Is Palmer's cocoa butter effective in lightening dark scars?

I have several dark scars on my legs left by eczema. I spent a lot of money on chemical peeling to expensive whitening products. It left my skin blotchy and the skin tone uneven. So I want to even out my skin tone and fade the dark scars. I heard Palmer%26#039;s cocoa butter is a good product. But is it really effective?|||solution: dermaline skin whitening cream or lotion..

I think you might ask a dermatologist about a cream that lightens.

How to get rid of uneven pigmentation and pimple scars on the cheeks?

For mild scars and pigmentation, use a treatment program that combines microdembrasion and smoothbeam. Use lots of strong sunblock and avoid the sun. Tans temporarily even you out, but the pigmentation spots look worse when the tan finally fades out. The added benefit of this program is that smoothbeam will clear active acne and reduce breakouts in the future.





For deeper scarring, a new laser treatment called Fraxel provides excellent results, and is usually available from upscale dermatologists and plastic surgeons.





A long-term skin rejuvenation program might include both treatments under a dermatological surgeon over the course of several months.





Good luck!|||There are creams out there that will help with this problem. Here is an example of one :

What are some brands of cosmetic treatment to clear up acne scars?

These arent cosmetic but they should help you out





Lemon juice is effective in lightening the dark spots left by acne and pimples.





First, cleanse the scarred area with water. Soak up a teaspoon of lemon juice with a cotton ball and smooth it over the marks. Leave the juice in place for ten minutes, then rinse.





Be careful how often you use lemon juice: it can have the side effect of making your skin light sensitive. Make sure to cover treated areas with sunscreen before going outdoors.








Here are a few other remedies





Vitamin E





Try applying vitamin E to the scarred area three to four times daily to help reduce its visibility. If you keep at it, you should see some results after one to two weeks. It takes a long time before you get really noticeable effects.





Honey and pearl





A useful facial pack for acne is honey and pearl powder.





Apply a mask of it for 15 minutes. If you can keep doing it every week, your skin will become lighter and smoother.








Tea tree oil





Some medications made from natural ingredients, such as rosehip seed oil and tea tree oil, will not only help to heal scars, but also significantly work to prevent future scarring.








Leeks





Peel the membrane from white are of the leek while watching TV or resting. Place a peeling over scarred areas for ten minutes every day. You can secure it with a bandage to keep it from falling off. Keep this up for a few weeks and you%26#039;ll see the color fade away





Ginger





After cleaning your skin, cut a few slices of fresh ginger and apply to the affected area for 20 minutes. You%26#039;d better do this laying down, otherwise the ginger may fall off. It might burn a little, but probably not too much. The ginger may leave behind a bit of redness after you removeit, but don%26#039;t be too worried. Just wipe off and have a good rest. In the morning, the scar should become smooth, and will hopefully fade completely within two weeks.





Aloe Vera Plant


cut off a piece and squeeze the goopy gel inside and apply to skin.It lightens and fades scars while fighting and preventing acne.Apply before bed let dry[2-3 min tops]and sleep with it on soft glowing skin in the morning.

What is the best way to get rid of 2 deep scars i have on my thigh? I heard of Z-Plasty and skin grafting.?

Which methods are the best and most effective and which ones have the shortest recovery time?|||Mederma was recommended by a doctor for a friend with a C-section scar and it worked. I know you want to go to extremes but maybe you could take a picture of your scar, try Mederma every day for 2 months, and take another picture and compare the pictures. If it hasn%26#039;t helped, THEN try something more drastic.


ZPlasty has a recovery time of 14 days, and is very effective. You will still have a scar, but they just pull the sides in so instead of having an O shaped scar you will have an I shaped scar. I doubt you%26#039;ll be able to do this for less than $2700, plastic surgeons are pricey!...


Skin grafting can take up to a year to heal, and you are pretty much moving the scar from your thigh to another part of your body that they took the skin from. This will cost a minimum of $2000. BARE minimum. If you fly to India to get the skin graft it costs about $690.


