Knocks, bumps, cuts and scratches are all part of everyday life and they all lead to skin damage, such as a bruise, a scar or inflammation. The body itself is very adept at regenerating itself, but with a bit of help from modern medicine and cosmetics, the body can heal itself that little bit faster with less scarring.
The topical application of cosmetics can play a role in improving, enhancing and accelerating the repair, regeneration and restructuring of the skin. Even after surgery, whether cosmetic or medical, the application of creams, oils and gels can all help the recovery of the skin.
