How to Lighten and Remove Scars Naturally
While pirates and adventurers may enjoy regaling their audiences with the "story" behind each of their scars, most of us would prefer that our visible scars just go away. However, most surgical options are reserved for very serious scarring, and surgical removal of small, cosmetic scars can often just cause bigger scarring problems. Fortunately, you can easily and inexpensively remove your scars with a simple process and a little patience. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Exfoliate the scarred skin. Use the sugar scrub and the soft wash cloth along with warm water. Do not use heavy pressure, since you do not want to scrape up the scar, but rather just remove dead skin. Once you are done exfoliating, pat the area dry with the soft towel.

2
Rub vitamin E oil into the scar. Use your fingertip -- not your fingernail -- and be sure to rub along the length of the scar rather than perpendicular to the scar. Do this at least twice a day, once after exfoliating or washing in the morning, and again at night. Vitamin E is nearly twice as effective when applied immediately after exfoliation.

Moisturize the area. Making sure that the scarred area's skin cells are fully hydrated will help them renew themselves more quickly. Do not moisturize until the vitamin E oil has completely absorbed.

Tips & Warnings
Exfoliate every three days. On the days that you do not exfoliate, you should just wash with a gentle cleanser. You can use vitamin E oil every day, multiple times each day.
Exfoliating more frequently than every 3 days can lead to chronic skin irritation and adult acne.

Is this proven? Does it really work? Cause I already bought a set of ingredients to start removing these "mosquito bite" scars back when I was a kid... So does it "really" work? Your comments will be highly appreciated, thank you.
