article: Recent studies have shown promising data with scar creams that contain onion extract when it comes to reducing the height of scar tissue. This product will also work in helping to prevent raised scar tissue if you apply it to a healing tissue injury that you fear may develop a keloid. You can apply lemon juice to darker scars in order to lighten them. Vitamin C is important in normal wound healing, and the high concentration of vitamin C in lemon juice can help lighten scars. Use a cotton ball soaked in lemon juice and apply directly to the scar. Allow the lemon juice to air dry and rinse with warm water. Repeat once a day. Be aware that exposing the lemon-juice treated skin to sunlight may result in bleaching. While most steps described later in this method can be used in conjunction, do not try mixing lemon juice with other remedies. If you want to use other methods that you apply to the scar concurrently, then rinse off the lemon juice and wait two to three hours beforehand. Castor oil has the ability to penetrate deep into the skin and slowly break down scar tissue. In healthy skin cells, it helps to increase circulation and eliminate toxins. To treat keloids, soak a piece of clean cloth in castor oil and press it onto the keloid for an hour or two every day. Alternatively, you can just rub castor oil directly onto the keloid everyday. You may also use castor oil to prevent keloid formation in the first place by applying the oil directly onto cuts or scrapes. This promotes better healing. Aloe vera has been shown to help reduce the appearance of burn scars, and you can safely try it to reduce the appearance of a keloid as well. Aloe vera is an anti-inflammatory herb. The reduction of inflammation, especially during the early stages of scar formation may be important for increasing the elasticity of the new tissue. Researchers believe that green tea may reduce scarring because of its antioxidant activity. Steep a bag of organic green tea in warm water. Use the tea bag directly on the scar three to four times a day for ten or fifteen minutes. You can also soak a cotton towel in green tea, squeeze out the excess, and place over the scar three or four times a day for ten to fifteen minutes. Both vitamins E and D have been used to improve the appearance of scars. For either option, open a liquid caplet of the vitamin, mix the contents with four to five drops of castor oil, and massage the liquid into the skin of the scar three to four times a day. For vitamin E, use a liquid caplet containing 400 IU. For vitamin D, use a liquid caplet that contains up to 2,000 IU. Lavender oil has traditional uses for helping to reduce scars. Mix two to three drops of lavender oil with two tablespoons of castor oil and massage the mix into your scar. Repeat three to four times each day. John's wort and castor oil into the scar. St. John's wort promotes wound healing and has especially been used to reduce scarring from C-sections. Mix two to three drops of the essential oil with two tablespoons of castor oil and massage the ointment into your scar. You can repeat this treatment three to four times daily. Apple cider vinegar (not white vinegar) is commonly recommended to help reduce redness associated with keloid scars. Consistent use may also help reduce the size of scars. Apply the vinegar directly to the scar and allow it to air dry. Rinse the area with warm water after five to ten minutes. You can repeat this process three to four times a day. Honey is a natural moisturizer that has shown some promise in reducing the size of keloids. Apply a thin layer of honey directly to the scar. Massage the honey into the scar for five minutes. Allow it to sit for an hour before rinsing off the honey. Manuka honey or Tualang honey is generally recommended for medicinal use. You can cover the honey with gauze to help prevent it from sticking to clothing. This herb has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for centuries to reduce scarring. Recent studies have indicated that it can reduce the numbers and functions of scar-forming cells. To use the powder, mix half a teaspoon of the powder or one-quarter teaspoon of the concentrated herb with one to two tablespoons of castor oil. Massage the mixture into the scar tissue three to four times a day. You may have to go to a local TCM practitioner in your area to find this herb.

Brown belts work especially well for Steampunk goggles. The older the belt is, the better; consider picking one up from the back of your closet, the thrift shop, or a garage sale. The belt must be thin enough to fit through the strap slots on your goggles. You can also cut your own straps out of leather, but you will need to add your own buckle and punch your own holes. The two outer segments need to be long enough so that you can strap them together while wearing the goggles. Set aside the middle segment and keep the outer two. Slide the end of your first strap down through the left side slot on the goggles. Pull the end through by about 1 inch (2.54 centimeters). You can do this by sewing, using fabric glue, or by hammering in brass, gold, or bronze studs. Sewing and gluing will work best on straps made from thin leather, while hammering in studs will work better on straps made from leather belts. If you choose to sew the straps, be sure to use a thick, waxed thread, and a leather needle. If you choose to glue the straps, you will need to secure them with clips until the glue dries. If you choose to hammer in nail studs, consider getting ones made specifically for leather work; the ones made for fabric may not be tough enough. Add the nose strap if needed. Cut a thin piece of leather or find an old watch band; you can also cut a thin scrap from canvas fabric. Slide both ends of the strap through the slots on the front of the goggles. Secure them using the same method as you did for the back strap; sewing or gluing will work the best, however.
