19 DIY Home Remedies for Acne Scars Using Honey

How To Use Honey for Acne ScarsAcne is a common problem today and many of us don’t even know the reason behind its occurrence.

When dirt, dead skin cells, and other toxins clog pores, oil gets trapped beneath the skin, resulting in bacterial infections that cause acne breakouts. Hormonal imbalances, poor skincare routine, unhealthy diet, and other factors cause acne.Unfortunately, breakouts leave scars which are even harder to remove.

You don’t have to waste money on expensive creams filled with chemicals that cause unwanted side effects. There are a variety of natural, affordable and effective home remedies available to reduce the appearance of acne scars. And honey for pimple marks is the most effective ingredient used in such remedies.

Is Honey Good for Acne scars?

  • Honey contains natural antibiotics that protect against bacteria that cause acne.
  • Honey helps heal damaged skin cells.
  • Interactions between the sugar in honey and the secretions from a healing breakout trigger the production of hydrogen peroxide, which kills the bacteria that cause acne and naturally bleaches away scars.
  • Because it is naturally antiseptic, honey minimizes the severity of a breakout, so that it leaves behind less of a scar.
  • As a natural moisturizer, honey keeps skin healthy, soft, and smooth.
  • Honey soothes and helps heal, reducing inflammation that leads to more severe acne scars.
  • The anti-oxidants in honey help repair damaged skin.
  • Honey contains many vitamins and minerals skin needs to heal and remain clear.

How to Use Honey for Acne Scars:

Honey can be used alone and in combination with other natural ingredients that heal damaged skin cells and fade scars. Processed honey does not contain all the nutrients present in raw honey, so for best results, always use raw, organic honey to remove acne scars.

      It is difficult to tell the exact time as everyone’s skin and healing capacity is different. Repeat the process until you achieve the results. If you have sensitive skin, then it can be a little harsh on your skin.

      Don’t use all methods in a single day. Choose a method which you think might provide best results and try it regularly. Wait for at least a month to see the results. If you didn’t find any change in this time period then try another remedy. Apart from following the remedies, drink plenty of water to flush out toxins, exfoliate regularly to remove accumulated dead skin cells and oil and consume nutritional food to balance your hormones.

      We don’t recommend any medicine here. Yet dietary changes can be the real medicine for treating acne completely. Mostly acne are caused due to problems like gut issues, oily skin, infection in the intestines and others. Avoid junk, oily and sugary foods. Eat a healthy diet which include fresh vegetables and fruits.

      Every method mentioned in the above article is effective in lightening the scars. It is difficult to choose one of them for you as we are not aware of your skin type. The method which works for one may not work for you and vice versa. So it is better to choose any of them as per your preference and skin type. Try it regularly to lighten the acne scars. Apart from that you have to exfoliate and moisturize regularly for effective results.
