Find out which essential oils are best for reducing the appearance of scars and how to use them. Plus, the best roller bottle blend for scars and a free printable label.
A scar is a mark left on the skin or within the body tissue. It is where a wound, burn, or sore has not healed completely, and thick tissue has developed.
Scars aren’t much of a problem but can be very annoying, especially if the scar is in a visible place, like the face. Just the other day, my daughter got hurt and had a big cut on her forehead. My first thought was, I hope this doesn’t scar! I immediately started applying essential oils that can help reduce blemishes, skin imperfections, and scars.
This roller bottle blend can be used for new or old scars. It will help reduce the appearance of scars and even out skin tone.

HOW TO USE THE SCAR ROLLER BOTTLE
The key to using essential oils or any natural remedy is consistency. Applying this blend often is very important. After I had a mole removed, I used a similar blend to this (it was before I had yarrow) to help with the scarring. I kept the roller bottle in my back pocket and applied it to the area every 30 minutes.
Apply often

Hello,
Where do you buy Yarrow EO? My regular carriers don’t care the oil, just the extract or powder. Can you make your own from one of these?
