Olive oil for acne scars

by Bobby

Massage olive oil on the scarred skin. Olive oil has a moisturizing quality that softens the skin's texture and reduces visibility of acne scars.
For best results after exfoliating your skin with baking soda, massage a pea-sized amount of olive oil onto your face.
This will not work for deeper acne scars, but it is effective for mild acne scars, that just appear a little bit red.
Olive Oil contains polyphenol compounds that act as antioxidants to help prevent and repair damage to the skin done by accidental sun exposure. The skin damage is related to the destructive activity of free oxygen related radicals produced by skin cells. Polyphenolic components of olive oil have been compared to traditional antioxidants, such as tocopherols, used by the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry to prevent skin damage.
