Bring Back Your Old Self: How to Take Care of Scars

When we encounter an injury, burns or wounds, our body’s natural mechanism is to protect it while it heals. We should be thankful for that but some people are never satisfied of the outcome because of a rough and visible scar. Worry no more because there are specific things that we can go through to make our scarring less conspicuous.

People who experienced a lot tend to remember their horrible moments when they see the scar. It will surely worsen their feelings. If this is the case, we should learn how to lighten if not totally eliminate our scar or the scar of our loved ones to finally be happy. Here’s a list:

Apply a lemon juice

Lemon is a famous remedy for freckles, skin discolorations and scars. Lemon juice is easy to find and it is simple to perform. Look for cotton, immerse it to the lemon juice and dab it to the scar every day. If we can see any improvements over time but we are not that satisfied yet, we need to continue using it.

Apply lotions and creams

Our next hope lies in lotions and creams. We should look for lotions and creams that belong to the family of AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) like Glycolic Acid and Lactic acid. They help exfoliate our skin and eliminate dead skins thereby hastening new skin growth.

If it can’t be helped, it is time to consider chemical peeling

If we are not satisfied with lemon juice and lotions, the last thing that we can consider is chemical peel. This procedure is expensive but very effective when it comes to lightening or even eliminating visible scars. Many sessions are required depending on the degree of the scar. We should ask for a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to be sure.

 

A Secret to Sleeping Well

We feel exhausted and we just want to sleep but sometimes, sleep is elusive. We spend hours in bed trying to sleep but the truth is we are not even close. This is plainly frustrating. If this continues over time, we are dealing with insomnia.

Here’s to blissful sleeping!

Set the sleeping environment

We cannot sleep partly because of our environment. If we don’t like noise, we should at least minimize noises or completely turn off radios, televisions, computer and even cell phones. If we want a dark room, it is imperative to turn off lamps and other lights. More importantly, make sure the bed and pillows are comfortable. Clean beddings can help especially if we can smell that fresh scent.

Establish a sleeping time and stick to it

Yes it is hard to sleep but we can establish a sleeping time and do our best to stick to it no matter how hard it gets. This is important because it will train the body and once the body is accustomed to it, we can surely fall asleep without having difficulties. It is good if we don’t nap during the day.

Of course activities that might stimulate our body is prohibited. Watching TV for instance or reading a book.

Do something that relaxes the body

Eating before going to bed is okay as long as we are not full. We can try massages since it relaxes the body.  Aside from that, we can also try a warm bath. Before going to sleep, it is good if we drink milk or tea but never consider coffee or any drinks with caffeine.

Consult a Doctor

If there are no changes, it is time to seek a doctor. Insomnia may be a symptom of other serious illness so it is better to be safe. They will surely give something that can help us.

Transcending the Norm and Improving Oneself

Late night movies and parties mean one cannot get up early in the morning to do some exercises and just has time for his morning coffee quick breakfast as he is getting late for office. Days and weeks keep on passing like this with no regular lunches and dinners. This kind of a lifestyle is not only and for one’s health but also plays on his mind.
