Acne scar remedies

My skin scars very easily. Lately I've really noticed that where I have had acne is now a purple scar. Is there a way to lighten and make less noticeable without wearing makeup everyday?

Acne scar remedies 

Although there are various treatments to minimize scars, scars often do not disappear completely. There are various cosmetic creams available in the market today, but dermabrasion is considered to be the most effective treatment for scars. Since you do not have deep scars, there is a very high possibility that they may be eliminated altogether. There are also various other treatments including laser treatments, chemical peels and surgical revision. However, as you mentioned that you have a tendency to scar, make sure that you consult a dermatologist before you opt for any treatment.

Zinc can prevent acne while speeding up the healing process and so it would be advisable that you have a daily Zinc supplement. You could also use a paste made out of Sandalwood, fresh tomato pulp and a crushed garlic pod. Unlike most creams, this paste will help to reduce the scars without aggravating your acne.  
 
The only sure method of preventing acne scars is to treat acne in its early stages. Grate a potato and add a little honey to it. Use this daily as a nourishing face mask to help reduce acne. You can also add a little mashed papaya as it contains Vitamin A which effectively controls the overproduction of sebum (which is the main cause of acne).
