Acne is a skin disease that is dreaded. The impact of this disease is long lasting and it can cause a lot of havoc even after it has cleared up.

This skin disorder is common to teens but in some unfortunate cases it may continue till the person is in their forties. Acne leaves deep scars and getting rid of these scars is a task. You need to treat these scars with simple home remedies.

The scars are normally dead skin cells that accumulate and this causes the skin to look unappealing. If this is the case then there are 2 simple ways to get rid of the scars. First you need to start drinking water regularly. Increase your water intake by 30 %.

This will help to flush out the toxins and dead tissues from your body. Another simple way to get rid of the dead skin cells is to exfoliate your skin regularly. Use a gentle exfoliating cream on your skin 2 to 3 times a week in order to get rid of the dead skin cells topically.

A healthy diet will compliment your water intake. Fresh fruits and vegetables have nutrients that give your skin a healthy glow. Eating foods that are high in protein and minerals also helps to keep your skin well toned and radiant. Chicken and fish are good sources of protein.

Lemon juice effectively gets rid of dead skin cells. Start drinking a glass of lemon juice daily in order to get rid of the scars caused by acne breakouts. You could also use the juice topically.

Slice a lemon and rub it on the affected area. Let the juice stay on the area overnight and wash it off in the morning with cold water. Do this for a few days and you will notice the marks disappear. If you continue this regularly you will be able to get rid of the marks permanently.

Consume a spoon of honey daily and apply it on the affected area as well. This will help to get rid of the acne scars. Massage the honey on your face for a few minutes and let it stay on your skin for 10 to 15 minutes. Wash it with warm water. Do this daily for a month and you will be free from all the acne scars.

You could also slice a tomato and rub it all over the affected area. The vitamin C in the tomato will help to reduce acne scars.
