Home Remedies for Scar Removal

1. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is a natural scar removal remedy due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It works as a natural emollient to help repair damaged skin and promote growth of healthy skin. In addition, it will improve your skin texture.

• Peel the outer green cover off an aloe vera leaf and scoop out the gel-like substance.
• Apply the gel on your scar and massage in circular motions.
• Leave it on for about 30 minutes, then wash it off.
• Apply aloe vera gel twice daily.

Note: Do not apply aloe vera gel on open wounds.

2. Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is another excellent ingredient that can help fade scars. The vitamin E, an antioxidant, in coconut oil accelerates the healing time and prevents new scars from forming. In addition, the lauric, caprylic and capric acids found in coconut oil stimulate collagen production, promote healing of damaged skin and reverse free-radical damage.

• Heat some extra-virgin coconut oil to liquefy it.
• Put the warm oil on your palm and massage it onto the affected area for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Leave it on for at least 1 hour so that the skin absorbs the oil.
• For best results, repeat 2 to 4 times a day.
