(1) Olive Oil
Olive oil is an effective scar removal treatment. It is rich in vitamin E and helps keep the skin soft and moisturized. This in turn promotes the healing of damaged skin. For best results, use extra-virgin olive oil.

Apply some warm extra-virgin olive oil to the affected area and massage using small, circular motions. Wait 30 minutes, and then wipe off the oil with a clean cloth. You can also leave the oil on your skin overnight.


(2) Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is a natural scar remover and it help repair damaged skin and promote growth of healthy skin. In addition, it will improve your skin texture.

Peel the outer green cover off an aloe vera leaf and scoop out the gel-like substance.Apply the gel on your scar and massage in circular motions.
Leave it on for about 30 minutes, and then wash it off.
Apply aloe vera gel twice daily.

Note: Do not apply aloe vera gel on open wounds.

(3) Coconut Oil
Coconut oil can help fade scars. The vitamin E, an antioxidant, in coconut oil increases the healing time and prevents new scars from forming.

Heat some extra-virgin coconut oil.
Put the warm oil on your palm and massage it onto the affected area for 5 to 10 minutes.
Leave it on for at least 1 hour so that the skin absorbs the oil.
For best results, repeat 2 to 4 times a day.

(4) Honey
Honey prevents accumulation of dead skin cells and stimulates skin tissue regeneration.
Apply some honey on the scar, cover it with a bandage and leave it on overnight. The next morning, wash it off with warm water. Repeat daily before going to bed.

(5)  Apple Cider Vinegar
The acidic nature of apple cider vinegar helps exfoliate and remove dead skin cells. This promotes the growth of healthy skin cells and reduces the appearance of scars.
Mix equal amounts of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and water. Dip a cotton ball in it and apply it on the scar. Leave it on for 5 minutes, and then rinse it off with water. Do this once daily.

(6)  Exfoliate
Exfoliate regularly to get rid of old layers of skin. This will promote the growth of new skin and reduce the appearance of scars.
