12 Simple Home Concoctions For Treating Acne Scars By Roberto Bell Looking for a cheap yet effective way of how to treat scar? Here are some things that you can concoct in the comfort of your own home:
1. Squeeze the juice out of fresh lemons or limes. Apply the juice directly on your scars using a cotton ball. Let your skin soak up the lemon juice for a while before washing it off with water. Lemon juice improves the appearance of dark scars and blemishes by lightening them.
2. Mix sandalwood with a few drops of rosewater to make a paste. The sandalwood and rosewater paste can be used as a facial mask and can be directly applied on the scarred area. Leave the paste on for more than an hour. Wear it overnight if you can. Wash off completely with water. This is an effective method of how to treat scar because of sandalwood’s soothing and cooling effect on the skin.
