How to Fade Scars at Home

Even small cuts can turn into permanent scars.

Scars develop when you have an injury to your skin such as cuts or acne. Some scars are minimal and go unnoticed; others stand out and become a nuisance. Left untreated, the scar will become permanent. If action is taken immediately, the chance of the scar fading increases whereas the more time that passes, the higher the risk is of the scar becoming permanent. Preventative measures are the best way of making sure scars fade.

• Water
• Aloe vera
• Lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. sour cream
• 1 tbsp. yogurt
• 1 tbsp. oatmeal
