We all have our scars. From acne to chicken pox, they’re the marks that leave us branded for life. Or so you think. There are a few schools of thought when it comes to scars. You have those who choose to live with their scars, identifying them more as a source of character. Some people will go to great lengths to remove unwanted marks, even resorting to laser surgery to erase the wounds. Then there are those who don’t care enough to undergo cosmetic surgery but do care enough to give home remedies a shot. If you fall into the latter, here are a few options you can attempt to use to banish that blemish. It’s important to remember you’ll treat old wounds differently from new wounds. Vitamin E has a reputation for boosting skin health and can work for both. Apply vitamin E oil to the scar. Massage it into the scar. Or you can break open a vitamin E capsule and allow the oil to pour into the scar.Over time it should minimize the appearance of the scar. Castor oil can also be used to treat existing scars. Soak a piece of flannel cloth with castor oil and hold it on the scar for one to two hours in the morning and evening. For fresh scars, use a cream with aloe vera or a leaf from an aloe vera plant. Rub the juice into the scar. This will help soften and loosen the skin. It works especially well on acne scars. To prevent scars from getting worse, always use sunscreen as the UV rays make damage worse. One important rule of thumb is to never, ever pick at scabs, pimples and other blemishes. Picking is one of the quickest ways to scar yourself. So quit while you’re ahead.
