The Great Scar Experiment, part 2.

After hearing about my surprise overnight scar improvement, my grandma tried my scar combo this morning. Now, I'm not taking care of her wounds, so I'm being told that now that she's started on my daily collagen and electrolytes regimen, her wounds have healed, and she's working on scar management now. Turns out, she was dealing with scabbing that was refusing to come off, and that she thought she'd have to go to wound care to have removed for her. I'm told the minute my moisturizing trio hit the scabs, they started to fall off. They're gone now. One application. Again, no before and after pictures because of the "ew, gross" factor 😅😅

As for my scar, it's doing great. The incision went to the bone, this scar is a part of my body now, I'm not going to heal it like it never happened. But it's way less tight and restrictive on how the skin moves than it was.

To recap my method, I layer from thinnest to thickest:

1. Hyaluronic acid serum

2. Full spectrum Vitamin E oil

3. Raw cocoa butter

Not my image, it was found on Pinterest. I have one quibble with it - cocoa butter nor any butter doesn't add moisture to the hair, it acts as a humectant and locks existing moisture into the hair when applied over wet hair. Quite a few people got in trouble misunderstanding that while growing their hair.

Funny enough, searching images gets a lot about the smell of cocoa butter, which is understandable since it smells amazing, but what's so funny about the raw stuff in particular is that it doesn't have the Palmer's scent that triggers the usual childhood scent memory associations, but it does for some reason trigger the scent memory for me of a particular cocoa scented scratch-and-sniff sticker from the 80's that we'd get in elementary school as rewards for good work. Don't ask.
