Top oils to use for scars:

This is best when the wound is healing. It is one of the oils with the most powerful antimicrobial benefit, yet very gentle.
2. Manuka oil
Manuka, on the other hand, is great both while healing and after. It helps regenerate new cells while preventing infections in your wounds.
3. Helichrysum oil
This type of oil is rich in antioxidants, which help regenerate damaged skin.
4. Frankincense oil
This helps reduce scarring and inflammation. If you have just undergone surgery and it has left a big scar, you can use this once it’s healed.
5. Vetiver oil
If you want to remove dark spots in acne scarring, use this oil as it promotes skin and tissue regeneration.
Other remedies:
1. Aloe vera
Aloe vera helps in regenerating tissues, healing burns, and reducing scarring.
