After various injuries, accidents or illnesses, scars can remain on our body. These permanent tracks are often a rather embarrassing souvenir, which we would like to get rid of once and for all. Over time, such changes may become less noticeable, but when the scars are large and deep enough, they are not easy to hide. However, as it turned out, expensive and complex plastic surgeries or laser procedures are not always necessary to get rid of scars. Using cosmetics and natural preparations, you can successfully mask unwanted traces on your body. Here are the best tips to reduce the visibility of scars.
Unwanted scars
Scars are skin lesions that remain after damage to the dermis. They can occur as a result of trauma, accident, burns or various types of operations. Damaged skin is replaced by fibrous connective tissue. The scars may be shallow, and soon they may not remain. Some, however, are quite deep and extensive, so they stay with us for years or even forever. Scars on the face after an acute type of acne can be embarrassing, which is difficult to hide. That’s why we are looking for ways to remove or mask unwanted marks on the skin. In order for the scar to completely disappear, it is sometimes necessary to remove it with a laser or surgery. However, these are expensive procedures that not everyone can afford. There are also natural ways to reduce the visibility of scars. Special cosmetic techniques, as well as cosmetics or natural products with a brightening and smoothing effect, can help.
How to cover scars with makeup?
Scars that are not easy to get rid of can be covered with suitable makeup. This applies to marks on the face as well as on the entire body. It is important to use professional makeup products that are opaquer and more durable than those that are used daily. First, you will need a concealer to cover the scars, as well as the base of the face or body to even out skin tone. Do not forget to compare the color of the corrector with the type of scar and skin tone. In case of a red color change (fresh scars, for example, after acne), use a green corrector. For violet-blue scars, a corrector in yellow is best suited. In contrast, old pearl white scars cover the concealer in the color of our skin. To make camouflage scars, we need a good nourishing cream and lotion,
How to make scar camouflage makeup?
Before applying makeup that covers the scars, apply a cream or lotion to the body. It is best to choose those with vitamins C and E, because they will accelerate the process of regeneration of the epidermis, smooth and moisturize the skin. This will help us evenly distribute cosmetics and achieve a natural effect. After moisturizing the skin, we proceed to cover the scar.
Put the corrector on it with a suitable brush, rub it around the edges and pat until it mixes with our skin. Then apply a thin layer of the foundation with a brush or sponge. It should be the color of our skin so that the place covered with it does not stand out against the background of the whole body. Finally, we use transparent powder, which will help fix makeup and give the skin a natural and matte shade. If we cover the scar on the face, we can further emphasize the eyes, lips or cheeks, which will distract attention from the imperfections of beauty. You can use intense lipstick color, curl eyelashes more strongly.
Natural mixture to reduce the visibility of scars
Makeup will cover scars that you don’t want to show to others daily. However, this does not fix the problem, but only helps you temporarily hide the changes. Is it possible to permanently get rid of scars without resorting to expensive treatment methods? Of course, you can use natural products that restore and brighten the skin.
To do this, a mixture of 4 drops of lavender oil, ¼ cup of coconut oil, ¼ cup of olive oil and a tablespoon of honey is suitable. Coconut oil moisturizes and nourishes the skin, and also has antibacterial properties. Olive oil contains omega-3 and omega-6, which have moisturizing, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties. Honey also has a similar effect. In contrast, lavender oil contains vitamin C, organic acids, mineral salts, and tannins.
Thanks to this, it speeds up the healing process, brightens the complexion and helps in the treatment of many skin problems. Heat coconut oil in a saucepan first, then add lavender oil. Finally, pour olive oil and honey. When the ingredients combine, we put the pots on the gas and leave to cool. Finally, place the mixture in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. After this time, the mixture is ready for use. Daily use of the mixture will allow you to get results in a month.
