Stretch marks treatment

After my first pregnancy, I had the ugliest stretch marks on my stomach. (More like snakes) I have tried everything to get rid of them. Some are dark and others have become lighter. Is there anything left that i could do?

Stretch marks treatment 

Stretch marks are a result of sudden expansion of any part of your body. When the skin is stretched to its maximum capacity of elasticity, then it tears and stretch marks appear. They are basically nothing but indicators of torn and stretched skin.


It is important for you to know that there are no permanent solutions available to remove stretch marks from your body, apart from, possibly, cosmetic surgery. If you work on them consistently, you will succeed in lightening them to a large extent. The first thing you can do is to moisturize your skin twice daily, without fail.


Use a moisturizing cream that has a base of cocoa butter for best results. Cocoa butter is supposed to contain enzymes that, when used over a period of time, will gradually have a bleaching effect on your skin. The reason why this is such a highly recommended product for the skin is that the effect of using this particular product is irreversible.

You must try to buy pure vitamin E oil and use this to effectively get rid of your marks as well. It will have to be deeply massaged into your skin on your stretch marks. Alternately, you can also use olive oil for the same purpose. The latter will also help with healing the skin.
