Garlic for Acne Scars

It's true! Garlic for acne scars is one of the oldest acne scar remedies around. Garlic for acne scars is also incredibly easy to apply to your skin. We're not talking about using messy creams, oatmeal masks or anything like that.

How does garlic for acne scars work?

Garlic contains sulphur which is by nature, a topical antibiotic. As you apply garlic directly to your skin and gently rub the garlic around, the sulphur will kill bacteria that would normally clog your pores and create the dreaded acne. It also heals the dead underlying skin that creates the scarred appearance.

The acidity your skin encouters when you use garlic for acne scars will also lighten the reddened skin. It takes about 2 weeks to see the results in the mirror after using garlic for acne scars.

Now, the acidity in the garlic can be overwhelming for sensative skin. I mean, don't get me wrong. This natural remedy totally works - but if you do experience burning, try applying a gentler treatment than garlic for acne scars. There are so many to choose from so don't feel limited if garlic doesn't work out for.

Don't let that scare you away though. Garlic for acne scars really works well if applied consistently.
I understand if you're a little bit skeptical about using garlic for acne scars. It's one of the more non-conservative remedies. However, I assure you, this natural scar treatment has been tested over and over again through the years.

Yours truly has applied this on more than one occasion for a few nasty scars. Of course that's not to say using garlic for acne scars was my only strategy. I used loads of natural treatments for natural acne scars. Actually, you can see all of the ones I used through a link at the bottom of this blog post.

An even easier way to apply garlic for acne scars it to crush it up and mix it with warm water. Take a cotten swab or cottonball and dab it into the crushed up garlic. You can then apply the teeny pieces of garlic almost like a paste to the skin. Leave it on your acne scars for about 5 minutes, then wash off with warm water.

Garlic for acne scars is also effective just by additional consumption of this food. Eating garlic opens up the blood vessels in your skin allowing for increased oxygen to heal scars from the inside out. Also, your overall complexion will be noticeably improved in about a month's time. Just make sure you have plenty of tic tacs on you for that garlic breath.
