Removing stretch marks remains a dream of many people unless they opt for a surgery. It is wise to prevent stretch marks at first place to avoid them. The following tips may be helpful to prevent more stretch marks –
  • Try to lose weight especially in the area where the stretch marks are prominent.


    But avoid going on crash diets or too much weight loss at a time, as it would worsen the condition. Focus for not more than ½ kg weight loss per week.
  • After taking a shower when your skin is still wet, massage vitamin E oil or vitamin C fluid liberally over skin area with stretch marks.


  • Prepare this cream especially for stretch marks. Mix 1 tsp wheat germ oil, 1 tsp apricot kernel oil, 1 tsp vitamin E oil and 2 tsp grated bees wax to ½ cup coco butter. Heat this mixture till bees wax and cocoa butter melt and apply this cream on your stretch marks.
  • Do some toning exercises to firm up your skin muscles especially in those areas of the body that are more prone to stretch marks.
  • Hydration is very important to avoid stretch marks and make your skin soft and smooth. Include lots of water daily and avoid foods like tea, soda, caffeinated drinks and coffee as far as possible.
