sydni
remove in natural way?
1 tablespoon of milk
1 tablespoon of nutmeg
make it a paste and then place on the scars area on your skin it really works.
ITS FAST! ITS HOMEMADE! ITS CHEAP! IT WORKS!!! It honestly does!!!!!
a) a little bit of egg whites... just enough to cover your face.
b) a teaspoon of mayo.. lightens the fine facial hairs and gives you a glowing look.
c) a teaspoon of sour cream.. for any blemishes
d) a couple drops of vanilla extract .. penatrates through pores.
e) less than a teaspoon of yeast.. it is very healthy for the glowing and cleansing of dead skin cells
let the mixture set.. till it becomes a thick paste.. and the yeast rises... it is also a good facial scrubber with the little yeast bits inside of it.
then apply to your face in circular motions... a thick layer should do the job. massage into face. for about a minute or two
then was your face completely, pat it dry, and then moisturize your face with a light moisturizer.
i used toothpaste and it did work a bit but it does scar.
so be aware.
Thanks...
nd l need dem 2 be gone in a week!!!
HELP ME PLEASE!
Any suggestion???
You need something that will fade/wipe your scars completely ?
Get creams with hydroquinone.
I've been using Eldoquin forte 4% (by ICN); trust me when I say it works like magic !
Just be sure to wash and put after each hour. Thats what I did.
like cuts/scrapes on different body parts ?
This had worked well for me. I have been to the doctors and the creams and antibiotics haven't worked. Try this!
Does hydroquinone really work for sensitive skin? i had eczema, and my skin is really senstive, so dont wanna take a chance incase it adversely reacts wth my skin, please help!!!!!!
please help
HOPE IT WORKSSSSS.
I ALSO HAVE A SCAR ON MY KNEEE !! WHICH I HATEE GRRRRR

I dont have any remedies, I wish I did. I've tried ALOT of things but nothing seems to work. The acne scars will probably fade away with time. So be patient.

Neway just cut a fresh slice of cucumber and crush it up together w/ skin to get the juice out... and the add ten drops of lemon juice to the cucumber juice, mix it and apply it to face. Leave on for 15mins before washing off. If you use any kind of scrub or cleanser you may still continue using it while using the cucumber & lemon juice.
This is good for dry skin types. . getting rid of face scars/body scars, and lightening red spots on face.
If you have oily skin its best you use honey and lemon.
Iv'e only tried this in the mornings in addition to my daily wash.
Make sure to use a good "face cream" not moisturiser that works with your skin type. If using on body for stretch marks be sure to moisturize daily to prevent yourself from getting new ones.
I'm the type that tries everything and just about anything for better skin. My family and friends know that too and this time after trying this natural inexpensive home remedy they actually saw the difference after my 2nd use. My brother who is always sceptical about these things is now even trying it lol.
I knew he had a lil bit of girl in him hahaha
I havent tried the honey and lemon one yet but i plan to use that on my body as it is kind of dry as well as scars on my legs and arms. .Then i will moisturize and apply bio-oil so that it would even out my skin tone too.
though i cant apply multiple times throughout the day~
it'll be weird for patients to see me with sticky goo on my face~
i hope the scars would be gone~
i'm tired having people pointing it out~
Nutmeg powder and Milk: Rub into scar and leave it on all night,then wash it off in the morning.
Cucumber and Lemon Juice
Rosehip Seed Oil
Egg Yolk and Nutmeg: Mix together and apply to scar daily.
Lemon Juice and Honey: Mix together and apply to scar everyday.
Lemon,Aloe Vera Gel,Tea Tree Oil, and 100% Olive Oil: Use one after another daily.
Rosewater and Lemon Juice: Mix together and use everyday.
P.S. Do not use toothpaste,Mederma,or Scar Zone; toothpaste can cause burns and irritation and Mederma and Scar Zone are only topical treatments to smooth the scar.
Well I hope you take this advice clearly.
-Dr. Shayala Bush M.D.
Toothpaste does tend to burn the skin, if you have a strong skin its fine to leave it on, but DO NOT apply it to an unaffected area. it can reduce blemishes/scars for some reason
Also i have scars on my face, but i have oily skin, so i'm not sure what else to use.
P.S treatment for white scars anyone?
I had a surgery which left a really nasty red and purpilish scar, i use a mix of aloe vera gel and the coco butter scar serum and its becoming lighter every day.
If you don't have money to buy any of that. I find a mix of lemon juice and bicarb soda works alot (also helps exfoliate)
I had stretchmarks on my back and acne scars from my teen years and this cured it big time.
Not cheap, but a little goes a long way.
i stay in chennai , india which is hot place and we can also find mosquitos there ..pls tell me a remidy which is easy and works fast and also available easily .....
HELP PLEASE
does lemon juice can help me a lot? coz i hve so many scars on my legs.

