Heyyy
so I've cleared all the acne that I used to have in my face but I still have some acne scars and I don't really know how to get rid of them.
can you please give me some tips to get rid of acne scars NATURALLY?

Lots of SPF! If you neglect to use it the scars will darken. I would probably recommend a good vitamin c or vitamin e serum.

Also definitely don't use lemon juice! It's way too acidic.

Not too many natural remedies aside from lemon - but if you decide to use a lemon you should treat it like an exfoliant that you wash off after having it on for a few minutes - the best way to get rid of them is to exfoliate with a chemical exfoliant (BHA or AHA - lemons have natural AHAs) and follow with a vitamin c serum - that's what has been working for me - I have photos on my profile of my progress
Also yes lemons are acidic but if you find you are sensitive to them you can dilute some fresh lemon juice with water if you are wanting to try it - just be careful not to go out in direct sunlight with lemon juice on your face or you can burn yourself - and yes SPF is a must to keep your skin protected while you heal the scars

I know this isn't natural, but I use the ole henriksen invigorating night gel a couple times per week and their truth serum daily. I bought them in a three little wonders package with a moisturizer that I really like as well. it was a pretty good deal and they also have a smaller trio for $22 if you just want to give them a try. they've really helped clear up my acne scars and prevented new ones from lasting too long.
