Very often pimples on the face dry up and fade away but they leave behind scars. These red scars on face are unsightly reminders of the pimples and can detract from the beauty of a face. You can try various simple home remedies to get rid of red scars on face. You can use sandalwood powder and black gram lentils. Sandalwood powder can be used while the black gram can be ground up into a paste. A mix of these two can be applied on the face at bedtime. Applied regularly and left on overnight, these will work wonders.

Sandalwood powder, when mixed with rose water is another effective way to get rid of the scars. For best results this should be left on over night and washed off the next morning with cold water. Another variation of this remedy is to use milk to make a paste instead of rose water. This paste should also be left on overnight and then washed off. Rubbing ice cubes on the face is believed to help tighten the pores and get rid of the scars on the face. Cucumber juice works much the same way and can be extracted from grated cucumber and applied on the face. A ripe tomato also work wonders on the scars. You can chop a tomato in half and simply apply the pulp on your face. Left on your face for half an hour before being washed off, this remedy will help tighten your skin. Aloe Vera Juice is very effective in getting rid of scars and can be left on overnight. Vitamin E oil is another very effective cure for scars. A mixture of one tablespoon of Aloe Vera juice and the contents of a vitamin E capsule can be applied on the scars for a very effective remedy to lighten scars. This can be left on overnight and washed off in the morning. Tea Tree oil is also effective in helping lighten scars. You can also steep some green tea and then use the liquid on your scars. You can use a cotton ball to apply this on the scars. You can also make a mixture of three tablespoons of oatmeal, one tablespoon of sour cream and one tablespoon of yogurt, add a few drops of honey to this and then apply on the face. This needs to be left on for half an hour before it is washed off. Two tablespoons of chick pea flour mixed with some drops of milk is also an effective remedy to the scars.
