Soften the Scarred Skin

• When the skin is softened, it makes it easier for scarred, discolored skin to be removed. One way to soften skin is to give the skin an oil facial. Spread 1 to 2 tsp. of olive oil onto the skin and rub it in with your fingertips. Spread a steaming wet towel over your face, which will loosen and soften the skin. Once the towel cools down, dip it into hot water again and wring it out. Squeeze the towel out and drape it over your face for a second time. Once it cools again, wipe off the oil with the towel. Oil can be used to soften scarred skin once per day.
  
  

Buff Off the Scarred Skin

• Once the skin has been softened, the scarred skin cells can be buffed off and removed much easier. Use a natural and mild abrasive, such as baking soda, which will remove the dead skin without harming the skin. Pour 1 tbsp. of baking soda into your hand and mix it with a drizzle of water until a paste is formed. Massage the paste onto the skin for two minutes, focusing on the areas of the most scarring. Let the baking soda remain on the skin for an additional three minutes. Rinse off the paste using warm to cool water. A baking soda paste can be used to eliminate acne scars once per week.
  
  

Rebuild Skin Cells

• Once the dead, scarred skin cells have been removed, it is important to rebuild skin cells to take their place. One way to do this is to apply a substance that has a high concentration of Vitamin C, which boosts the skin's natural ability to build new skin cells. Lemon juice or lime juice concentrate contains extremely high levels of Vitamin C and can be used undiluted on the skin. Soak a cotton pad in the lemon juice and spread it liberally over the skin. Allow the lemon juice to dry, repeat the process, letting the juice dry on the skin again. Use lemon juice on the skin up to three times per day to lessen acne scarring.
