If you're looking for an easy and budget-friendly way to minimize the appearance of scars, a DIY filler using just three common ingredients - all-purpose flour, Vaseline, and a few drops of your own makeup - might be your new go-to solution. This homemade scar filler gives you control over the consistency and coverage while saving you the expense of professional fillers. Instead of spending hundreds at a clinic, you can achieve a smooth and flawless finish at home.
To create the filler, you'll need to mix a teaspoon of all-purpose flour with about half a teaspoon of Vaseline. Adjust the ratio until you reach a smooth and dough-like texture. Add a few drops of your foundation or concealer to match your skin tone to ensure that it blends seamlessly. The goal is to strive for a creamy consistency: not too thick or crumbly, but firm enough to hold in place once applied.
After mastering your ideal mix, apply the filler by gently pressing it into the scar. You can use your fingers, a small makeup spatula, or, my personal favorite, a flat bristle makeup brush to smooth it out as you go. You'll find that it adheres well to the skin, and fills in indentions and irregularities with ease. For longer-lasting results, set it with a light dusting of translucent powder.
By opting for this method, you'll avoid the cost and hassle of professional treatments, all while getting immediate results. Also, consider you more than likely already have all of ingredients you'll need at home. Plus, it's a quick and cost-effective way to refine or enhance your appearance without breaking the bank!
