Home Remedies for Scar

found coco butter does work.. it does help it fade.. make sure to massage it because the motion helps to loosen the skin to allow fresh skin to appear

#2 - jamie - 08/18/2007 - 16:17

Another remedy

Putting toothpaste on scars works! Sounds untrue, but it really does!

#3 - Patricia - 09/15/2007 - 11:10

how does toothpaste work? maybe because of the mint in it...?

#4 - melissa - 09/19/2007 - 18:16

Remedy for Scar

apply a mixture of multani mitti and calamine lotion to acne at bedtime and wash in morning. Within 2days notice the difference. This is safe and effective for even pregnant women

#5 - vishu - 10/20/2007 - 08:02

Putting Vitamin E caplets does too! Just slit it open and let it oozwe over the scar >-(

#6 - Jessica - 12/15/2007 - 18:17

I use sea salt for my pimples. i disolve some of the salt, and leave the rest as granuals. the undisoled salt acts as an exfoliant, and the disoled salt acts as a clearing agent. i use twice a day, with wonderful results. ive tried proactive and many others. this is what works for me. try it and leave feedback

#7 - shawnna hall - 01/15/2008 - 18:04

lemon juice works, takes time for all scars to disappear but it does fade the scars. i put it on in the morning after washing my face n at night....try it.

#9 - patel - 02/12/2008 - 11:11

Never leave toothpaste on overnight! I was told that it dries out the pimple, but instead, I was left with a burn on my face. >-(

#10 - Scars - 02/18/2008 - 17:12

toothpaste does not work. do not put all over your face nor leave it on over night. I had an allergic reaction and cost me mega bucks at the dermatologist..but what does work for ACNE is wash your face with dove unscented 1/4 milk moisturizer in the morning ..pat dry. apply organic aloe vera gel (light brown in color) to face. let dry. at night, rinse face with plain water. pat dry. apply aloe gel again.

for stretch marks, scrub scars with any kind of ivigorating scrub for 1-2 minutes, rinse off pat dry, then apply aloe vera gel evenly. scrub a day, skip a day but still apply aloe gel.

acne scars- limes cut in thin slices apply and softly move in circular motion on scars, then leave on scarred area for 2 min or less. rinse with cold water.

this has worked wonders for me and my family, friend. especially the stretch marks! this is for oily and normal skin.

don't , I repeat don't...do the toothpaste.

i have scars and this scars are almost 8 years..it is possible to
remove in natural way?

#13 - Zel - 02/28/2008 - 01:34

Rubbing lotion or oil of any kind on your scars helps (for acne scars, I don't reccomend oil; just use a facial moisturizer). For any kind of scars in general (except keloid scars), massaging the scarred area will help. This helps to slightly break down the scar tissue and get blood cells moving in the area. :-)

#14 - me - 03/03/2008 - 19:26

for those who have scars please try nutmeg and milk together make it to become a paste and then put on the scars area it really works. you can buy powder nutmeg and also if you have liquid milk or powder milk it's ok at least just try like this
1 tablespoon of milk
1 tablespoon of nutmeg

make it a paste and then place on the scars area on your skin it really works.

Nut Meg & Milk!!!!!!!!!
ITS FAST! ITS HOMEMADE! ITS CHEAP! IT WORKS!!! It honestly does!!!!! :-D

I was a bit skeptical when I read about it but WOW does it ever work! Just go to any grocery store and you can buy ground nut meg for $1.39. You can use any milk (I used whole) but you can use any kind. Mix the nutmeg and milk together in equal amounts. Apply to the scar and allow the remedy to dry over night. Once dry rince off in the morning with cool water and reapply at night! See results after just 6 days!!!!!!! It Truely works :-)

i was looking through, for some new beauty remedies... and came across this... well what can i say? i am the type of person who believes in natural beauty.. and skin care. Most chemicals are harmful and rough on the skin, especially in latter years of life. What i do from time to time.. about 2 or 3 times a month.. is make a mixture and let in set in my skin while i bathe. its more of a beauty mixture.. than particularly for scarring.

a) a little bit of egg whites... just enough to cover your face.
b) a teaspoon of mayo.. lightens the fine facial hairs and gives you a glowing look.
c) a teaspoon of sour cream.. for any blemishes
d) a couple drops of vanilla extract .. penatrates through pores.
e) less than a teaspoon of yeast.. it is very healthy for the glowing and cleansing of dead skin cells

let the mixture set.. till it becomes a thick paste.. and the yeast rises... it is also a good facial scrubber with the little yeast bits inside of it.

then apply to your face in circular motions... a thick layer should do the job. massage into face. for about a minute or two

then was your face completely, pat it dry, and then moisturize your face with a light moisturizer.

#30 - ky - 06/14/2008 - 16:22

I have two scratch marks that have left scars on the side of my face, they look like finger nail scratches, I can not for the life of me figure out how I got them, or how long they have been there. they only show up in the summer after I get a tan. Other wise you can not see them, the darker I get the more you can see them. I am willingly to try anything, any suggestions

#31 - Michelle - 06/15/2008 - 09:08

Hi. I was just recently sunburned very bad on my face, ears, and arms. Does any one have an idea to use on blister scars? I have some on my shoulders and on one of my ears. I have been putting aloe vera and lotion on everything that was sunburned. But I need to find a way to reduce my chances of scarring and if need be a way to get rid of the scars. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks...

i am tryning nutmeg and milk. will come back to here and tell you if it works or not. worth a try i basically have scars everywhere. >-(

#34 - Wowness - 06/24/2008 - 07:10

well, if they are new scars, just buy palmers skin success fading cream, soap, and lotion. It works on new scars, but if they're old, all it does is make your skin brighter.

#35 - momo - 06/24/2008 - 23:34

i have scars from waxing my back, and not closing my pores; which turned all the pores into white heads, which in turn i scratched. not the smartest thing to do. ;-)

but i do use a mexican cream called concha nacar, which works pretty well. i'll have to try some of these home remedies.......but it works good for fading scars. it's a night cream, so just rinse it in the morning, and apply it every night. results will show within about a week. exfoliation works great in addition to this cream. thanx for all of your suggestions! :-D

#36 - laura - 06/29/2008 - 00:37

What about Ingrown hair scars on legs. Recently I got it by trying to epilate, and the result turned out the opposite of what i expected. All Im left with now are scars all over my legs, I tried tweezing them and letting them grow, but they just scarred even more now. What is the best thing to use for this? I cannot use Tendskin (allergies).
Any suggestion??? :-(
