NATURAL HOME REMEDIES FOR STRETCH MARKS
 

With a sudden gain in weight fine lines are formed on the body and these lines are called stretch marks. During puberty it is the normal thing that happens in many girls and boys. In the medical term it is known as striae gravidarum.

Causes of Stretch Marks
The various causes of stretch marks are:
  • Pregnancy
  • Gain in weight or weight loss
  • Rapid growth especially in adolescents
  • Change in physical conditions
Home Remedies for Stretch Marks

Application of vitamin K cream is also beneficial in the treatment of stretch marks. The foods containing vitamin K can also be included in the diet and they are green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, liver and dairy products.

Applying lavender oil on the marks thrice a day will fade up the marks soon. This is one of the simple and good home remedies for stretch marks.

Application of Aloe Vera gel or vitamin E also helps to cure stretch marks and is also good home remedy for stretch marks.

Application of Vaseline intensive care lotion on the stomach during pregnancy helps in the prevention of stretch marks.

Application of cocoa butter during pregnancy helps in the prevention of stretch marks.

Eating good amounts of seeds and nuts that contain zinc prevent stretch marks.

Prepare a solution by adding one ounce of carrier oil ( you can use avocado, sweet almond, jojoba, because they are the best ) with seven drops of lavender and some drops of chamomile. Apply this on the affected areas. This is another effective home remedy for stretch marks.

Regular exercises tones the muscles and keep them firm. Thus, avoiding stretch marks.

Mix ingredients of 1/2-cup olive oil, 1/4-cup aloe Vera gel, liquid from 6 capsules of Vitamin E, liquid from 4 capsules of Vitamin A in a blender. After that store the mixture in the fridge and apply this mixture externally all over the places where the stretch marks commonly appear. This is one of the good home remedies for stretch marks.

Massaging the body with aroma oil also reduces the chances of stretch marks.

Rubbing the area with apricot scrub fades the marks in a short duration. This is also good home remedy for stretch marks.

PLEASE HELPPP!

Baby oil, mixed with cocoa butter lotion. It helps with itchy dry skin, which is more prone to stretch marks than well oiled skin.

I got stretch marks from the same thing as many of you, growing up too fast.
someone suggested to simply use heavy moisture lotions like Nivea, St Ives, or generic cocoa butter to keep my skin hydrated throughout the day (nothing cheap or watered down like Suave). Using the lotion on a daily basis can help keep your skin hydrated (also the obvious--eating healthy and drinking lots of water) helps you skin adjust to changes like stretching and growing.

i'm studying to become a massage therapist, massage can help, and with cellulite. massage in the direction of your heart (going away isn't so good for your blood flow). keeping the area moisturized is good--like oils (olive, jojoba, almond, grapeseed, etc.) i personally don't like mineral/baby oil because there's a bunch of crap in them (fragrances can help dry out the skin) or vaseline--patroleum jelly supposedly does moisturize the skin, but makes it so it is "reliant" on it, getting dry when you don't use it. i just prefer more natural, organic stuff, makes me feel a little happier. well, massage in general is good for you...helps to get rid of toxins and all that jazz...one might want to try drybrushing. look it up if you don't know what it is.
i'm currently using a vitamin K creme, and it works pretty well...i've used it before, but haven't in a loooong time. i bought it at Marshalls, i think.
don't worry, previous 15 year old poster--stretch marks aren't the end of the world, men will still adore you with them. i've had plenty of men think i'm awesome, and i've had stretch marks (mostly on my love handles/sides) since i was 10-11 years old.
i'm guessing the lemon because of its acidity--gets rid of the excess dry, flaky skin, which can help fade the stretch marks.
so, through experience--slough off the dead skin, and massage a moisturizer in.

exfoliator: mix sea salt (smaller stuff) with any kind of natural oil you want/not allergic to (sunflower, olive, vitamin e, etc.) so you can make a oily paste to massage on in the shower. it's very good for your skin!
