Scars, like the accidents that often cause them, aren’t
intentional. Many of us with scars would love nothing more than to do something
that could help them fade or look less apparent. Turns out, there are a few
things that experts believe truly do make a difference.
Sunscreen can help minimize the appearance of scars and protect
them from hyperpigmentation. Use SPF 30 or higher, and use a sunscreen with
zinc to block UVA & UVB rays.
Microderm or dermabrasion treatments can help reduce the
appearance of different types of scars. It’s best to speak with an expert to
learn the best treatment for your scar type.
Lotions with vitamin E or cocoa butter are extra nourishing to
your skin. If you’ve got an injury that’s scabbed but not scarred, use
petroleum jelly to keep it moistened and avoid itching.
Scar reducing creams and patches work to create an ideal
environment for skin re-growth and a varied amount of success has been found
with these products. Of course, for a temporary fix, you can turn to every
gal’s pal. The tube of concealer.
