Ginger has toning and antioxidant properties that can reduce the appearance of hypopigmented scars. Just dab a slice of fresh ginger onto the areas of your skin that are lacking color, and let the juice dry.

Do this beauty routine once or twice a day every day, and you should start to see an improvement in a couple of weeks. Within a few months, your scar will be nearly undetectable.
