Here are some tips that you can benefit from:
1) Massage daily just after you shower and before you go to bed. This is an excellent home remedy to prevent as well as treat stretch marks. You can massage with olive oil, flaxseed oil, vitamin E oil or codliver oil.
2) Exercise daily to tone your muscles and make your skin firm.
3) Consume a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, especially Vitamin C, Vitamin E and zinc. Proteins promote good tissue growth hence make sure you are getting proteins in your diet. This keeps stretch marks at bay. Consult a dietitian for guidance on foods and supplements if you are not getting the nutrients through your diet.
4) Apply cocoa butter and/or elastin cream on your stretch marks. Follow the instructions on the label when applying. Cocoa butter is effective for keeping skin soft and supple but some women are allergic to it. If you are allergic to cocoa butter, avoid it.
5) Try out this really good recipe:
Blend together these ingredients in a mixie.
½ cup virgin olive oil + ¼ cup aloe vera gel + liquid from 6 capsules of Vitamin E + liquid from 4 capsules of Vitamin A
Pour the mixture into a jar and refrigerate. Apply over stretch marks or places where stretch marks are likely to occur such as hips, thighs, breasts and abdomen.