Good luck!

What is the over the counter medicine for leg scars and itching?

Mederma can help with the scars. It doesn%26#039;t always help with the itching, though.

Does bare minerals work for people with acne and scars?

does it work to cover everything perfectly?


do you have to put on something kind of coverup under to make it work better or is it good by itself?


where can it be purchased?|||NO its really not good for acne skin at all, it contains bismuth and talc%26#039;s that can cause more clogging of your pores. I have also seen many,many reviews on MSN, Yahoo and makeup alley that people have broken out even worse and irritated. I use bee luscious cosmetics I love it its hypoallergenic maybe look into that brand a little .|||I personally have not had a problem with bare minerals. Keep in mind that I have never really had an acne problem or scarring on my face, but I use it everyday and personally have no complaints about it.

It depends on the type/concentration of peel you get (30%, 40%, etc) but generally I would tell peole to stop their topical antibiotics 3 days before the peel and 3 days after.

Do you feel you can be happy about tellign people you cut yourself and feel proud, the same way as if you passed an exam? If not, you shouldnt really be doing it huh? The truth is i think you know you shouldnt be doing it.


Please talk to a counsellor about what you are trying to deal with. I cut for a year and then several other episodes one not so long ago, but it is soemthing thats not right and you should not continue doing it please look for alternatives that may help you become distracted from doing it. Find other ways to deal with stress when it comes your way - go for a run, jog, talk to your friends about whats troubling. Counselling isnt as bad as it seems - they really can help they are extremely friendly and you can talk freely about any issues that you may otherwise feel embarrased or guilty talking about.


Bulimia tends to stem from depression are there aspects of your life or yourself that make you feel depressed? Do you feel upset about the way you look? Bulimia wil do nothing but make it worse and make you feel bad about doing it the same with cutting, you need to deal with this from within, what do you feel about life your current situation are you talking about the real problem here? youre not right? Please talk about what it is thats affecting you, its up to you to make it better. You are your own best friend. :)

From your friend that may love and care for you?


Instead of thinking how to hide them you may want to think on how to stop that.


Why do you do that in the first place? You are probably sad, angry and frustrated. You probably think you are worthless and you won%26#039;t see any end to it, any light beyond the tunnel.


Well, there is a light, and there is aa way out.


Instead of hurting yourself again and again, you may go and make yourself useful to others: helping at an animal shelter, or with elder or disabled people, or people who have real problems, like hunger, drugs, poverty and abuse.


I suggest you read about the many women before you that hurt themselves or had bullimia and other problems. It is related to your genes and the way you were raised (your environment) and a deep pain you have inside. I know that, I%26#039;m a woman too and there are many ways of hurting ourselves or allowing others to hurt ourselves.


When boys get depressed, angry and frustrated, they tend to act out: hurt somebody else, even kill people (remember Columbine). But when women feel the same, we hurt ourselves (read about Angelina Jolie and how she hurt herself so much, and see how she%26#039;s dealing with anorexia now). But at least she makes herself useful to others.


It%26#039;s a long way, but believe me, it is not %26quot;hiding%26quot; how you are going to deal with the cause of it in the first place.


Take care friend.|||Hide it?? Do you want to die? That%26#039;s what will happen if you don%26#039;t get some help with this right now! Please talk to a counselor at school or your family doctor.|||You need to get help. Cutting yourself can cause infections and will leave permanent scars that you will regret it. bulimia is very bad. it is bad for your teeth and health. vomit has a very high pH with a lot of acid. The acid eats away your esophagus and will cause your gums to recede and can cause your teeth to fall out. Don%26#039;t hide them. If you are afraid to ask for help, let them show so that a teacher or an adult sees them and helps you get help.|||you just need to stop so you wont have to hide it|||This is something very serious, and you shouldn%26#039;t hide it any longer. Please tell your family about this; you need to expose it to the people around you, so that they can help you find real solutions such as speaking with a therapist. I know it%26#039;s very hard to do, but once you show it to people, it will become easier to get the help that you need. Show it to your parents, because they need to know that this is happening. Once they know, they will recognize that you need real help. As for the bullimia, you also need to tell someone as soon as possible. This is causing internal damage to your body. Even if you call a teen help-line, at least you will be able to speak with someone confidentially. I%26#039;ve called those lines before, and believe it or not, it led me to seeking real help for my depression at that time.

