There are some skin issues against which we fight since teenage years until late into adulthood. Problems like acne scars, dark circles around the eyes, and hickeys are annoying enough to make people spend a lot of money on cosmetic products but oftentimes they are not serious enough for you to actually search for medical help.
Sometimes when you are testing various solutions we may end up doing more harm than well. All those chemical products that you put on your face as well as make-up used to hide skin issues can have a negative effect.
That’s why we want to teach you natural ways that will help you look and feel better.
For today’s post, we have prepared an expert roundup. We asked Minuca Elena to reach out to 41 doctors, health and beauty experts and find out their advice regarding these upsetting skin issues.
This article is divided into three sections because we addressed the experts three questions:
1. What are the best ways to get rid of acne scars (naturally and fast)?
2. What are the best ways to get rid of dark circles around the eyes using natural remedies?
3. How to get rid of a hickey fast using natural remedies or tricks?
Maybe you’ve battled hopelessly with all these skin issues for years or maybe just one of them is giving you a hard time. Either way, feel free to take from this roundup whatever fits you best. We received a variety of tips and to apply them all you need are things you can find in your kitchen or in a local store.

1. When I have patients struggling with acne, I always remind them that sunscreen is a great first line of defense for the skin. In addition to always wearing sunscreen, I tell patients to try cocoa butter.
Cocoa butter, which can often be found at your local grocery store, softens and moisturizes the skin while promoting the regrowth of damaged tissue. This, in turn, can help fade acne scars.
Coconut oil also has a wide array of benefits – from protecting hair and teeth to even reducing scarring as a result of acne. Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids that help keep skin smooth and the oil’s vitamins and proteins help repair damaged skin cells and promote growth of new, healthy cells.
2. Dark circles are a pain point for many of my patients. Unfortunately, a lot of people have them, and it’s normal. But I do have a few tricks up my sleeve to help reduce them.
First of all, I always recommend starting with a good sleep routine. Dark circles are often a result of lack of sleep, so try heading to bed a little bit earlier or practice relaxation techniques to help you fall asleep faster.
If sleep is a struggle for you, try placing raw potato over your eyes. Raw potato has natural antioxidants and nutrients that can help reduce swelling and inflammation that can cause dark circles.
