    Default Concealing cigarette burns

    i have several cigarette burn scars on my arm. i don't want to get into whys or anything, but i never minded them before. i just used dermablend and the darkness of the club would hide them, but recently i started modeling, and although with the kind of messy art shoots i do the photographers don't mind, i want to branch into other work and dont want the people i work with to notice. i saw something really useful in a sugar daddy thread about scars but i cant find it...it had something to do with latex i think. help?

    A good photographer is going to notice every flaw you have regardless of whether or not you try to cover it.
    Covering them in any form of makeup/liquid latex is just going to make a BIGGER area that photographers have to fix in photoshop.

    I know you were looking for ways to cover it, but fading them in the first place might help... have you tried BioOil? I used this for a surgery scar i had on my arm and it was insane how much it helped.

    I know taping a piece of cotton soaked in apple cider vinegar overnight a few nights in a row actually eats away at moles and makes them fall off. I've never tried it with scars, but I've personally wondered if it would be affective on round scars because the vinegar actually makes the skin die, a scab forms, and new skin comes up. Sometimes the mole comes back slowly (I actually did this on a facial mole before and it made it 30% of it's size and flat and the skin around it looked normal after the scab healed up. Granted, it grew back a couple years later but no worse than before.

    So I know that's slightly off topic but I have a slightly raised semi-circular scar and I was thinking about trying this because really--new skin comes up and then you can treat that new skin really diligently with vitamin e oil and the like. But tht's only my hypothesis.

    Someone told me Scar Away helps, but I haven't tried it yet. I'll definitely look into BioOil, thanks

    ScarAway is a waste of time. My mom was using it and it kept falling off. Airbrushing does wonders to conceal scars.

    This. Mederma will help over time though.
