( 7 Jan 2008)

Prevention is better than cure; this saying fits exactly in case of stretch marks. If you don't want stretch marks the only way to avoid them is prevent them.

Try the following remedies to lighten stretch marks -  

  • Apply aloe vera gel or massage vitamin E oil over the stretch marks liberally after taking a shower.


  • Try to maintain your ideal body weight gradually; sudden loss of weight can also cause the development of stretch marks.
  • Apply lavender oil over the stretch marks thrice daily. This is a very effective remedy to fade the stretch marks.
  • Massage coco butter over the stretch marks evenly. This will help stimulate blood flow, even distribution of collagen and lighten the scars.
  • Include vitamin K rich foods in the diet like green leafy vegetables, dairy products, liver and tomatoes. Also apply vitamin K cream on the stretch marks for best results.
  • Be physically fit and exercise regularly to tone your skin muscles and keep them firm.
