Natural Remedies To Reduce Recent Scars
Learn about the nutrients and natural ointments that we can prepare to help close a wound well, regenerate the skin and form good scars.
Scars are small patches of skin, light pink, brown, or whitish, that form where there was previously a cut or wound. Scars are the way the skin is “repaired.”
Some scars fade over time, although these usually last a lifetime. The mark they leave is painless and as for the health of the person, if it has healed correctly, it should not cause any problems. Although, for aesthetic purposes, in certain circumstances scars can be problematic.
In some cases it is possible to try to help disguise the scars with some natural remedies, although, as professionals explain, it is impossible to eliminate them in this way. If you want to correct the scar more deeply (not eliminate it completely, this is not feasible in any case) you should go to a specialist to assess whether it is correct to carry out an aesthetic treatment.
As for natural treatments to help mitigate them, it is possible to opt for certain natural ointments that we will apply on the skin. Next, we develop it.
Preparation of a natural ointment to reduce scars
Prepare this natural ointment with the following healing and regenerating ingredients for the formation of good scars:
- Aloe vera.
If you have the plant you can directly extract the gelatin inside. If not, you can buy a natural aloe gel. There is some scientific evidence on the healing properties of Aloe Vera.
As the experts explain, Aloe, in this specific case, has the ability to increase cell proliferation and effectively and quickly help wound healing in the mouth. However, they point out that this healing property can be extended to any type of skin injury regardless of the origin : whether it is a burn, scrape or cut.
Part of the mechanisms involved in the recovery of Aloe injuries is due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
- Rosehip oil.
Rosehip oil is one of the most popular natural remedies among the population to help cope with scars. There are studies that explain how rosehip oil, due to its richness in essential fatty acids, seems to be effective among the general population to prevent and mitigate the impact of different dermatological conditions such as burns, scars, ulcers and wrinkles.
Necessary quantities
- 3 tablespoons of aloe vera gel (45 g)
- 3 tablespoons of rosehip oil (45 g)
- If desired, it is possible to supplement the ointment with 10 drops of lavender oil and 10 drops of vitamin E, products that are beneficial to health and that can promote the positive effect of the mixture.
Preparation of the mixture to reduce scars
- First, mix the same amount of aloe vera and rosehip oil in a glass container.
- Then add 10 drops of lavender essential oil and vitamin E.
- Stir well with a wooden utensil.
- To keep it better, you keep it in the refrigerator.
