There's plenty of well-known ways of getting rid of scars (not solely limited to acne scars) that involve costly medical procedures, an example being chemical peels.
But I'm going to go through a few ways you can help to treat acne scars by doing things by yourself at home.
Before I start, it's important to be realistic in your expectations.
Scars are, after all, skin tissue damage and will by their nature take time to heal.
There's not going to be any miraculous overnight solution to your acne scars, but the measures you can take at home to reduce acne scarring will help you in the long run by serving to prevent future scarring.
Anyway, here are the ways you can get rid of acne scars at home: Preventative measures One of the best things you can do for the treatment of acne scars at home is undertaking a few preventative measures.
These are not only the least costly, but most effective in the long term.
The preventative measures I'm talking about are skin hydration and a balanced diet.
Skin hydration comes from taking in more water.
You should really be consuming around one and a half liters of water at a minimum (though don't go too wild here!) to make sure blood circulation to your skin is as best it can be.
Not only will this improve the ability for the skin to regenerate, therefore promoting new cell growth over the old acne scarred skin tissue, but it'll help reduce the chances of oily deposit buildup on your skin.
Secondly, there's eating a balanced diet that can be a way of getting rid of scars from home.
Too much junk food in your diet, the kind of food that has excessive amounts of fats, grease and oils, can mean bad things for your skin.
Not only will it promote new developments of acne on your face, but it's not going to help in repairing the scarred tissue either.
By eating a balanced diet, a diet that includes a variety of things like fruit, vegetable and fish, you're going to be giving the best chances for your skin to regenerate after acne scarring.
Counteractive measures These are ways of treating acne scars after the actual scarring has taken place.
While the prventative measures can be used alongside corrective measures, it is the latter that really make an impact upon scarring and are therefore a better way of getting rid of acne scars at home.
Counteractive measures to acne scarring at home include:

• Applying Vitamin E
• Applying lemon juice, which uses the light acidity to reduce the darkness of acne scars
• Home dermabrasion kits from the leading cosmetic brands
• Applying Olive Oil (or essential oils like Tea Tree Oil) to the face

There's plenty more ways you can heal acne scars at home though; too many in fact for this short little article (after all - I don't want to bore you!).
