Scrub it right

The first and foremost way to make your scars appear to the minimum is to slough off the top layers of the skin. This can be done by exfoliation, something that must be done on a daily basis. You can use a herbal scrub made of sandalwood powder, chamomile powder, fuller’s earth (multani mitti), orange peel and turmeric, with a few drops of vitamin C toner, to make a paste. This will help you scrub the dead skin away, and also regenerate the skin and give it a smooth feel. You can also add calamine powder to this mixture, if you have acne scars. 

Consider laser 

Currently, laser treatments are being considered by many brides-to-be for the removal of scars. It takes a dedicated laser treatment of 30 days for effective healing of the scar. This treatment also speeds up the collagen building process, which results in lightening of the scar day by day. These days laser treatments are easily available, and you can consult a dermatologist for the same. In case you are planning to go for laser treatment, scrubbing will come in handy, as it prepares the skin for the treatment to be more effective.

Go AHA all the way

Known as the secret behind Cleopatra's beauty, Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA), is a very popular ingredient in many beauty products for giving the skin a smoother and firmer texture. For scars, a dermatologist gives this treatment twice a week, wherein AHA cream is applied on the scar. After this, an ultrasonic machine is used to help the cream penetrate deep in the skin for best results. The penetration helps generate collagen, heal the skin and lighten the scar.

Learn the art of concealing

In case you do not have time to undergo the procedures mentioned above, you can definitely conceal the scar with the correct use of makeup. Apply on your scar, a concealer that is one shade darker than your skin tone. Now, apply a foundation matching your skin tone, and finish off with loose powder. A professional makeup artist, however, usually uses colour correctors to give you a perfect finish.
