One of the worst problems with acne is that if you are not careful you can be left with scarring. Acne scarring can really affect your confidence and self-esteem and prevent you from having a full and happy life.
There are several ways in which you can get rid of acne scars, most of which require invasive surgical treatments. However, if there is a treatment that is 100% natural, has no known side effects and has been scientifically proven to successfully heal wounds and scars you’d want to know about it. Well, there is and it’s Manuka Honey.
We all know that honey is great addition to toast, cereals and drinks, but did you know that it has long been used for its ability to fight infections. However, recent scientific studies have shown that Manuka Honey is effective in treating acne scars and other wounds.
Manuka honey is produced by bees that use the nectar from the flowers that grow on the Manuka tree (Leptospermum scoparium), a native bush that grows wild in New Zealand. Manuka honey is so effective because it contains amino acids, vitamins and minerals wich help to inhibit bacteria, heal wounds and promote new tissue growth. Vitamin C is essential for the maintenance of healthy skin because of its major role in collagen formation. Manuka Honey also has the ability to create a protective barrier over newly growing tissue to protect it against infection.
Active Manuka Honey is the best type of honey to use for medicinal purposes because it contains higher levels of healing properties. Active Manuka Honey works because of its UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) which refers to the potency of the antibacterial activity of the honey. The higher the UMF factor, the more powerful and stable the antibacterial properties are. Manuka Honey with a UMF 16 is the most ideal rating for medicinal use.
In order to treat acne scars, apply the Manuka honey directly onto the scars and leave for a good while. You may think that it is just too strange to put honey on your face, but if you apply the Manuka Honey twice a day you should start seeing results within a very short time.
If you do not want to have honey on your face during the day, then what you can do is to put a generous dollop of honey onto a sterile dressing, place it over your acne scars and leave it overnight. Wash the affected area with warm water first before apply the dressing in order to prevent infections.
Now that you know that Manuka Honey has proven therapeutic properties that help to get rid of acne scars, you do not have to live with the embarrassment of these unsightly scars any longer.
