Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey r/SkincareAddiction!I cut myself for about a year as a teenager, and ten years later, I am still dealing with very obvious scars that won't go away. I usually put mineral oil on my skin when I get out of the shower, but that's about it.I am in a highly competitive professional field, and I do not want co-workers or clients to see my scars. I usually am able to get away with suit jackets. I sometimes cover them up with Dermablend (but the current formula isn't great -- the bottles I have from about four years ago still work much better).Recently, I decided to try to see if I could get my scars to fade. I understand nothing short of plastic surgery can remove scars completely (and even that's a gamble.). Mine are mostly flat and hypopigmented, which is a difficult type of scar to treat. But it seems like something's working.PICTURES (5 pics + montage): http://imgur.com/a/BEwZrI'm wondering if you guys have any good recommendations for products I should use to help fade my scars. They're tons of really small, barely visible lines and then a few bigger ones.I started to use Bio Oil in February. I know this sub thinks is just overpriced oils, but you can get two of the 4.8 fluid ounce jars on Amazon for like $24. And it seems to be helping?I searched a bit on this sub and found a few people recommended an AHA, so I added Paula's Choice 10% AHA Body Exfoliant.Can you guys give me some feedback?Is there better products to use? Should I use a Retinoid? Should I just give up and look into plastic surgery?What do you see happening in the fading process? Am I just imagining that they're getting better?Thanks so much!TL;DR: Used to cut myself, want scars to fade, here's my arm, is it working?