Which works better for getting rid of acne scars, St. Ives or Aveeno exfoliating scrub?

I don%26#039;t have bad skin I just get the occasional breakouts. I have a couple of scars that I really want to get rid of! I already use Proactiv to get rid of blemishes and all I need to do is get rid of the leftover scars.


Any advice??


=]|||Depends on the scars, are they reddish dark marks leftover form the pimples or are they depressions in the skin? For dark marks, you need to use a sunscreen everyday so that they don%26#039;t get that way in the first place and any exfoliating scrub will help lighten them by slowly removing layers of damaged skin. For faster results, use a scrub that has salicylic acid or glycolic acid.

They are light and natural looking and come in a variety of color shades. They are formulated for different skin types and are non-comedogenic. They really do stay on for 12-16 hours - even through swimming and working out and are very natural looking. If you have just a small place or two to cover up - there is a special waterproof cover foundation called Dermablend. Loreal makes it and it can be perfectly color matched to your skin shade. This is available at better department stores like Dillards, Macy%26#039;s etc.


Also a trick I learned from a make-up artist is to take a tiny bit of very light brown eye shadow on a Q-tip or make-up brush and shade in the scarred area. Make sure you blend well. This works because the reason scars show up is that they are paler than the surrounding skin after the redness fades away. Until then use a green toned cover stick and cover with foundation.

It%26#039;s better to try them, though, especially with scars, which can give some people the wrong impression depending on the scar/where it%26#039;s placed/etc.


You can also try scar-reducing serums like Mederma (although you really have to commit to Mederma - it needs to be put on almost 3-4 times daily for a good several weeks.)


Shea butter is said to work to reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks, so that%26#039;s another option.

Of what?





Quite a few vaccinations are given on the %26quot;butt%26quot;, and they leave no scarring.





In fact, the only type of vaccination that leaves a scar is a smallpox vaccine...which is not a %26quot;butt injection%26quot;, and not even really given anymore, except by the military.





EDIT: Wait, there is someone out there who is willing to inject something to make your butt bigger?





I guess vanity knows no bounds..





That said, if your skin grows too fast, you get scarring (stretch marks). Someone injecting something into you to make it bigger would certainly run a risk of expanding your skin too quickly, unless you already have a cottage cheese thing going on...





Personally, I%26#039;ve found that you can expand your bum just fine by eating a lot of ice cream and watching soap operas all day...worked great for my ex girlfriend.





My REAL recommendation though: Don%26#039;t inject crap into your body for purposes of vanity. You only get one body, and the last thing you need is for someone to be poking it with a needle any more than people already do.

How do i get rid of acne and acne scars.I have really bad acne and blemishes from acne scares.?

i have used various products but none of them have actually worked.i even tried proactive soulution.i have been using it for about 6 months.My skin is really oily if i dont use any products but if i do my skin dries out.any advice?|||The best way to get rid of acne is to go see a dermatologist. They will probably prescribe accutane for you. I’m not sure what you’ve heard, If its dangerous etc, but it is the only product on the market proven to work. Like every medication it has its side effects etc, but it really works. I had terrible acne on my back, chest, and face. After 2 months, I no longer get pimples, and all of my old ones are gone, I just have a bit of scaring still on my face and back which get better and fainter all the time. Mederma is a great product for fading scars too and can be found at any pharmacy/drugstore.





