Teens and adults alike can be affected by acne. In addition, acne can lead to a far more difficult skin problem: acne scars. But before you start spending a lot of money buying expensive scar removal treatments, try some natural remedies that are gentle and effective.

Skin healing can be achieved quite easily. You need a variety of vitamins and natural antioxidants to do that. To attain healthy skin you'll need to switch to a healthy diet that consists of eating a lot of fruits, vegetables, fiber, high protein and a lot of water. Our body can't produce those essential vitamins and minerals, that's why it's important to add them in your diet. Some of the essential vitamins and minerals are the following: Vitamin A, E and B and zinc. Learn some easy tips to boost vitamins and minerals. Here are some tips:

Tip 1: Two great ingredients that contain vitamin A and E are pure shea butter and cocoa butter. These natural remedies both have properties to remove acne scarring. Not just that, but they will also make the skin and scars a lot softer to make them less visible.

Tip 2: Boosting your vitamin A and B supply isn't that hard if you know the right recipe. For this one you'll need cabbage, carrots and blueberries:

Fresh press 2 parts of carrot and 2 parts of cabbage with 1 part of blueberries and make it a nice and smooth juice. Cool down in the fridge for a while and apply the juice to the affected areas.

Tip 3: The third really good home remedy is an infusion based on chamomile flowers:

Blend 1 tablespoon of dried chamomile flowers (or a tea bag) and two tablespoons of elderflowers. Add the herbs in a cup and pour boiling hot water. Let it sit for a bit and then strain. Cool down the infusion and apply to all the areas where you want to get rid of acne scars. You can do this thee to five times a day to see acne scar removal faster.

A second chamomile infusion can be done with lemon. Take three and 1/2 oz. of dried lemon balm leaves, 3/4 oz. dried mint leaves and 1 oz. dried chamomile flowers. Pour very hot water (approx. 2/3 cup) over the mix and cover. Let it sit for about 5 minutes and then strain. Let the mixture cool down before you apply it to the areas you want to treat.
