You can't get rid of stretch marks with home remedies, only laser will remove them.

stretch marks are caused by breaking of collagen which then heals with a scar.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to be pregnant, fat, or big to get them. As a matter
of fact, it is a very common skin condition, but most people who have
them are embarrassed by them and keep them to themselves - some people
have good genetics and some don't when it comes to skin elasticity.
Tips To Reduce Stretch Marks
The following tips may help you reduce their appearance. Surgery is
always a last resort - following these tips could possibly give you
results, but it does take time. Remember secrets to achieve success
are found in your daily routine.
Massage cocoa butter into the stretch marks - or a cream such as
Barmon Stretchmark Cream with Cocoa butter as one of the ingredients.
Exfoliate your skin with a loofah or skin brush when you shower to
stimulate circulation. Doing this removes the dull skin and the dead
cells in the scars that show as stretch marks.
Massage Vitamin E oil or cream on your stretch marks. Rub it into
your skin after a shower. Products such as Rejuvine includes Vitamin E
as one of their ingredients.
Speak to your doctor about prescribing to tretinoin cream (Retin-A).
What Is Tretinoin?
Tretinoin is used to treat acne and aged, sun damaged skin. A study
in the Archives of Dermatology, May 1996, shows that 0.1% tretinoin
significantly improves the appearance of early stretch marks.
Tretinoin works best on stretch marks that are new or enlarging.
Eat foods high in vitamins A, E, C. Also use supplements in addition
to your diet that supplies you with these vitamins. These vitamins
help form collagen - the supporting fibers in the skin.
Zinc - Eat foods high in this or use a supplement such as ZMA. This
vitamin helps form collagen - the supporting fibers in the skin.
EFA's (Essential Fatty Acids), help make cell walls. Essential fatty
acids can be found in many vegetables, vegetable oils and fish oils.
If you don't regularly eat these try supplementing your diet with
them.
Drink lots of water! Make sure that you keep your skin hydrated!
Laser Surgery has shown to be useful in reducing the appearance of
stretch marks. They seem to work best on stretch marks that are still
fairly new and are red or purple in color.
• A homemade recipe using essential oils can also be used to keep the skin soft, supple, healthy, and free of stretch marks. Mix together seven drops of lavender oil with five drops of chamomile oil and an ounce of carrier oil. Apply this on the area where you have stretch marks to make them lighter.
ReplyDelete• There are some elastin creams that are available commercially. These can be topically applied on the stretch marks to improve skin texture and fade the marks. Cocoa butter is another alternative to such medicinal preparations.
• Another great homemade recipe for removing stretch marks can be made by mixing together half a cup each of extra virgin olive oil and fresh aloe vera gel with the liquid from six capsules each of vitamin E and vitamin A supplements. Once you have mixed all these ingredients, store them in a dark jar and put this in the refrigerator. This oil can be applied all over the skin where you have stretch marks.
• You can make your own homemade remedy for stretch marks by mixing together half a cup of cocoa butter with one part each of wheat germ oil, apricot kernel oil, and vitamin E oil with two teaspoons of grated beeswax. Mix these together till you have an ointment like consistency. If you are allergic to bee venom and bee products, avoid using this remedy.
• Apricot scrub or a natural scrub made from oats can be used to slough off dead cells. Removing the dead skin cells can help you clear the skin, thereby lightening the stretch marks.
here you go, hope this helps you to get rid of stretch marks!
