Do any of you gals know any home remedies for acne scars and dark spots (I'm not sure if there the same lol) please help!
My skin is clear but it my face seems so messed up because of the scaring and dark spots that I have :c

Lemon juice can be used but be SURE to use it sparingly and paired with something very hydrating like aloe vera gel. Just lemon juice alone can damage the skin since it can be quite harsh. But lemon will help to lighten the scar very quickly.
I like to mix lemon juice with honey as a mask, three times a week, 20mins/mask. :)

Tea tree oil can help with scarring. I have noticed improvement but it can be harsh if you have sensitive skin. you can find it in any drug store.

Lemon burned my skin! I would definitely get some vitamin e oil.

I use 3 tbsp organic honey mixed with 1 tsp fresh lemon juice.

Again, honey is a must. Just lemonjuice alone isn't good for the skin. But from my experience, it lightened my acne scars in about a week.

I would just invest in a serum or cream to help lighten them. Home remedies for this type of stuff always strike me as risky because there is always potential to burn your skin. I really like Garnier's dark spot correcting treatment. I also would recommend using a gentle scrub a couple times a week because it can help turn over new skin cells. Just make sure it's gentle, nothing with walnut shells and no apricot scrubs (which have the walnut shells in them) because they are too harsh and can create small tears in the skin. I'd recommend Burt's Bees citrus facial scrub. It has a lot of natural grains and is soft and gentle. It's definitely my favorite scrub :)
