Exfoliating helps remove dead skin and the top layer of our skin, which helps remove scars left behind by acne, injuries, and surgery. There are many commercial exfoliators out there, but many of them are full of chemicals and other ingredients likely to elicit a skin reaction. To avoid this, try making an exfoliator at home. There are countless recipes out there, but perhaps the most popular (and the simplest) is to mix some baking soda and water until they make a paste. 

Then, individuals should apply the paste in circular motions to their face as they would with any other commercial exfoliator or cleanser. Once done, they should rinse with water, pat dry, and apply a daily moisturizer. When beginning this treatment, individuals should start with just once a day to avoid skin reactions. While this is perfect for scars on the face, it can help with other parts of the body as well. Skin needs vitamins to remain healthy.
