alright, i was pretty depressed about the scars on my face so i started to look up a possible solution online. What I found was something called Karite Gold Shea Butter. I was reading the testimonials of it by people who have used it, and i read the story behind the product which was very interesting. here is an excerpt from the site:
Sharon Moore, our founder, developed tremendous respect for the natural healing arts when she lived in various villages in Cameroon, West Africa, observing and learning the nearly magical, yet natural healing practices used there for centuries. At one point, Sharon went to a village in a sparsely populated region of Cameroon to locate a botanical specimen requested by a U.S. researcher. She was amazed to discover that the elderly women of this village had nearly flawless skin with no signs of aging and virtually no wrinkles or blemishes. One day a Catholic Priest stopped by, as the village was in the remotest part of his parish. Sharon asked him if he knew the source of the miracle. He laughed and said, "Oh yes, that is Shea Butter. When I go home to Montreal, I always take several pounds to my mother and sister. Shea Butter is all they use for skin care and my mother looks younger every time I see her!" Sharon immediately began using Shea Butter and experienced a remarkable softening and smoothing of her skin. She decided to form a company to make shea butter available to everyone.
and here is something else:
Because of its amazing skin care and healing properties, shea butter has been used for centuries in parts of Africa; now shea butter is available to the rest of the world. Karite Gold's unrefined Shea Butter formula provides:
Unequalled skin moisturizing
Clinically proven anti-aging properties
Stretch mark prevention and minimization
Protection against inflammations
Rapid healing for burns (minimizes scarring)
Enhanced cell regeneration and capillary circulation (this helps the healing of small wounds, cracks, crevices, and skin ulcers)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ok, so as you can see this stuff seems to be great for a wide variety of skin problems such as acne, dry skin, scarring, and other skin diseases. I ordered it in the "original formula" and i've been using it for about a week. I only put it on once a day and I leave it on for only about a couple of hours. although i've only been using it for a week, i think my scars may be starting to fade. I just thought i would tell you guys in case you're interested!
