How to get rid of scars and stretch marks with natural products

Getting rid of scars can be a costly task. Many of the most effective products and treatments have a natural base to them. Here is a great cost-effective, environmentally friendly way to get rid of scars, acne marks, and stretch marks.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Onion
• Raw Honey
• Lemons
• Aloe (from plant is best)
• Vitamin E capsules

1. Each of these products have different functions. How to apply them or how often is left up to you. My stretch marks showed up on my thighs after giving birth to my first child. I left the products by the commode and applied the onion and lemon every time I made a visit.
2. Red or Yellow Onion Onion- Cut and onion in half and apply it to the scar. I'm not sure what this does. I noticed that the medication I was paying $50 a tube for only contained onion extract and a preservative. I only know that it works.
3. raw honey Honey- Raw honey will work to begin to break down tough scar tissue. I apply it by first putting a warm rag on the area followed by a small amount of honey. Let it sit for 5 minutes and the rub off the excess with a warm rag.
4. Lemon- lemon will lighten the darkness of the scar. If your scar is white or lighter than you skin you can skip this step. Cut a lemon and apply the juice to the scar only using a Q-tip. Do this as often as you can.
5. Natural Aloe- Aloe is a great conditioner. It will help soften the scar. Aloe is also nice to keep around the house to be used for other things like sunburn and minor kitchen burns.
6. Vitamin E Capsules - Vitamin E will begin to break up scar tissue. Pop open a capsule using a pin and rub into the scar. Massage the area for 1-2 minutes and allow the gel to sit on the skin. Remove excess with a warm cloth. There are vitamin E lotions and such out there, but stick with the capsule. I found the result to be better.
