Somewhere on our bodies, all of us probably have a scar, whether it was a result of falling down and skinning our knees as a child, acne scars, surgery or from a burn or accident. There are many of us, who are looking for ways to help heal our scars, and help them disappear quickly.

Scars are skin, which is damaged from a burn, cut, or injury that forms a patch, which is many times darker or redder than our other skin. While treating scars from the beginning helps to promote quicker healing and less visible scaring, even if you begin to treat them later there are remedies to help. There are some of us who may have experienced a bad accident that left us with a bad scar. The scar may remind us of the accident each time we see it, and we want it gone. There are ways to help the scar heal quicker and be less visible.

There are some pretty intense surgery’s available for treating scars caused from burns and accidents, such as skin grafts to help reattach healthy skin over the burned or removed skin. However, less invasive home remedies could help.

There are several natural remedies, using vegetables, plant extracts, herbs and minerals. They have healing elements that help us to treat many symptoms including scaring and promoting healthy, youthful skin. One of the most widely used natural ingredients around my house is Aloe Vera, which is very conditioning to the skin. By using Aloe straight on freshly burned skin could help prevent permanent scaring. However, always run water over a burn to cool the skin before placing any product on the burn. Placing anything beside cold water or a cold cloth could trap the heat in the skin and cause more damage.

Another very useful natural scar cure is through Vitamin E oil massaged into the skin. Apply the oil directly to the scar, a few times each day. Scar sufferers should see great results in only a few weeks. A few other natural remedies for scars include saturating a cotton ball or Q-tip with blanched green tea and apply it directly on the scar, massage coconut oil into the scar to lighten the color, use lemon juice, honey, lavender oil or olive oil directly on the scar. They are miracle workers for removing scars. Apply them directly to the skin or scar and not only will you notice a natural glow to your skin, but the process will help to remove scars quickly while conditioning the skin.

One of the most common scars people are in search of remedies for are acne scars. Most of us have probably experienced some sort of acne during our lives. Acne, the pimples which most of us experience during adolescents, seems to be very prone to scaring. Possibly from being picked by their owners. While most scars can be treated, with the same remedies, there are a few remedies found to be more effective against acne scaring. A few other remedies are to apply tree oil directly on the scars, applying cucumber juice to the scars and leaving the cucumber juice for several minutes, then removing with cold water. For an overnight treatment on the face, one could apply sandalwood paste with rose water and then remove it with cold water in the morning.
