How to Fade Acne Scars Naturally

Acne. Ugh.

They say to never pop your pimples, but do you really listen to that rule? I, for one, am guilty as ever when it comes to zit popping!

Popping a pimple pushes bacteria from the zit further into the skin, making the area around the acne even more reddened and inflamed. Sometimes, popping a pimple will even cause a brown or red mark to form that could last months. Scars, in the form of dents and pits, can last forever!

Unfortunately, a scar is a scar and there is not a whole lot that you can do about it. But, you can speed up the fading of a scar using nature’s best ingredients!

Here is a little DIY facial mask that you can apply once or twice per week to fade your acne scars once and for good. While you are at it-stop popping!

DIY Acne Fading Facial Mask

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup raw honey
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 5 drops of fresh lemon juice (not the fake lemon bottle kind)

Directions

1. Mix ingredients together in a small bowl until well blended.
2. Apply topically to the acne scars as a spot treatment only or you may apply it to your whole face as a mask.
3. Let sit for 30 minutes then wash away with warm water.
4. Use once or twice weekly.

**Note** The mask may tingle or burn a bit-this is due to the lemon juice. If it bothers you, then omit the lemon juice completely.
