Scars natural home remedies 

Scars are not always easy to get rid of. Much of the success in trying to get rid of scars depends on their age, size and severity. It is easier to target lightening them.


One of the best methods to do this is to rub the whey of yogurt on a scar and leave it till it dries. Wash off with plain water. Baking soda will also help to lighten the scar, as will cucumber juice.


You can also apply lemon or lime juice, but remember to wash it off in 10 minutes and never forget to wear sun-screen over the area where you have used it.

Make a poultice of one crushed onion and one crushed potato and apply this to your scar. This should help to lighten it. Aloe Vera gel is a highly effective remedy used to help remove scars. If you can find it fresh, it will work better. Make a thick paste of sandalwood and rose water and apply this to your scars every day for at least six months. This will help considerably. You can also try to use silicone, which is available in gel or sheet form, and is a proven remedy to help lighten scars. Applying honey on the scar at least thrice daily will also help considerably.
