Lemons To Help Acne Scars

Okay. So I've been doing a lot of stuff on my face lately but they're all natural (except for my cleanser. I still use Spectro Jel) and since my pigmentation hasn't gotten any better, I decided today that I'd use the ultimate power of lemons.

Yes, lemons lighten and even out your skin tone. It's also high in vitamin C so being a home-remedy-junkie, I decided to try it as my toner.

First thing I noticed was that it wass really itchy even if I diluted it with water. I was like ZOMGWTFITCHYYYY but I didn't dare scratch it because I'm scared that it would cause irritation to my already irritated acne and make my already glowing red marks, even more red. Blood red even.

I've also noticed that I can blot every 3 hours. My face is super-ew-oily. I have to blot between blocks at school (which is about an hour and a half). My face produces more oil than the Middle East. No joke.
So anyways, this is a big deal for me because I hate blotting my face because every time I blot my face, my face gets oilier the next time I blot it and so the cycle goes.

Since I've only used it twice today (one in the morning, one at night) I can't say much about it lightening my scars so I'll update you guys on that in a bit.

Vitamin E

Hey guys! Long time no see. So I've heard a lot about Vitamin E and how it lightens your hyper pigmentation (what most people call "scars" from acne).

Let me start off and say that Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin meaning that whatever your body doesn't use up is transferred to the liver. Overdosing on a fat-soluble vitamin can lead to serious health problems so intake only what it says on the bottle.

It is an anti-oxidant which protects the cells from free radical damage.

I used it topically and internally. I still swallow the pill every morning, although I have stopped using it topically because it seemed to have made my hyper pigmentation even more pigmented.

Some people say that it has helped with their acne scars but there is no full-proof studies to show that it actually helps with scars. But some people swear by it so I tried it.

Sad to say that it hasn't helped my acne scars. I stopped using it around a bit more than a week and I have better results just using my yogurt masque and cleanser.

I've started using lemon topically so i'll update you guys on that.

Laters!
