Scars in brief

A scar is your skin's reaction to damage. Over the years, we suffer many of these damages. For example, through a fall, surgery, burn, pregnancy (caesarean section or stretch marks) but also through skin conditions such as chicken pox, acne and even mosquito bites.

There are different types of scars, such as 'flat' (atrophic) or a thickened scar (hypertrophic, keloid). In principle, the treatment to remove or reduce normal, superficial scars is always the same.

Scars also always look different, this depends on the type of skin damage and the condition of your skin.

Age, aggressive ingredients in skin care products and an unhealthy lifestyle can also affect the condition of your skin.

More tips to reduce scars

Scar reduction is a long process that takes place in different phases. Often scars are even the least beautiful after a few months. It takes about a year to two years for scars to fade, or mature. A miracle cure for scars has the most effect within this period!

A few important points to consider when caring for your scar:

1. Keep the skin clean. Actually very logical, but to prevent infections it is important to keep the wound clean. As soon as it is closed, it is best to use a natural cleanser use. It is especially important to avoid irritants such as SLS and perfume.

2. Ensure adequate hydration. To reduce scars, it is essential that your skin gets enough moisture. Hyaluronic acid (as in our best hyaluronic acid serum): is a real powerhouse among moisturizing ingredients. It helps with wound healing and skin repair.

3. Be careful in the sun! It is especially important to protect your scar from UV light in the first two years. Otherwise the scar can become red and irritated. And although rosehip oil is also seen as a miracle cure for pigment spots it has a skin-renewing effect. This means that your skin is extra sensitive to sunlight. So never go into the sun without using at least SPF 30+.
4. Massage, massage and massage. Regular and thorough massaging can reduce most types of scars because you keep the skin supple and ensure the production of new collagen. To do this, take the scar between your thumb and index finger and then make a small circular movement. In some cases, such as after an eyelid correction, massaging is not necessary. Always follow the advice of your attending physician.
5. Avoid stretching the skin. A scar heals best when the skin is not stretched unnecessarily. Therefore, be careful with activities that put unnecessary strain on the skin, especially in the first few weeks after the wound has occurred. With a miracle cure for scars and these tips, you can take the best possible care of your scar so that it matures beautifully. If you are still bothered by your scar, you can consider additional treatment by a plastic surgeon or laser treatment.

Caring for a scar after stitching? Whatever miracle cure for scars you choose, it is important that you only start reducing scars once the wound has completely closed. You can also start with a cream or ointment after this. Discover our best here scar cream.

How to care for scars after acne? In principle, rosehip oil can reduce all types of scars, including acne scars. And yet it is not in our range acne products. Why is that? Rosehip oil is not very practical and also less suitable for skin that is prone to spots and pimples. As a base of the best acne treatment we therefore choose Tea tree oil and lavender oil. Lavender has a soothing, cooling and pain relieving effect. Read more about lavender water against acne here.
