Removing scars naturally

Removing scars naturally 

Scars are the tissues with which the body replaces the damaged tissues after an injury, acne or skin problem as a part of the natural healing process. While some scars are surface levels and are easy to treat and remove, others that are deeper tend to be more permanent in nature. Aloe Vera gel and Vitamin E oil work best at reducing scars and should be applied on the fresh wounds for best results.


Tea-tree oil and olive oil can also be rubbed on the scarred tissues to help to reduce the scars. Lavender oil can be applied on the scars using a cotton swab.

Apart from this honey can be rubbed daily on the scarred tissue to lighten the marks and also to make the skin glow.


Similarly lemon, with its natural bleaching properties can help to lighten the marks. Sandalwood powder or fuller's earth (multani mitti) mixed with rose water and a few drops of lime juice can be applied to the affected area to reduce the scars. For facial scars you can make a face pack with 1 tablespoon of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of yoghurt, 1 tablespoon of ground oatmeal and some drops of lemon juice. An excellent remedy for acne scars is application of the juice of fresh mint leaves on the affected areas and leaving it for a few minutes before washing it off. Similarly fenugreek seeds can be boiled in water and this potion can be used to rinse the affected areas to reduce the marks.
