Natural Skin Care: How to take care of you Scars

by Abigail Mckenzee

If the truth be told, I would be hard pressed to find a friend or family member who does not have some type of scar. Scars are just a part of life. Some marks don't require much to be covered up, while others aren't so easy to mask.

There must be dozens of skin care products on the market today that claim to help reduce scars from wounds or surgeries and even stretch marks. However, most of them seem very expensive and are not very effective.

You've probably experimented with different types of scar products with no real results, but don't let this discourage you. However, you can still find a great deal of comfort in a natural skin care cream that contains ingredients capable of "dissolving" scar tissue. It may seem a bit odd to think that a natural product could be more effective than a synthetic, traditional product, but bear with me.

Miracle Products from Nature

Two skin care ingredients have been used for centuries to cure skin problems and other ailments:

*Helix Aspersa Muller extract, better known as snail serum

*and Rose hip seed oil

The use of snail serum, for example, can be traced as far back as Hippocrates. Both Hippocrates and his colleagues used snail serum to soften skin and as a Rosacea treatment.

Rose hip oil also has a millenary tradition. For centuries, indigenous tribes in the South of Chile have used rose hips for problems such as scurvy and kidney dysfunction. It has also been used as moisturizer and to minimize stretch marks.

Scar Treatment

Snail serum became important to scar treatments about two decades ago when heliculture workers noticed that the part of their skin that had come in contact with snail serum was healing at a miraculous rate. It quickly became obvious that it could be a great ingredient for skin care products.

Snail serum is a glycoconjugates compound that contains natural enzymes, co-enzymes, peptides, and other molecules. It corrects cellular communication and reduces scar tissue formation in the skin. These glycoconjugates also help reduce excessive inflammation by regulating cell proliferation.

When the serum is applied to the affected area, the glycoconjugates head straight for the injury and begin to breakdown the damaged cells with amino acids. The broken down cells are quickly replaced with healthy cells.

Rose hip seed oil has also shown amazing results when it comes to stretch mark removal. Thanks to its rich composition, consisting of Vitamins A and C and essential fatty acids, this product works by accelerating the skin's cellular activity to improve skin renewal and cell regeneration.

Wound Healing

Rose hip oil and Helix Aspersa Muller can speed up the healing process. The skin's renewal process is accelerated and damaged skin cells are quickly replaced with new ones. However, keep in mind that some scars react better than others. They might not be as effective on keloid scar removal as they are on preventing their formation.

If you are sick and tired of trying to eliminate your scars with ineffective, synthetic creams, then you should try a natural scar treatment instead. BIOSKINCARE is one of the best skincare products that can help attenuate stretch marks and keloid scars.
