The different types of scars and their origins
Scars can have various origins, such as injuries, surgeries, skin problems such as acne or trauma, each with specific characteristics requiring a tailored treatment approach:
- Hypertrophic scars: Hypertrophic scars form after an injury or surgery and are characterized by an overproduction of collagen. They are thick and can be red and irritated, usually located on areas of the body under tension, such as the back or shoulders.
- Keloid scars: Similar to hypertrophic scars, they are thicker and more prominent. They can be caused by burns, piercings or tattoos and tend to grow beyond the area of the original injury.
- Acne scars: Acne scars are the result of inflammation caused by acne. They can be superficial, like red or brown spots on the skin, or deeper, like holes in the skin. Acne scars are more common in people with severe or persistent acne.
- Post-operative scars: Post-operative scars are the result of surgery and can vary in size and appearance, depending on the nature of the operation.
- Traumatic scars: Traumatic scars are the result of an injury, such as a cut or burn. They can be superficial or deep, depending on the severity of the injury.
To minimize the risk of scarring, it is important to act quickly and clean the affected area thoroughly to avoid infection and encourage rapid healing. This will prevent unsightly scars and promote the formation of healthy scar tissue.
A 3-step routine to help you fade your scars
- Step 1 : Gently cleanse the skin
The first step to help fade scars is to gently cleanse the skin. Deep cleansing removes impurities, bacteria and dead skin cells that can clog pores and prevent the skin from regenerating properly. It's important to use a gentle cleanser that is appropriate for your skin type to avoid irritation or sensitization. Gentle cleansers are often formulated without soap and harsh chemicals, such as sulfates, which can dry out the skin and make it more prone to scarring.
- Step 2 : Apply an oil to help healing
Facial routine: use a small amount of our Organic Pink Oil Radiance Booster Serum and gently massage your face, avoiding the eye area. We recommend applying it in circular movements to stimulate blood circulation and promote cell regeneration. Enriched with Bio-active Pink Banana, known for its regenerating, nourishing and soothing properties, it helps stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin regeneration.
Body Routine: You can also moisturize your body by applying our Organic Radiance Precious Oil to help improve the appearance of scars. Perfectly adapted to dry skin, it deeply nourishes and moisturizes.
- Step 3 : Moisturize the skin with a cream or lotion
The final step to help fade scars is to moisturize your skin with a cream or lotion suited to your skin type. Moisturizing is important to maintain the health of your skin and help stimulate the cell regeneration process, which can help reduce the appearance of scars.
Also, feel free to combine step 2 with step 3 by adding a few drops of the Booster Serum to your daily moisturizer (face routine) or adding a few drops of the Organic Radiance Precious Oil to your lotion or body lotion (body routine).
Focus on a key ingredient: rose hip oil
Rosehip oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the seeds of the rosehip, a shrub native to South America. Contained in our Organic Pink Oil Radiance Booster Serum, we tell you more about its properties: it is known for its regenerative and nourishing properties for the skin, in particular to help reduce the appearance of scars.
Rosehip oil contains many essential fatty acids, including linoleic acid, which are important for skin health. It is also rich in vitamin A, an antioxidant that helps prevent free radical damage and stimulate cell regeneration. In addition, rosehip oil contains compounds called retinol and carotenoids, which are known to help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. Both of these proteins are important to the structure of the skin and can help reduce the appearance of scars by improving the texture and elasticity of the skin.
Finally, rosehip oil is also an excellent skin nourisher, as it helps to retain naturally occurring moisture and prevent dryness. This is especially important for scars, as hydrated skin tends to regenerate better and heal faster. By using it regularly in a face or body care routine, it can effectively reduce the appearance of scars and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
In short, scars are inevitable, but their appearance can be reduced with natural solutions. It is important to understand the different types of scars, their origins and the treatment approaches that can be used to minimize their appearance. A three-step routine is recommended to reduce the appearance of scars: gently cleanse the skin, apply an oil to help healing and moisturize the skin with a cream or lotion. By adopting a proper skincare routine for the face and body and encouraging the use of ingredients with regenerative and nourishing properties, it is possible to effectively reduce the appearance of scars.