Of course, some parents don’t think it’s best to take their kids to a dermatologist and you have to respect their wishes. One thing I found that worked really great for me just at home using simple products was this daily routine:


1. Take a shower when you wake up in the morning and make sure to wash your face, chest, back and any other acne trouble spots with a mild bar soap. (I would recommend cetaphil, you can buy it at any drug store, cvs, etc. it costs about $5) Make sure to keep your hair clean, and wash the rest of you too.


2. When you get home from school remove all make-up. No one is going to see you except you’re family.


3. Every afternoon when you’re done homework, put on running shoes, and play clothes, and get active. 20 minutes on a tredmill, at the gym, or outside playing your favorite sport will actually help. Make sure you work hard enough to sweat. Sweating is good.


4. When you come back from getting some fresh air, go take a shower. Sweating releases all the oil in your pores, along with any dirt. But if you don’t clean it off, it will get stuck right back in the pores, causing more acne. Make sure to run hot water on your skin which opens the pores even more before scrubbing. Then when done run cold water all over your body for a minute, to close the pores back up. You don’t have to wash your hair both 2 times a day, try just keeping it up until the next morning.





Trust me in a week you will definitely see result for this, and its simple, plus a little exercise and fresh air never hurt anyone!|||Yessss, I know what you mean!! I tried everything over the counter even Proactive Solutions it didnt work for me %26amp; made me very dry.


Try Clinique Acne products, go to your local major department store %26amp; consult with an Clinique representive. I really really like it!!


Hope i helped! I know how you feel.|||I would see several doctors and get a variety of knowledge as to how to get the best skin results. I got results naturally taking salmon oil supplements and multivitamins. Garlic oil supplements are excellent as well. I also use SPF 5O at the very least. Eating plenty of vegetables and fruits with whole grains and yogurt has definitely made a serious difference in my skin. Its safer to use spray on tanners instead of damaging your skin. Our skin protects us, so we must protect it!

Get a little sun everyday, like about 10 minutes. Drink more water.|||bio-oil is alright but expensive. Try getting a bottle of vitamin E cream or oil from your local drug store. Usually about 10 dollars a bottle.

Whats is the best product for diminishing scars and blemishes?

i need your help people. i have this black scar like blemish on my face due to a pimple i popped 8 months ago. its been bothering me for a long time and i haven%26#039;t been the same. what is the best product ever for take away scars black mark and blemishes fast, like in weeks? please let me know.|||have you tried using bio-oil? or even differin... its meant for acne, but helps with acne scars.|||It depends on how deep the scar is and how long it has been present. Very deep or cystic acne may produce permanent scars. Likewise, even a small pimple may leave a scar if it became badly infected when you popped it. Generally the best thing to do is to be patient and give time for healing. Protect the area with a sunscreen. Some people recommend using vitamin E ointment. However, there isn%26#039;t any significant scientific proof that this form of treatment is beneficial. Eventually, if you have severe scars, you might want to see a dermatologist and ask about new techniques (such as laser therapy) for scar treatment.|||Spreadign Vitamin E over it several times a week does work pretty well, however if that doesnt work i would get Mederma, i have heard it works really well!|||NOTE鈥 HAVE WRITTEN THIS LONG ANSWER TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS RELATING TO BECAUSE THEY COME UP SO OFTEN:

GOOD LUCK!!!





RECOMMENDED SKIN CARE鈥 use clean and clear cream wash (good for sensitive skin or those that dry to easy) or Neutrogena clear skin make up remover wash. Both contain salicylic acid which prevents breakouts and gradually evens the skin tone out too. This is the most important thing you can do. I鈥檝e tried various 鈥榦il free鈥?鈥檚alicylic acid鈥?moisturisers but the best I鈥檝e found is the clean and clear on鈥 found the Neutrogena one actually seemed to aggravate my skin.





