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 a spiritual existence by uncluttering the mind. Over the years, the use of this essential oil has evolved to eliminating 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.
