Brilio.net - Acne scars are formed due to inflammation or damage to the skin due to acne. Black marks are caused by excessive melanin production and the buildup of scar tissue on facial skin. Although acne scars are generally not medically dangerous, they can affect a person's appearance.
Therefore, treatment to remove acne scars must be done to get healthy and flawless skin appearance. Currently, there are many ways to treat acne and scars at once, for example with skincare products containing active ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C serum, or even having treatments at a beauty clinic.
Apart from that, you can also complement it with treatments to treat acne scars with natural ingredients such as using lemon juice. Lemon is a fruit that is often used as a natural ingredient to treat acne scars. Yes, lemon can help reduce the appearance of acne scars on the face because it contains vitamin C and alpha hydroxy acids (AHA).
Reporting from Healthline (12/3) vitamin C has antioxidant properties that can help brighten the skin and stimulate collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of acne scars and improve skin texture. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), such as the citric acid found in lemons, can also help exfoliate the top layer of dead skin, help regenerate new skin cells, and reduce the appearance of acne scars.
However, keep in mind that lemon has strong acidic properties and can cause irritation in people with sensitive skin. Before using it directly on facial skin, it is recommended to do a sensitivity test first by rubbing a small amount of lemon juice on a small area of skin and then seeing if there is a negative reaction such as redness or irritation .
Instead of lemon which has a strong acid, you can try using vegetables which are also rich in vitamin C. You can use vegetables such as tomatoes to treat acne scars.
Benefits and contents of tomatoes for facial care.Reporting from Healthline (12/3) tomatoes contain vitamins C and A, as well as salicylic acid which can help reduce inflammation or redness on facial skin, as well as help the regeneration process of skin cells. The salicylic acid content in tomatoes can help exfoliate the top layer of dead skin, help disguise acne scars and improve skin texture to make it more even.