EMERGENCY SPOT TREATMENT!...The toothpaste things works! Put on a blob at night and put a bit of tissue over it so it doesn%26#039;t make a mess. It cools the area down and reduces the inflammation. I also recommend the clean and clear advantage spot treatment gel.





HORMONAL SPOTS鈥ny female with spots I%26#039;d recommend trying dianette or yasmine contraceptive pills because if it%26#039;s hormonal that can sort everything out within weeks鈥hough it can take a couple of months to get used to the pill.





FACIAL ACNE: AVOID鈥on%26#039;t use harsh scrubs and peroxide products daily like some people do; that can dry your skin and make produce MORE oil...just exacerbating the problem. Many face packs I鈥檝e tried and those blackhead removal strips too seem to have caused problems.





I鈥檝e also had problems with those 鈥榝acial wipes鈥?made by clean and clear and Neutrogena because they鈥檙e too drying and when the top layer鈥檚 too dry, the oil gets stuck underneath and causes more problems!





Some say chocolate doesn鈥檛 affect it鈥t does for me and I don鈥檛 know how or why that should be but certain foods do seem to affect break out. Coffee is one of those things that seems to aggravate my skin too. So look out for anything you eat that might be making it worse.





HAIR PRODUCTS鈥e careful what products you use in your hair if it%26#039;s long - certain conditioners have causes me to break out at times. Also be careful of hair gels, hair sprays and serums.





INGROWING HAIRS鈥or men or women鈥f you have oily skin, these are more likely. For men鈥se a facial scrub and avoid moisturisers that don鈥檛 have salicylic acid in them if you use a moisturiser. Some hair conditioners are much better lubricants than shaving cream too 鈥?so you might want to try that, and then was afterwards with a clean and clear was etc. Also I recommend the microdermabrasion kit mentioned later.





For women鈥axing seems to cause the main problem 鈥?we pay most attention to our faces. Waxing seems to be the main culprit as opposed to shaving or hair removal creams鈥o avoid in-growing hairs, make sure to exfoliate. I recommend using those exfoliating gloves 鈥?that way, you can use any kind of shower gel.





NUTRITION鈥 recommend taking a 100% multi vitamin/mineral complex 鈥?those little spots you get around your mouth can be due to a vitamin b deficiency for example. Also I recommend Omega 369 oils every day because they improve blood flow.





OLD WIVES TALE??...It%26#039;s an %26#039;old wives tale%26#039; type remedy - but a spoonful of cider vinegar and honey in hot water 3 times a day is meant to help EVERYTHING. It tastes nice too...kinda like honey and lemon X





HYDRATION鈥?Keep your hydration right by drinking plenty of water, avoiding caffeine and alcohol and too much salt!





DEALING WITH SCARRING鈥here鈥檚 an excellent micro-dermabrasion scrub called 鈥榬e-finish鈥? by L%26#039;oreal. You only use it a couple of times a week (and use at night because it makes your face red!). It really works not just with the colouring but also the texture - smoothes it back out. It comes with it%26#039;s own moisturiser which I don%26#039;t use but I use the scrub at night a couple of times a week and put bio oil on which it supposed to help clear scarring and even skin tone.





If you get your skin relatively under control, try using %26#039;21 days Fade Cream%26#039; (which I get from eBay) because it quickly clears up any scarring. It鈥檚 a skin lightening cream and is very effective as long as your skin type agrees with it. Bio oil is a good alternative!





Also, to detract from the colour variations in your skin tone, I recommend using Benefit鈥檚 Posie Tint or Benetint lipstain 鈥?this can be put on your cheeks and lips (which also makes your teeth look whiter as an added bonus). Lipstain is better than lipstick because it doesn鈥檛 smudge and it stays on; you can put lip balm or lip gloss on over it. Also, if you use it (SPARINGLY) on your cheeks, it is just like putting water on there; it doesn鈥檛 aggravate the skin or cause breakouts.
