Answer
I totally agree with the coconut oil, but first I would use Mederma to get rid of the raised part. The best scar treatment I've used, especially on old raised scars, is to use mederma 3-4 times a day like it says on the package, which majorly brings down the raised part of the scar. On an old scar, this takes about 6-8 weeks. Then you are left with a flattened pink scar, which is where using coconut oil a few times a day for a couple of weeks majorly reduces the pink shininess. I use the Mederma first to flatten the scar, and then I switch to coconut oil to make it blend into the rest of my skin and not be so pink and irridescent. (Trying to use them at the same time doesn't work, either one will make a barrier which won't let the other product touch the area and soak in.)
Mederma you can buy in a tube at target for like 20 bucks and you use a tiny bit each application so it will last for the 6-8 weeks. The coconut oil you can get at any health food store in the skin care department, and also in the baking aisle. (Although I am starting to see it in more and more regular grocery stores too). Honestly coconut oil is so good for your skin that I use it as a daily lotion instead of creams and chemical-filled junk. A little goes a long way, it doesn't stink, and it leaves your skin VERY conditioned (it even cleared up my Keratosis Pilaris on my arms) and has many health benefits. Anyway, I'm going off on a tangent so I'll stop :)
Good luck!

i hardly ever wear makeup like foundation and stuff. my question was meant more for my body.

Most women? Honey put down the glossy magazine, most women have no such thing, and those who do are either blessed with good genes or take very good care of themselves – not to say others don’t take care of themselves!
The bumps, I’ll tell you what that may be something like keratosis pilaris; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keratosis_pilaris This is essentially when your body is making too much keratin which then clogs the pores, you get a whole host of similar conditions where dead skin cells aren’t sloughing off as they should so also clog pores. I would recommend using vinegar cosmetically, even if you don’t have a problem like keratosis pilaris it will still be beneficial because as well as exfoliating the skin to prevent these bumps, it also promotes circulation, regulates skins pH and is antiseptic. To make a simple cosmetic vinegar mix 500ml of apple cider vinegar, 3ml lavender essential oil, 3ml rosemary essential oil, 2ml rosewood essential oil, and 2 tablespoons glycerine, place into a glass bottle, use on your skin at the end of your shower – as it dries the vinegar smell will go. I used to get little bumps and spots all over my arms as a kid, my doctor just told me it was because I wasn't wearing short sleeved tops (I have bad scaring so couldn't wear short sleeves), turned out he was wrong, as soon as I started using vinergar in the shower my arms improved ten fold.
Dry brush, this will stimulate circulation as well as exfoliate the skin, it has many skin benefits including ridding you of cellulite and improving tone and texture of your skin. Do this before going in the bath or shower, using a dry soft natural bristle brush. Start at the soles of your feet and work up your legs, your front and yours back, then move onto your hands and up your arms – the rule is to go towards your heart, it’s also recommended that women don’t brush their breasts, and don’t brush your face. Start off gentle and work up to brushing more vigorously, don’t be harsh as there’s no need to brush your skin raw, just firm but gentle for 5-10 minutes before your bath or shower.
I’m also a strong advocate of oils in all forms and for all the body, eaten of course is good – diet is important, but for the skin they are wonderful. Try using olive oil as a moisturiser, just put some into a spray bottle with a little nice smelling essential oil, maybe some vitamin E or other skin-positive oils like coconut oil, then after your bath or shower, every day, rub your body down with the oil – as well as smelling nice all day this is a wonderful moisturiser, this will improve the condition of your skin, it’s also cheap and not full of nasty chemicals.
I would also recommend going to natural living web sites and communities, such as Make Your Own Cosmetics http://www.makeyourcosmetics.com Pioneer Thinking http://www.pioneerthinking.com and http://community.livejournal.com/naturalliving Natural Living The reason being that as well as being able to offer you natural and cheap skin-care ideas, these people do tend to be better informed about skin and general health, so often you’ll find a lot of very useful information that may be useful to you in improving your skin and general health.