lemon juice and honey everyday applied on face. Also drink Wheatgrass juice. It is a wonderful cell and skin renewal which also eliminates scars and acne.

does it work?
wher do i buy nut meg from?
pleas ehurry, i need help badly!!!!
PLEASE!
I LOVE DIS WEBSITE =]
it gives you a sunburn-type burn in place of the pimple or zit you tried to get rid of overnight...even worse than before
ive been using a homemade paste with milk, honey, and sandalwood *your scar will be gone within a week!
As treatment I used rubbing alcohol to dry them up and make them heal faster. This did not help with scarring.
Last night I used Coconut Oil- I rubbed it, or rather massaged it into my arm over the scars and then went to sleep. I did the same when I returned home from school and the scars are already significantly lighter.
Vitamin E does nothing for them.
Havent tried it myself yet though
acc. to me suggestion 15,28 r the only effective home remedies....
that is "nutmeg n milk paste"
i applied it for few days ,n yes i can see the difference.the scars have lightened.....lets continue n see....
and im 14 now how can i remove it or fade it ? ineed home remedies pls....
It doesn't feel much like paste, in fact, its very gritty and flakes off as I'm rubbing it on. Also, as soon as I lay down in bed, it rubs off on the sheets! I'm curious to see if anyone else has had this same problem with the nutmeg.Has anyone tried this and been successful?? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
all over my face, chest, arms, seriously
in summer i wouldnt even wear anything that showed my skin
that was something that bothered me because it was so hot
and there were so many girls showing off their skin
and being all pretty and i was shy of how i was
but then my grandma told me something that worked ( for me it worked )
going to the beach and the salt in the water heals the scars, i thought
it wouldnt work but it actually did work after a while,
the scars started going away
and now i have clean legs, and the rest of the body also
i still dont wear skirts and stuff cause now my problem is im fat
looool i need to loose a couple of kg,
oh well im dieting now and ready to face the world with clean skin
i also know another good skin treatment if u want it
add me on msn ill send u the link of the video
i am not at home now or i would put it here cuz its on my faves
FOR OLD SCARS, IF YOU HAVE MONEY GO TO A PLASTIC SURGEON. THEY CAN DO A DERMABRASION AND GIVE MEDICAL CREAMS TO APPLY THAT THEY USE ON PEOPLE AFTER SURGERY. SOME OF THESE CAN BE BOUGHT AT CVS.TRY SCARGUARD OR MED-SCAR (BUY OVER INTERNET) OR MEDERMA (IT DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK WELL, BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN USING IT FOR 24 MONTHS). EVEN IF YOU FIND SOMETHING THAT WORKS FOR OLD SCARS, IT WILL TAKE TIME!! GOOD LUCK!!

does honey and lemon juice really work?
You can buy the pricey Salicylic Acid peels for scars online, OR you can get the EXACT same thing at Walmart for $3. It's a highly consentrated form of salicylic acid (not the like the 2% in common face washes, etc.) It is sold over the couter at 27% consentration for callus, corn, and wart removal. It's the exact same product sold for scar treatment/peel for a price thats so affordable! So just go to the section where all the feet medications and stuff are and you'll see it.
I've been applying it once to twice a week and have had great results for the scars on my stomach. Start off once a week, and when the top layer of the scar completely peels off, moisterize, and apply again. Good Luck!
i am having a sports physical this weekend. i have 2 old cuts that are purple-ish and one recent one. both on my legs. I'd like to at least lighten them beforehand. also having a longer-term treatment process would be nice. :0 so if there are any just WONDERFUL treatments for scars,not mentioned,or ones that just worked great,do tell~!!!
i just waste money on buying scar remover products but they didn't really work..
now i am trying nut meg and milk,.. i can say that it does someting to my scars, they are fading but i have this itchy allergies to my scars where i have applied nutmeg nad milk, is that normal?
after i take i shower i wud always put lotion on its vaseline the yellow one and then my scars from antbites and then after like a year or so my they are like almost almost gone gone!!! but i still have some scars left over on my knee trying to learn how to ride a bike...i tried honey my scars got lighter then turned darker or is it just me? i also tried the nutmeg and milk it kinda work? i made my mom try it too and she said her scar got darker......hmmmm imma try both again...
also, DO NOT TRY THE TOOTHPASTE. i, sadly, did. i thought to myself "since it works for sum people, it mite work for me!" big mistake! it leaves scars and they're sooo ugly. don't don't don't do it!
I'm gonna try out the coconut oil, the nutmeg&milk, honey and rosehip seed oil, but do they REALLY work for the scars I've described?
Please, does any one know any good remedies that I can make that WILL get rid of them so they're un noticable? Thank you in advance!!
