Removing stretch marks completely often remains a dream of many individuals unless they opt for a surgery. The only way to avoid stretch marks is to prevent them. The following tips may be helpful to lighten your stretch marks.
Home remedy for removing stretch marks -
- First step is to lose weight especially in areas with prominent stretch marks. Remember not to go on any crash diets or to lose too much weight in a short period. Focus for not more than ½ kg weight loss per week.
- Massage vitamin C fluid or vitamin E oil over the skin with marks liberally after taking a shower.
- Prepare stretch marks cream at home by mixing 1 tsp wheat germ oil with 1 tsp apricot kernel oil and 1 tsp vitamin E oil to 2 tsp grated bees wax and ½ cup coco butter. In a pan heat this mixture until the wax and cocoa butter melts. Apply this cream regularly on your stretch marks to lighten them.
- Regular exercise is important to keep your skin muscles toned and reduce excess fat from the body.
- To make your skin soft and smooth keep your body well hydrated. Include lots of water in a day and avoid consumption of tea, coffee, caffeinated drinks and sodas as they can act as diuretic and cause water loss from the body.
