Unless you are super, extra careful with your body since birth, it is almost impossible to not have any type of scar, which we congratulate you on!
For the rest of us, we might be dealing with many scars that could be a little annoying, but we have to accept the fact that they are a natural part of healing from an accident, an injury, or even acne that we were so unfortunate to have.
However, there isn’t a thing that can’t be healed, including those scars, whether they are old or new. With a little patience, you will be able to witness the process of the disappearance of your scarred tissue.
Those old bike accidents, painful surgeries, and our current stupid shaving experiences will not scare us anymore. Let’s work together on making them fade away!
Vaseline

It turned out that Vaseline is capable to do more things than just hydrating because according to studies, this cream can be a reliable remedy comparing to other serums and creams. You should apply three times every day for 3 weeks.
The power of hydration will help the scarred skin look less rough and dry. It can be effective on stretch marks, atrophic scars, and the ones left over acne and chicken pox.
Aloe Vera Gel

Since hundreds of decades ago, Aloe Vera was able to prove its amazing ability to heal our skin, hair, and health. The Aloe Vera gel has an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect on scared skin. However, make sure you are using the pure form of the gel.
Take one scoop out of a leaf and apply directly on the scar, massage in circular motions, allow it to rest for 30 minutes, and then wash off. You should do it twice a day.
Silicone

If you have keloids and hypertrophic scars, then you can use the silicone sheeting pads or the drying silicone gel. The silicone can increase hydration and protect your damaged skin from bacteria.
Therefore, your scarred tissues will look softer and flatter. You can use the silicone sheets two weeks after the wound heals, and apply it for at least 2 months, twice a day.
Lavender oil and sandalwood oil

The essential oils can promote collagen synthesis and carry antiseptic, astringent, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties.
However, sandalwood and lavender oil, in particular, support the healing process when used regularly. Simply, pick your favorite essential oil and massage it on the affected area. It will become less noticeable gradually!
