Natural Skin Care: How to take care of you Scars

by Abigail Mckenzee

Finding someone without some sort of scar is like finding a fly without its wings. Scars are just a part of life. Some are easily covered or disguised, but others are a bit harder to mask.

There are at least a dozen different types of skin care products that claim to help reduce stretch marks, surgery scars, or wounds scars. Nevertheless, most of them are expensive and have a hard time keeping their promise of scar removal.

You may have tried all the traditional products there are and still have scars, but don't let this discourage you. However, there is one type of product that has shown amazing results in treating scars - natural skin care cream containing Helix Aspersa Muller. It may seem a bit crazy to trust a natural product over a more traditional one, but bear with me.

Miracle Products found in Nature

There are two products that have been used consistently over the ages 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 some of his colleagues would use snail serum to soften skin and treat Rosacea.

Rose hip oil has, for years, been a part of skin care treatment. It was initially used by indigenous tribes in the South of Chile to treat scurvy and kidney dysfunction as well as a skin moisturizer and a treatment that can help minimize stretch marks.

Scar Treatment

About two decades ago snail serum became an important part of scar and wound healing. This occurred when heliculture workers noticed that the scar tissue exposed to snail serum had reduced in size. 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 regulate cellular proliferation, reducing excessive inflammation.

When the serum is applied to the affected area, the glycoconjugates move towards the injury and begin breaking down the damaged cells with amino acids. The broken down cells are quickly eliminated and replaced with healthy cells.

Rose hip seed oil is also a benefit for treatments that depend on 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

Both snail serum and rose hip oil can speed up the healing process. They both help accelerate the skin's natural renewal process thereby quickly replacing damaged skin cells with new ones. But, be warned, not all scars react alike. For example, rose hip oil and helix aspersa muller extract may not be as effective on keloid scar removal as they are on preventing their formation.

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