subject: Scars Be Gone - How To Get Rid Of Old Scars [print this page] Acne is a skin condition that affects up to 80% of people in their teens and twenties, and up to 5% of older adults. While many people recover from acne without any permanent effects, some people are left with disfiguring acne scars. The good news is that there are ways on how to get rid of old scars. You can buy some vitamin E capsules, break them, take out the fluid, and smear this fluid on the scars. You can also massage honey on affected parts of your skin, or take it orally to reduce your acne scars and make your skin look younger. But then again, the best way to reduce scars is to treat them as soon as possible.
Yes, early wound care can lessen the severity of scars. Getting rid of scars is far more difficult than preventing or at least limiting their formation. Early wound care means keeping your wound clean and covered, as well as allowing it to fully heal before starting treatment and not picking at scabs. It also involves keeping it moisturized and protecting it from sun exposure.
Massage can also get rid of new scars and prevent the build up of scar tissue. Use moisturizers to massage the scar, in order to increase the blood flow to the scar. This, in turn, will keep the scar moist, prevent a loss in skin elasticity, speed up healing, increase collagen production, and ensure an even distribution of collagen.
As for natural and herbal remedies, you can apply a mixture of sandalwood paste, and black gram paste or rose water on the scars to get them to fade away. Also, you can rub sliced tomato on your skin to close the open pores and save you from oily skin.
It is useful to know how to get rid of old scars, but for best results, it is recommended that you treat new scars as soon as you possibly can.
