Angel asks:

I have scars on my face. When I was a kid, I used to scratch my skin with my nails. Now, I am 22 years old (female) and the scars on my face are very prominent. They look like as if these are manholes on a street. How can I get rid of my scars?

  1. Well, if the scars are due to injury by nails then you may try mederma or fabindia vit E depigmentation cream. But let me warn you, it needs regular application twice a day for 3-6months for you to see visible effects. *haan ji*

    If it’s acne scars then you may try home remedies like lemon-honey or potato juice on the scars.
    A dermatologist can recommend you depigmentation creams. But use with caution. Improper usage may lead to white patches.

  2. ■ dry turmeric with lemon juice directly applied on scars , made them fade very easy and quickly.

  3. You can also try Nomarks, it’s quite effective. I am using it from last two months and it has removed my acne marks to an extent.

  4. Its always good to go natural on your skin… there are multiple ways to clear those acne scars naturally..but remeber this wil take some time, but totally worth it.. no side effects.!!
    1.turmeric – the best.. also improves complexion, evens out skin tone AND reduces facial hair growth over continued use.
    2.honey+lemon combo in equal amounts. Lemon alone might give a burning sensation, so add honey, plus, honey moisturises ur skin.
    3. Red sandalwood paste with rose water.
    4 . turmeric+neem face pack..added advantage of preventing breakouts.
    Hope this will be helpful..

  5. Hi Angel,

    It depends on how deep your scars are. If the scars are deep, then you could get laser resurfacing at skin therapy clinics. But this is a rather expensive series of therapy.

    If you would like it to heal slowly – which is probably a better option, you could start with an exfoliating toner. Use it alternate days and follow with a good serum that promotes cell renewal and moisturizer. If you don’t feel like buying a cell renewing serum, you could try rosehip oil. Rosehip oil is really good for skin renewal. Use 2-3 drops and gently pat on your scar area. The best option is to use it at night so your skin won’t look too oily during the day.

    That said, try not to dislike or feel bad about your scars. Accept it, and then try to fix it. Your skin will heal better if you don’t dread it.

    To cover it, you can use a good corrector. MAC has the Pure Orange corrector which works very well with people with medium to dark skin. They also have other shades too, depending on your skin tone. Pat the corrector on top of foundation, blend lightly, then pat concealer. This will reduce the appearance of the scars. Good luck!

  6. Try using red sandalwood. I remember reading that it helped someone to get rid of her childhood scars. Hth.
