Natural Oils For Healing Acne Scars

There are many commercial products and procedures used by dermatologists to lessen or eliminate acne scars. However, some of these “cures” can do more harm than good, which is why many people prefer to seek out naturally occurring products from nature. Tea tree oil is a natural astringent that has been used for centuries to kill bacteria by the Aboriginal people of Australia. Some say it works best when it is applied directly to the acne scars. Others say mixing it with the juice of the aloe vera plant is another way to get good results.

We have all heard of frankincense as one of the gifts the three wise men. Well, it also is used to in some parts of the world to promote acne scar healing from within. This oil is used to break down the old dead scar tissue to allow the body to replace it with new tissue growth. Lavender oil, which is known primarily for its aromatherapy benefits is also said to break down damage tissue, if applied to the scars.

One oil that is not as well known as the previously mentioned oils is Helichrysum oil. This oil is first mixed with a “carrier oil” which is an oil that has no properties of its own, before applying to the skin. Natural healers say this is the most effective treatment for acne scars available. However it is also the most expensive because it is so rare.

The most effective and powerful oil for combating the discoloration and also texture of acne scars is Rosehip oil. Called "Rosa Mosqueta" in South America where this wild rose grows, the buds contain such high quantities of vitamin C and antioxidants that it is world renowned for curing acne scars, if you can find a product that contains it.

One thing to remember about all of these natural ingredients is that they will not work during an active outbreak of acne. No acne scar treatment will work effectively while your acne is not under control. So the rule of thumb to remember is to control the acne, then work on healing the scars.
