I had pretty bad scarring so finally after trying expensive products I thought I`ll try the home-remedy approach and sure enough after two weeks my scars lightened significantly! This is what I did once a week I would do the 6 step facial. 1.Cleanse,2. Ex-foliate (mix brown sugar and lemon juice), 3. steam (I just used a hot towel and left it on my face for 5 min) 4. Mask (1 tbs chopped parsley, 2 tbs organic oatmeal, 2 tbs organic yogurt, 1 tbs lemon juice and mix) leave it on for 10 minutes, 5. Tone (a bit of witch hazel and apple cider mixed together) 6. Moisturize.
For the other days after cleaning my face and apply toner I would take the pulp from a lemon a small piece that was whatever size my scar was and just place it on tip of the scar. Make sure you only put the pulp on top of the scar and not the surrounding skin or it will lighten that area too. I kept it on till the pulp dried but you can just leave it on for 10 minutes. See how you go with that.

umm jz wondering, is rose hip oil and bio oil the same? Wanna get either one cos hv pit scar due to picking pimples yrs bck. Nvr took serious care of my skin bck then. Hope its not too late. Anyone could tell me roughly how long can u see the result if using rose hip oil/bio oil? Preferably sth quicker as wanna look better during my wedding in aug. So sad having to look in the mirror everyday and see those pits. Not too many but few on the cheeks, which are bad enough.
