Almost every person on earth has a scar they would like to get rid
of. There are many reasons why a person could have scars, varying from
injuries and accidents to skin conditions such as acne and eczema.
However, many people are unaware of natural scar removal treatments.
Types Of Scars
-Keloidal scars – Elevated, dark, benign tumors that appears
on ears, back, shoulders and chest. This can be very difficult to
remove since it goes overboard the boundary of the affected area.
-Hypertrophic scars – Raised and dark scars. Disappears in a certain amount of time but causes intense itching while this is used.
- Atrophic scars – Creates indentation or sunken marks. An example of this type of scarring would be stretch marks.
Here are a five natural ways to remove or diminish the appearance of scarring:
1. Egg whites
Egg whites have powerful healing qualities that can help heal scarring
and make it less visible. Egg whites are full of proteins and amino
acids which tightens the pores to prevent new breakouts while lightening
scarred skin.
Whip 3 egg whites until they become fluffy and white. Use your
fingers to spread the egg whites on to your skin, concentrating on the
problem areas. Let the egg whites dry for a few minutes and then rinse
with warm water. Do this 2-3 times a week and before long, scars will
fade significantly.
2. Baking Soda
Baking soda will elimate dead skin and make scars less visible over
time. Baking soda is coarse, but not so much to be damaging. Apply
gently and it will act as a natural exfoliant without causing
inflammation or irritation.
Mix a teaspoon of baking soda with water to make a consistent paste.
Very gently massage the baking soda onto skin and let sit for one
minute, then rinse with warm water. Make sure to moisturize after this
treatment. A little coconut oil massaged gently in the skin is a great
alternative to moisturizer.
3. Lemon Juice
Lemons contain alpha hydroxy acids, which have healing properties for
the skin. The AHA in lemon juice removes dead skin cells, helps new
cells grow, and gives skin its elasticity back. Lemon juice is often
described as a natural bleach, so it’s not too surprising that it can
help lighten scars.
To use lemon juice to lighten scars, cleanse the scar area
thoroughly. Then, put 1 tsp. of lemon juice on a cotton ball and apply
to the scarred area. Rinse off after 8-10 minutes. Lemon juice can make
your skin photosensitive, so be sure to use proper precautions when in
the sun.
4. Honey
Honey retains moisture well. By keeping the recovering skin tissue
moist, honey aids in cells regeneration. Honey’s potent antibacterial
power makes it an excellent choice for the treatment of wounds, such as
burns, ulcers, bacterial infections, acne, and even scars that occur
after wounds heal.
Mix a teaspoon each of cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice and honey and
apply a thick coat to your face. Let sit for 15-20 minutes and rinse
well with warm water. Repeat 3-4 times a week and scars will fade before
you know it.
5. Aloe Vera Juice
Aloe Vera juice is another great option to naturally heal scars. Not
only does it soothe inflamed skin, it also boosts the immune system and
regenerates damaged tissue. Its mild acerbic qualities ensure, that with
regular usage, are prevented resulting in a softer skin, decreased
swelling and invigorating new cell growth.
While you can purchase various Aloe Vera products at your local pharmacy, the best thing to do is purchase an aloe plant.
To use the aloe from an aloe vera plant, break off a leaf and rub the
gel-like contents onto the skin. Let it dry, then leave it on for 30
minutes. Wash off with warm water. Try to do this every day to rapidly
minimize the appearance of scarring.
The key to minimizing and elimination of scars is persistence.
Serious scars may take up to several months, but with persistent and
consistent effort you will eventually see good results.
