Fill your plate with fresh fruit and vegetables, drink pure bottled water and begin to get some form of exercise. That is not only a perfect homemade acne treatment, but the rest of your body will love you for it also.

   Next, add a vitamin regiment to your diet. Vitamin B complex, (especially B5), selenium, zinc and so many other vitamins and minerals can greatly help your acne condition. Although a good multi should be the way to go, vitamin B5 actually metabolized the oil in your skin which is what needs to happen to get rid of your acne fast.

   Of course, the first stop in homemade acne treatment is to wash your face with a good cleansing solution at least once in the morning and one at night. If you could add washing once or twice more during the day, that would help even more. There are many good facial cleansers specifically designed for acne, but if you want to take a more natural approach then try rosewater, milk with curd, oatmeal and lemon juice.

   A couple of ideas which are a good acne home remedy are rubbing sliced cucumber on your skin before you use any of your acne products. And you feel fresh and revitalized. Also buy yourself an aloe vera plant. Not only will it beautify your home, but it is one of the best all around medicinal plants. This homemade acne treatment is very simple. It can be a fast homeade acne cream. After thoroughly cleansing your face, cut off a piece of the plants leaf and rub the substance inside the leaf on your face. Let it dry. Aloe is a miracle plant and can be used for acne, psoriasis, eczema and many other skin ailments.

   This is one of the best drugstore acne cream>>>

   Scaring sucks! And they are scars because they do not necessary go away. What I need to know is what kind of scars are they. You do different things to lesson the looks of different style of scaring.

   1)Pitting and puckering of the skin. These are not going to go away. But you can lessen the look of them by keeping your skin exfoliated (no more then 3x a week or it could make things worse) and moisturized. Any product with Retinol-A will help keep your skin not only clear but replenish the skin sells lessening the looks of scars. The over the counter stuff will not give you the same results as the stuff from the Doctor.
   2)Red and blotchy skin type scars you want to look for products that will even out skin tone. The best stuff I have ever found for this other then the stuff I get from the doctor is the Acne free system. Not only did this help with the redness but it also helped make my skin look smooth and scare free. ( but it took almost 4 weeks for people to notice so give it time)

   http://www.amazon.com/AcneFree-System-Purifying-Cleanser-Renewing/dp/B00070QF20/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1294267795&sr=8-16

   Not matter what types of scaring you have you are going to want to be kind to your skin. Over doing anything will create more acne and more scaring. When we see acne we think automatically think our skin is not clean enough and that the meds we are using are not strong enough. The hardest lesson I ever had to learn is that sometimes they are too harsh and they cause more damage and more acne. Also when ever I slack on my moisturizer ( morning and a think cream at night) my skin suffers for years I thought it was cause issues my skin was so oily. But it was oily because I didn’t moisturize.

   I love St Ives acne scrub. I use it every other day before bed, and it doesn’t dry me out. Also, Clean and Clear offers a spot kit that reduces and removes the darkness of acne scars. Sorry I don’t know what its called. Also, holding an icecube on zits can reduce the size. And toothpaste drys out the zits. Wash your face every night with a mild wash, and use the scrub every other night. Watch out for what makeups you use, this is a big contributer to clogged pores.

   If you have any questions after reading this please do not hesitate to contact me.

   If you are looking for a low cost, effective way of getting rid of acne I suggest that you try red clover acne tea. It’s actually and blend of several natural ingredients and good for a variety of inflammatory skin conditions, acne being one of them. I personally endorse this product because I use it and began using it without telling my family about it, drinking it one to two times a day.

   Shortly after beginning to use it–about 2 weeks–I was helping my mother do something on the computer. She kept looking looking at me. Finally, she just stopped and said "What did you do to you skin?" Confused, I said "Nothing. Why?" She said "It looks so much better and so healthy!" Thinking rapidly I responded "Oh, that. I started to drink this special tea to help me with my acne. I suppose it’s working!"

   I’ve now been using red clover tea for a few months and my skin is healthier than ever. The bumps on my face have gone down, my skin is smoother than ever and my skin is less oily. The bumps on my back and chest have also gone down. I still have a few but compared to before they’re nothing about which to complain. The best part is that it only costs me $15 every 6 weeks to 2 months to maintain my acne fighting routine which is significantly less than other acne fighting systems like Proactiv or Klear and my skin is not left feeling dry and tight, as is a common side effect with those systems.

   It does treat scars but only slightly. They are supposed to be releasing a mask that help to heal the skin and treat scars.

   I do continue to clean my face a few times a week with a facial cleanser and I do use a drying agent every now and again as they do have their benefits but I do not rely on them anymore.

   Red Clover Acne Tea has been the most effective acne fighting product I’ve ever tried and will continue to us it.
