Most everybody gets a bad zit every once in a while, and cannot help themselves from picking at it until it has left a cherry red scar on their face. Even though people are always telling you to just leave the zit alone and it will fade away on it’s own, it’s very hard to just leave it sitting there on your face.

I, myself have experienced this problem many times, especially during the summer. During the summer my skin gets really oily from all the sun exposure, and I tend to break out in certain areas of my face. Again, I have sat there and picked at them for them to vanish away, but have only found that they left a nice scar on my face.

It wasn’t until recently that I found out a way to get rid of some of my scars that have been left on my face. I came across many home remedies, but only one of them has stuck out the most and I got great results from it. The answer to my problem was pure lemon juice. You can either squeeze a lemon to get some juice out of it, or you can purchase a bottle of pure lemon juice at your local grocery store.

You may be thinking, how does lemon juice get rid of acne scars? Let me tell you, I thought the same exact thing until I tried it and started noticing a difference. The first time I tried using lemon juice to remove one of the scars that was left behind on my face, I honestly didn’t think that this was going to work, especially since the scar was about a couple days old.

However, I did give the lemon juice a nice shot and figured that I had nothing to lose. Every morning and every night I dabbed a bit of lemon juice on to a cotton ball, and rubbed it into the scar that was left on my face. Although it makes your face feel a little bit sticky, it’s best that you just let it absorb on your skin for a while.

I can proudly say that after a week or so, I began to notice a difference in the scar. The scar was not very red and it definitely faded a lot after I kept up with rubbing the lemon juice on it.

I do need to say that the results work best if the scar is semi-fresh rather than it being a year old. Also, you cannot expect to see a difference in the redness and deepness of your scar unless you keep up with the lemon juice routine. As I mentioned before, use the lemon juice on a cotton ball every morning and night, and I hope that you will start to notice a difference as I did.
