FADE YOUR SCARS AND STRETCH MARKS WITH HELICHRYSUM. Helichrysum essential oil has a long history stretching back to ancient times when it was used to unlock the possibilities of spiritual existence by uncluttering the mind. Over the years, the use of this essential oil has evolved to eliminate scars of a physical nature rather than soothing spiritual ones. The University of Nigeria conducted a study that showed that rubbing helichrysum essential oil on stretch marks and scars, even old ones, could fade them significantly.
