April 26, 2016Uncategorized

Stretch marks can appear after weight gain, weight loss or pregnancy. There are plenty of lotions, creams, chemical peels and laser surgeries that advertise stretch mark removal. The degree of success largely depends on skin tone, age, sun damage and even diet. Some see stretch marks as a lasting sign of their journey, while others would simply like to lessen their appearance. These natural remedies will help to smooth and fade stretch marks without the risk of chemicals and surgery.

  1. Apply some castor oil to the stretch marks and gently massage the area in circular motions for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Wrap the area with a thin cloth.
  3. Using a hot water bottle or a heating pad, apply gentle heat to the area for up to 30 minutes per day.
  4. Repeat this process daily for at least one month to see results.

  1. Rub fresh lemon juice onto the stretch marks using circular motions.
  2. Allow the juice to soak into the skin for at least 10 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.

  2. Apply the mixture on the stretch marks and gently rub it on the skin for a few minutes before taking a shower.

5. Alfalfa

  2. Massage the paste onto the affected area 2-3 times a day.
  3. Use this method daily for a few weeks to achieve noticeable improvement.

6. Cocoa Butter

Cocoa butter works as an effective natural moisturizer to nourish the skin and reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

  1. Make a mix using 1/2 cup of cocoa butter, 1 teaspoon of wheat germ oil, 2 teaspoons of grated beeswax and 1 teaspoon each of apricot kernel and Vitamin E oil.
  2. Heat the mixture until the beeswax melts.
  3. Store the mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator and apply it to the affected area 2-3 times a day to hydrate the skin.
