How do you get rid of stretch marks with home cures?



Stretch marks are basically scars, and like any scars, it is almost impossible to get rid of them, unless you want to go in for surgery, which is usually not advisable and not really necessary. There are a few home remedies that you can use for stretch marks, but they work very slowly, and with very prominent stretch marks they may not have much effect at all.

Massaging the areas affected by stretch marks is supposed to help the scars fade more quickly; you can massage them daily, using a variety of substances that are good for the skin. Aloe is good for most skin problems, and if possible, you should get fresh aloe gel right off the plant, apply it to your skin, and massage it in. Vitamin E is also good, and is available as an oil that you can use to massage your skin. You can also use cocoa butter, as it is supposed to be particularly good in lightening stretch marks.

You can also exfoliate your skin using a home made scrub of oatmeal and milk. In addition, ensure that your weight does not fluctuate, as these rapid fluctuations are a common cause of stretch marks.
