scars scars scars... Cocoa butter!! ... I have plenty of them from a rough and tumble fun filled childhood, have about 5 on my face, snow sport accidents, bike accidents, tree climbing... but you have to look real real hard to see them... a nice deep one from a sledding accident as a kid, right in the middle of my cheek even, almost lost an eye there... but still you have to look real hard to see it, a huge one on my shin, that one is a bit big too miss but it isn't discolored or anything, because... my mom taught me years and years ago to use cocoa butter on scars... it really does work. I guess with me in the house she really had to find a solution because her cute little girl was really taking a beating, it probably embarrassed her to go out with me back then otherwise... I actually got a spanking when i did that huge one on my shin they were so tired of taking me in for stitches.

You know the cocoa butter routine right? As raw as you can get, plain unadultered cocoa butter, melt it in a saucepan on low heat, add a tad of sesame oil (has vitamin E, also good for scars) to soften it, then pour that mixture into a little jar to set at room temperature.

I've tried using plain vitamin E and it'll make my wounds turn very bright red, I prefer cocoa butter with just a tad of natural vitamiin E, like you get in sesame oil.

It takes a couple months for a scar to really go away (it never REALLY goes away completely) but if you use it everyday, massage in gently, you are probably the only one who will know about it in a few months.

You can start using it asap, real good to keep the skin there soft and pliable, don't let the scar get hard or raised.
