3 Ways to Naturally Reduce Facial Scars
Because of their location, facial scars are conspicuous and pose a big cosmetic challenge to many people. And because the face is one of the most exposed parts of the body, facial scars take a longer time to heal compared to scars on other parts of the body.
Here are a few home treatments for facial scars that can improve the appearance of facial scars but cannot remove them completely:
1. Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter contains antioxidants that help to keep your face moisturized. When the skin is moisturized, the scar tissue softens, and with consistent application, you should see some improvements in your skin’s appearance.
2. Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is an effective bleaching agent. If applied consistently for a few days, it lightens the scarred tissue on the face and reduces atrophic scars’ appearance, especially those caused by acne. The vitamin c in lemon juice also boosts cell growth and accelerates skin repair.
3. Cucumber
Cucumbers are also effective when it comes to treating facial scars. Like lemon juice, cucumbers also brighten the scarred tissue diminishing the appearance of your scars. Cucumbers are also rich in vitamin C, which helps to speed up skin regeneration. Put cucumber slices or mash on the scars for a few minutes every day, and in a few weeks, you will see some positive results.
