Shark oil anyone?
 

This week my plaster cast came off so I've started applying shark liver oil to the incision site which is supposed to be brilliant at fading scars.

Anyone else tried it?

Weird ingredients are great. To the repulsion of my friends I apply 'Sheep Placenta Creme' to my face every night - I get it brought over from New Zealand and it's the best moisturiser I have found (and at £6 a tub, way cheaper than Elemis, Clarins and Clinique).

Run out of snake oil? ;)

I've not used shark oil or sheep's placenta but I have used arnica to get me over some bruises / injuries and I think it works :)

Not heard of anyone who`s used it but bio oil is extremely good at minimising scar tissue. Am really interested in the sheep`s placenta tho!

Loads of skin creams used to use human placentas. Some even used aborted foetuses. I don't think either are allowed these days.

What I want to know is, who first discovered that rubbing ground up afterbirth on your skin made you look younger?

I use tea tree oil to help stop wounds getting infected, and I've found it helps them to heal quicker

In my Cycling weekly, there was a feature on Cryogenic chambers being used in the healing of injuries. Intense cold for 3 mins then out into the warm which improved the blood flow to the injury site.

As you work in the London area you could check it out?

I used Emu oil on my leg after an anterior cruciate repair, and can't see the scars.

Rod Hull would be devastated. I think he caused a few scars :D

I did use a Russian face cream that contained human foetus extract. Once I spotted that on the ingredients list I threw it away!
