  5. I like this post. I would like to add two things, one steam cleansing and moisturizing… after all treatments I think it is a good idea to steam your face, even if its just a sink full of hot water, and moisturizing.. I find its helpful to always moisturize after the steam. And number two, banana peels are also great for scars. Just take a piece of banana peel rub it one your face where blemishes are until the banana peel turns brown, and then wash it off 30 minutes later.

    • Hi, cleansing, steaming and moisturisation are also very important. The banana peel works great if you want to get rid of acne scars.
