Does tanning help heal scars

Answer 1

Answer

I just searched on Google, and it looks like you should use 100% cocoa butter. I also read that Vitamin E helps, and one of the Google Ads mentioned a product called Dermisil. I have been tanning for about a month now, on and off. When I began I had significant noticable scars near my underarms and my waistline, due to a ten pound weight loss/gain fluctuation over a period of a few years.

I use Tone 24 Hour Quick Absorbing Body Lotion moisturizing lotion a quick rub in the am and another in the pm, daily, as it contains cocoa butter as well as Aloe Vera and Papaya (smells delicious --the island mist scent) which is crucial to any tanning endeavor...And while tanning I'm using Australian Gold Crystal 5 dimension bronzing lotion which contains 5 bronzing agents and 21 nutrients (black walnut, DHA, lipobronze yada yada yada) ... So far my stretch mark scars are alot less prominent and my skin looks great- the elasticity and softness has improved.

Sephora sells many bronzing lotions and potions that give you a deep, rich looking tan almost to the point of not noticing scar tissue, which is another great option.

My experience with Mystic Tanning booths was successful as well.

• Note: scars never dissappear unless perhaps you partake in laser therapy but they can be disguised.

Answer 2

If they're a white scar it doesn't help because it's lost it's pigment, they're also much more sensitive to sun rays. However I had a white scare on my arm and was out in the sun and when I got back it appeared to have faded. I don't know why but it helped! White scars are proper scars so in theory are permanent and sun shouldn't help it. You can try if you want but my scars had only been there for about 6 months.
