So, for a while I have been researching on oils (actually university material based on research). It seems like some oils are your best friend when it comes to scars and stretch marks.
STRETCH MARKS....
These occur when there is rapid expansion of the body, causing the skin to stretch beyond its natural capacity.
This causes micro-tears that form visible scars and are very stubborn. They are like those childhood scars that we carry on to our sunset years.

The stretching could be due to various factors eg:
♣ Pregnancy
♣ Rapid weight gain, especially due to medicine and hormonal contraceptives.
♣ Rapid weight loss, also due to illness, medicine or hormonal contraceptives > In this case, probably there were stretch marks but they were not visible due to the skin stretching.
♣ Rapid weight gain, then weight loss, then weight gain, then loss....

The factors vary.
♥STRETCH MARKS ARE BEST DEALT WITH PRO-ACTIVELY...
Once you realize that you may be rapidly expanding, eg early pregnancy, start using oils and serums then, so that the skin heals as fast as its injured.
If you start medication that may possibly cause weight, also use the oils and emollients.
You don't have to slather yourself with the oils; just mix a small portion to your normal body lotion (like a quarter of the lotion should be castor or shea butter or cocoa butter.

♠THE SCARS ALREADY EXIST... how do we go about it?
So far, the most celebrated products for scars are shea butter and castor oil.
For example, after an accident or surgery, incorporate these oils when cleaning the wound.
Not only will the scar be minimized, but heal faster.

♣Castor oil is well known for healing properties. The oils will encourage faster healing, as well as preventing scars to form or if they do, they are barely noticeable!!!
※I personally mix castor-shea cream with my lotions and the results are remarkable!!※
Shea butter and castor oil make the skin more supple and thus prevent easy scarring. This is best when you are using medicine that causes dry skin, or you are in a very dry area. They also help heal and prevent sun burns too.
OF SERUMS AND OILS...
Serums are basically a more concentrated combination of various fatty acids of a particular oil or herb and are often sold in tiny bottles.
Some serums do work in erasing scars; provided you start using them BEFORE or IMMEDIATELY after the injury.
Downside: hard to find and often very expensive

There are oils that have healing properties for the skin.
♥One such oil is Shea butter. Whether used on its own or in an oil mix, it makes a very potent scar healer, even if the scars have matured.

♥Another super oil is Castor oil. This oil penetrates deep into the scar tissue and dissolves it, while encouraging healthy re-growth of cells in that area. This makes it a good fade oil for scars. When used IMMEDIATELY after injury, the skin will heal and there will barely be a scar (unless stitching was involved).
The best part is that castor oil is VERY affordable and a little goes a LONG way so you will rarely purchase another bottle in months (unless you start using it on your hair for growth and nourishing... then you get addicted!!!)
With a comedogenic value of 1, castor oil will hardly block your pores; its absorbed completely!!

Shea butter has comedogenic value of 0 so it is COMPLETELY absorbed by the skin (despite its rock-hard consistency!!). You can whip it with castor oil to make a creamy body butter.
If you are for the more economic option,
you can start with the shea+castor mix, and you should notice a difference within a month (and an addiction afterwards.....) The anti-bacterial, anti-viral and healing properties combined with the shea's nourishing and super-healing aspects should give your skin a boost.

So, there you have it; a small bit on scars and what you can use to heal and erase them.
This is Serenity!!!
