How do I get rid of burn marks on the face?!


Question: How do I get rid of burn marks on the face?
I feel so stupid! I heard garlic gets rid of acne (and it does!) so I decided to grate it up and rub some on my face. It got rid of all my small pimples but I had 3 bigger pimples. So I put some garlic on the white part of the bandage and just put them on the pimples. I left them for an hour or so and when I took them off they were fine. The pimples went down, they were still a bit red though. Then I went to bed and when I wake up I had like burn marks on my skin! :(
They are hideous and REALLY noticeable, not even makeup can cover them! How do I get rid of them quick?! Thanks.

There are a few things you can try.

According to the Dr. Oz show on TV, petroleum jelly - simple vaseline - is as good as any other more expensive treatment for scars. So I would give that a try for at least a few months before trying anything more expensive. Nothing works quickly. Whatever you try, you will need to use it for a long time to see any effect.

Apply cocoa butter to the scars. Studies have shown that regular application of cocoa butter helps to fade scars more rapidly than some other creams on the market. Also, look for creams that contain naturally healing ingredients, such as shea butter, jojoba oil, castor oil and rose hip oil.

Try an over-the-counter medication such as Mederma, which is specially designed to treat scars. (Any cream that is designed to get rid of scars will work.) Healing time generally takes up to six months before any significant improvement will occur.

Talk to your dermatologist about Retin-A topical creams. These creams have been shown to greatly reduce the appearance of scars. Retinal creams encourages cell turnover. The new cells then take the place of older, scarred cells. Retin-A requires a prescription.

Start dermabrasion treatments. A licensed professional will use a dermabrasion device to treat the scars. Tiny crystals on the end of the device essentially buff away the top layers of your skin. With repeated treatments, you will see a noticeable improvement. Expect your skin to be a bit red and irritated after each treatment.

Have a look here. You will find dozens of recipes for homemade skin care products. You will find several that could help you with this. One thing you could try is a simple dermabrasion. Mix a little sugar with some olive oil and rub it into your skin. It should help.
