Self-conscious may be shameful or embarrassed. You might think of being confident as the opposite of self-conscious.
"I'm feeling really self-conscious about the way my hair looks today."
Self-aware is more introspective and doesn't have as much of a connotation with shame. Self-awareness is critical for growth and developing wisdom and maturity.
"I tend to be very self-aware. I can notice all of my feelings without having to act on them."
I suppose you MIGHT use it in the context of self-conscious, but not very often.
Let me know if I can clarify more.
