Brilio.net - Blackened scars are often a concern for many people. Over time the body begins to form scar tissue as part of the healing process. Scar tissue forms when fibroblasts, cells that produce collagen, replace damaged tissue. This process can take months to years, depending on the size and depth of the wound.
When the skin is injured, melanocyte cells can respond by increasing melanin production around the wound area . This can cause scars to become darker and blacker. However, in some cases, scars can develop into hypertrophy or keloids.
Hypertrophy is the buildup of scar tissue that is larger than the size of the original wound, while keloid is the excessive growth of scar tissue beyond the boundaries of the original wound. Both of these conditions tend to be darker in color than the surrounding skin.
There are many ways to overcome the problem of blackened scars , one of the safest ones to try is by using natural ingredients. As shared by a woman via YouTube Channel @alinofficial7673.
In the upload, there is a simple trick to deal with blackened scars. The woman used lime, whole milk, ground turmeric and black coffee to make a natural scrub.
These four ingredients have their own benefits for skin beauty. Limes are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which can help stimulate collagen production in the skin and promote the regeneration of skin cells. Vitamin C also has natural whitening properties that can help lighten scars.
Whole milk contains lactic acid, which has mild exfoliating properties. Well, this lactic acid helps remove dead skin cells and stimulates the regeneration of new skin cells, thereby helping brighten the skin and reducing pigmentation in scars.
Turmeric contains an active compound called curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin has also been shown to have the potential to inhibit melanin production, which can help lighten scars and reduce excess pigmentation.
Black coffee contains caffeine and antioxidants, which can help improve blood circulation and stimulate the regeneration of skin cells. It can help reduce the appearance of scars by promoting faster skin recovery and lightening dark areas.
Those are the benefits of some of the ingredients that you can get. So how do you make a scrub to lighten black scars? Come on, take a look at the tutorial, as briliobeauty.net compiled from the YouTube channel @alinofficial7673, Thursday (18/4).

Lime makes skin moist and free from dryness.
Not only can it brighten, lime is also claimed to be effective in moisturizing dry skin. Reporting from healthline.com, Thursday (18/4) limes are rich in vitamin C, a strong antioxidant that helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Vitamin C also helps stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that provides strength and elasticity to the skin. By increasing collagen production, limes can help repair and renew dry skin.
Limes also have natural cleansing properties that help remove dirt, excess oil, and dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. Cleansing your skin regularly with lemon water or lime juice can help keep your skin clean and prevent clogged pores, which can cause dry skin.
