Whether you are a male or female, you can’t deny that fair and flawless skin is one of your biggest dreams. Well, let’s not exaggerate! While some people wouldn’t really care, others are ready to spend all their fortune in beauty salons and expensive skin treatments just to make their skin look younger, healthier, and perfect.
Unfortunately, these skin treatments are most of the time useless, ineffective and the results are not really satisfying. Still, this doesn’t mean that you have no hope to make your dream come true and have that soft baby skin that you have always wanted to have.
In fact, you can return to mother nature and benefit from magical, natural products that will help you have beautiful and healthy skin. It’s true that these products won’t give you instant results but applying them on your skin on a regular basis can help you see the difference. These natural products will also improve the appearance of the scarred tissue and speed its healing process.
Vaseline
We have always used vaseline for different purposes. While some people apply it to their eyelashes to make them grow stronger and thicker, others would simply apply it to their chapped lips, heels, and even super dry skin.
The interesting thing is that the cream works as magic that’s why it is widely known as the miracle cream. That’s not everything as several studies have proved that vaseline is much more effective than most of the expensive serums and creams.
Not only vaseline can keep your skin hydrated and soft, but also help in reducing the visibility of scars. For best results, try to apply vaseline three times a day for a period of 3 weeks. However, keep in mind that vaseline is found more effective in healing the following types of scars, namely:
– Acne scars, leftover chicken pox, and atrophic scars.
– Stretch marks.
Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe vera Gel has been long known and used for its wonderful cosmetic and therapeutic purposes and properties. In fact, this gel-like substance was proved to have an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect that help promote skin regeneration and heal the damaged and scarred tissue.
Luckily, pure aloe vera gel is quite affordable and all you need is to make sure that it’s pure. After that feel free to apply it directly on the affected skin and then gently massage it using circular motions. Leave the aloe vera gel for 30 minutes and then rinse with cold water.
For better results try to repeat the same process twice a day and every day until you have the desired results. Aloe vera gel is best used for :
– Cesarean scars as well as postsurgical ones.
Silicone
There are special silicone bandages such as silicone sheeting pads or even self-drying silicone gel that can be used to remove scars and more particularly hypertrophic scars and keloids. These silicone bandages can hydrate the scarred tissue and at the same time keep it safe from any harmful bacteria.
For better results, you should start using these types of bandages two weeks after your scar has healed and then keep using them twice on a daily basis for about a period of two months. These silicone-containing bandages are best used for :
– Keloids.
– Hypertrophic scars.
Essential oils
Have you ever used essential oils on your skin before? If your answer is no, then, sorry to say that you have missed quite a lot! Essential oils, especially Sandalwood and lavender oil can heal your skin and even help in reducing the visibility of scarred tissue.
They are highly effective as they carry anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, astringent, and healing properties that can promote collagen synthesis and make your skin look healthier, flawless, and young.
However, keep in mind that you won’t be able to see results only after a good period of time. Hence, make sure you apply the oils regularly and massage them into the affected area. These oils are best used for :
– All different types of scars.
Massage
Yes, you read it right! Regularly massaging the scarred tissue or the affected skin area with a good lotion for about 15 to 30 seconds on a daily basis can help improve the appearance of the skin and reduce the visibility of the scarred tissue. A nice massage will also help in breaking down the thick bands of collagen that are attached right to the underlying tissue.
So, if you have no budget for aloe vera, essential oils, and other natural products, you have no excuse when it comes to massaging the affected area! In fact, this is one of the most affordable ways to help your scarred skin heal faster.
A massage can be best used to heal :
– Keloid scars.
– Cesarean scars as well as other surgical scars.
