Natural Cures for Scarring
One of the main goals of skin care specialists is to remove scars left behind by acne and other dermal conditions. This problem has been attacked with many different approaches and products but, as patients have discovered, they don’t yield important results. Some people have used microdermabrasion or resorted to surgery, but both can be dangerous.
Success Found In Natural Solutions
Many dermatologists prefer to work with natural solutions, recommending natural skin care treatments for scarring whenever possible.
The next treatments have had success, so, they’re worth a try.
Sea Buckthorn Oil - This traditional treatment for healing the skin is taken from the berries of a bush found in The Netherlands. It has been used for wounds, lesions, eczema, sun damage, burns and abrasions. With the onset of the anti-aging movement, it has also become a popular natural skin care alternative for reducing skin dryness and wrinkles associated with age. It is extremely high in flavinoids, phytosterols (anticarginogens), vitamins C, A, B1, B2, E and various essential fatty acids. The oil is a deep reddish orange and can color the skin a bit, but it washes off easily.
Wheat Germ Oil - Commonly used in cosmetics and as a dietary supplement, it is very efficient at reducing scars and stretch marks. It contains vitamins A, D, E, B1, B2, B3, B6, and F and is also high in protein, minerals and contains essential fatty acids. It’s especially good to treat and rejuvenate dry, aging and dehydrated skin. Obtaining an organic oil of high quality is important for effectiveness, and it should be refrigerated. If wheat or wheat gluten causes you allergies, stick with one of the other suggestions.
Macadamia Oil - Often associated with Hawaii, Macadamia trees are actually native to Australia where the oil has been traditionally used as a natural skin care product and as a cooking oil. The oil is very high in essential fatty acids and is very similar to sebum, the protective oil that our skin produces naturally. Its regenerative properties are great and it is used to heal sunburns, wounds, and scars. Even though you are using this topically, make sure you obtain good grade oil, as some varieties are toxic.
Rosehip Seed Oil - Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A and E, the rosehip seeds have long been recognized as an ingredient for a healthy tea however,the oil has only recently been recognized as a treatment for premature aging. Research has revealed that it repairs UV and radiation damage, reduces wrinkles, and heals scars from acne, burns and surgery. Nowadays, its regenerative properties are thought to be the most efficient.
A new natural acne scarring treatment is now available to rejuvenate your skin thanks to natural ingredients that guarantee no allergic reactions or adverse side effects.
