Did you know: that you can remove acne scars as follows:
Take fresh lemon juice, dip a cotton ball in it, pat your face with a cotton ball and leave it to dry naturally. You can dilute lemon juice with rose tea or mountain water. Allow the surface to air dry for 1-20 minutes and operate your face with water. Repeat this procedure at least four times a week and you will see these significant changes in your skin.
