Home treatment for removal of stretch marks and Tightening sagging skin

Stretch marks are caused when due to a sudden gain and then the sudden loss of the same weight. For example during pregnancy the skin stretches to accommodate the baby and then suddenly has to contract after delivery. In definition they are small tears in the tissue which helps support the skin thus allowing it to stretch.


These stretches are thus formed when there is a separation of collagen from the skin when the tissue tears. There are number of ways in which you can maybe lessen the number of stretch marks an also make them less noticeable but you can cannot make them completely disappear once they do form. The easiest way to reduce stretch marks is to massage them.


This helps stimulate blood flow and hence results in the even distribution of collagen. Therefore the proper distribution helps support the skin better and hence a less noticeable stretch mark. Exercising also helps on reducing the number of stretch you will have in the future as exercise helps tone muscle and keeps the skin firm. Eat a diet that is rich in foods that contain vitamin C or vitamin E. Both these vitamins help tissue growth and thus are beneficial. Another remedy you can try is using a mixture of olive oil and powdered vitamin E on the area where the stretch marks appear.

Sagging skin is pretty much the same as stretch marks and also occurs due to the effects of age on the tissue that holds the skin firm and is a natural part of aging. One remedy that you can use for sagging skin is the application of egg whites to the affected area. Another remedy that is more effective is the application of castor oil. These remedies require a treatment period of at least two weeks in order to e effective. Therefore once you have chosen a suitable remedy make sure to use at least everyday in order to get the best results.
