Hazelnut oil helps to maintain skin elasticity and firmness.
Helichrysum essential oil is known for its skin-rejuvenating properties. It also has remarkable effects on sensitive and inflamed skin. It works great when used around new wounds, especially when there is also bruising present. It has properties to help the cells regenerate quickly and also will help with pain relief and helps to stop bleeding. Although it works on old scars too, it does its best work on fresh ones.
Neroli and Sage also play important roles in the healing and treatment of scars. Sage is best used for older scars as it is used to break up scar tissue and stimulate regeneration. Sage oil is best for post-pregnancy stretch marks and scarring and should be used in very small amounts in pregnancy.

More about the wonders of Lavender oil:
When a cut or wound is fresh, clean the area with 2 cups of warm water and add 5 drops of Lavender and 2-3 drops of Tea Tree. This will help to clean and disinfect the area. Put another 2 - 3 drops of lavender onto a plaster and apply to the wound. Change this a couple times a day. After the third day, you should be able to leave it uncovered. If not continue for a couple more days.
If you have old scars don't forget it may take between 3 - 6months before you see results.
