Let's be honest; who doesn't want beautiful and flawless-looking skin? There are a ton of different products in the market that claim they can make your skin look radiant in no time. And while some of these may work, most of them don't really help at all. Acne, blemishes, pigmentation, wrinkles; there are a plethora of skin issues that plague us all but the most annoying one has to be keloid scars.

Keloid scars occur due to other skin problems like acne and breakouts and are often caused due to the abnormal growth of fibrous tissues. While there are options like medical and laser treatments, these options can prove to be rather expensive which is why you should try out some natural remedies first. Here are a few natural remedies that will come to your skin's rescue if you have keloid scars.

Lemon juice: Lemon juice is rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C which work as brightening agents. It works rather quickly to get rid of scars which is why it is perfect to treat keloids. Just apply some lemon juice on your scars and let it sit for about 30 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

Garlic: Garlic is known to prevent the excessive growth of fibrous tissues which are responsible for the enlargement of keloids. Crush 1-2 garlic cloves and make a smooth paste. Apply it to your skin and let it sit for about 15 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water.

Apple cider vinegar: Apart from minimising redness on your skin, apple cider vinegar also works wonders as an exfoliant. Take equal parts apple cider vinegar and water and mix the two together. Apply this concoction to your skin and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Once done, rinse it off with water.

Well, we sure hope these tips will come to your skin's aid. Stay tuned for more updates.
