Have you been looking for safe and natural remedies to lighten Facial Scars? I’ll tell you how these 3 simple home remedies can lighten your scars caused by Acne and Chicken Pox. You don’t have to use all of them, just use one of the 2 Packs and one of the Oils listed below.
Nutmeg and Milk Pack: Nutmeg is a spice which is known for its Medicinal Value. Nutmeg can reduce flatulence, aid digestion, improve the appetite and treat diarrhea, vomiting and nausea. Topical use can lighten scars dramatically.
Mix one tsp. Nutmeg Powder with a pinch of Turmeric Powder (optional but recommended) and one tbsp. Raw Milk(Unboiled milk) and apply this paste on scars everyday. Rinse off after 20 minutes.
Green Peas and Red Sandalwood Pack: Grind some green peas and mix one pinch of Sandalwood Powder , Neem Powder(Optional)and one tsp. Honey. Apply this mixture on scars and rinse off after fifteen minutes.
Vitamin E and Natural Oils: Vitamin E heals and lightens scars caused by Acne, Chicken Pox and Wound. You can mix one tsp. Rosehip Seed Oil with one Vitamin E Gel Capsule and apply on scars. Other Natural Oils that lighten scars are- Calendula(Acne, Wound and Chicken Pox Scars), Tea Tree( Acne Scars), Macadamia Nut Oil(All types of Scars) and Seabuckthorn Oil(Acne Scars).
Note: Tea Tree Oil is an Essential Oil so make sure you mix it with some Carrier Oil before applying.
Scars are not something that will vanish in a week’s time. Be patient and use one or two of these remedies and you’ll soon realize that these remedies really work.

My son has a scar on is upperlip/nose are it has healed but is slightly swollen… a bit like keloid. will the nut meg ang milk help? the scar is not dark… its pinkish.
Hi Katayana, you can use nutmeg and milk on his scar but if that part is swollen I would suggest you see a dermatologist.
Thanks!
is there any substitute for the raw milk? can i use like whole milk or any milk?
Yes Laurie, You can use whole milk, when I said raw milk, I meant unboiled milk.
usually how long will it take for it to show some healing…i know it takes longer than a week of course, but like when should i expect to see some results =)
Hi Laurie, if the scars are fresh they will fade in less than a month but deeper and older scars take a few months to fade.
hi

Hi Azza,
You can try using a mixture of Helichrysum Essential Oil and Rosehip Oil for scars. Mix 5-6 drops Helichrysum oil with 1/2 oz Rosehip Seed oil and apply it everyday until scars fade.
well thank but the only thing is the milk and nutmeg is easiest to get would it work fast if the scars only about a 2 month old
Hi Azza,
Nutmeg and milk recipe also works but its specially good for acne scars. You can try Nutmeg and Milk plus Nosehip and Helichrysum Oil.
thanks for the tips!
I also use ground-up soy mixed with honey and milk as a mask and it brightened my skin and evened out my skin tone and faded some old acne scars~
i have a chickenpox scar that has turned into a keloid. can you prescribe a very simple, easy-to-get recipe for me? im in africa and you dont get many of the oils you mentioned around here. nutmeg and milk are available. any help?
You can use numeg and milk, shea buter is another great ingredient that will soften the scars.
