One of the concerns of most teenagers is to have a bad skin complexion. Acne scars are not only a huge inconvenience, but also not good for the self confidence of anyone. Today, treating and clearing up skin conditions is big business, so if you are hoping to get rid of your unsightly problem, there are numerous methods that you can use.

Once you understand the various ways, then it is just a matter of picking the right one, and your acne scars will be a long forgotten memory. As usual, there are expensive medical treatments that most people cannot afford, but many of the treatments are natural remedies that are a lot cheaper.

The importance in using natural treatments for your skin conditions, is that there are none of the side effects that so often come along with prescriptions, and you can treat yourself at home without the need of a doctor. Some of the treatments may seem strange, but if they work without a big cost, then you can experiment easily to find the right one for you.

One method that will help in the removal of acne scars is an oatmeal cleaner, that is a mixture of oatmeal powder and rose water. Mix them together to form a paste that you cover your face with. Allow the mixture to remain on your scars for 15 minutes before rinsing with cold water. Do this every day, and soon the oatmeal closes up your pores, allowing the acne to disappear.

Another natural remedy that works well is honey. It is applied like the oatmeal paste, and after ten minutes, rinse the honey off with water. The honey deals with the bacteria that is known to cause the acne in the first place.

There are other lotions and gels, some natural and some not, that can be purchased at your local drug stores, or health food stores, that have been having good results in treating acne scars.

A different type of treatment for acne scars is laser resurfacing. A laser is directed to the affected skin, and it kills the bacteria that causes the acne. The process may only take a few minutes of the laser, but could take a week or more for healing of the skin.

As with anything else, not everything works for everybody, so you will need a little trial and error to find the right one. Some of the treatments are not very expensive, so try those first. If you have acne, and the scars that come with it, you know that they are not pleasant to live with, so a natural remedy could be the best thing
