Why Choose Clear Skin?

Those with acne-prone skin are quite aware of how those with Clear Skin are God’s Favorites. It gets challenging to handle acne, mostly when you eat something wrong or drink something with too much sugar. Hormonal acne is a bigger headache because the new set will start popping up before you can deal with the old ones. However, instead of going for pricey cosmetics, you can make face packs for acne scars. These are perfectly safe, and effective, and you don’t need to spend all your savings on them. 

Why should you use a Face Pack for Acne Scars?

Depending upon the ingredients in your face pack, they can do a lot to reduce the visibility of acne scars on your face. When you use a face pack for acne marks, the exfoliating ingredients will lighten the spots. The anti-inflammatory agents will prevent other pop-ups, and the antioxidants will reverse the free-radical damage. They can even make your skin glow with consistent use, look more hydrated and supple.

You can even add some water to smoothen the paste. Apply on your face and leave for 15 minutes.

The most straightforward homemade face pack for acne scars is the Aloe vera face pack. You can make several face packs with this one ingredient, and all will work perfectly. Aloe vera has cooling properties that will reduce inflammation on the skin. Also, ‘aloesin’ in aloe vera will help reduce hyperpigmentation and acne marks’ darkness. Mix aloe vera gel with two drops of tea tree oil and apply directly. Or you can simply use only aloe vera as a direct mask. 

Neem face pack

Our ancestors strongly considered the Neem pack to be the best face pack for pimples and dark spots. Make a smooth paste of neem leaves using rose water and add some sandalwood powder to this paste. Apply on skin and wash. Neem has antibacterial properties, while sandalwood acts as an excellent skin-lightener.

Tulsi face pack

Tulsi helps remove all kinds of blemishes from the skin and maintains the freshness of the face. If you suffer from excess oil release, this one is great for you. Take tulsi paste and add lemon juice to it. Apply on your face and leave for 30 minutes and wash. 

Precautions while applying the face pack

Some of the precautions you have to take while using a face mask are – 

  • Always do a patch test. When you use ingredients like lemon, they might be harsh on some skin types. If something proved to be the best face pack for pimple marks for your friend, it need not be the same for you. 
  • Do not leave your face mask on for more time. It can create wrinkles, unnecessarily open pores, and also cause abnormal skin sagging.
  • Only apply face packs twice or thrice a week. Putting them on every day will not give your skin enough time to breathe and rejuvenate. 

Consult a doctor

Though face packs for acne scars help with scar lightening, it is important to seek professional help when the situation gets out of hand. Most of the time, acne’s underlying cause remains hidden, and subjecting the skin to product exposure can damage it further. 

You shouldn’t rely on Google to solve all your issues. Some skin treatments like chemical peels and microdermabrasion can reduce acne scars, but it’s ‘crucial’ that these treatments should happen after consulting a good and qualified doctor.
