Stretch marks…every girls’ enemy. How can someone permanently clear off stretch marks without still having traces or coming back?
Argan oil. Vitamin E enriched Argan Oil increases the elasticity of skin and rubbing it on the stretch marks might heal the broken tissues gradually making the marks fade.
Lemon juice. Lemon juice is known for its natural bleaching properties, so it helps reduce the visibility effectively. Use fresh lemon juice daily or simply rub a sliced lemon juice wedge on your marks to see results.
Egg white. High in proteins and amino acids, egg white is a super food for the skin. When applied on stretch marks, egg white will help lighten the marks while also tightening the skin.
Potato juice. Potatoes contain starch and other skin lighting enzymes which is why they are often used to lighten dark circles, spots and blemishes fro the skin. It bleaches the skin and effectively reduces the visibility of stretch marks when applied regularly.
Olive oil. Rich in moisturising properties, olive oil is full of antioxidant and other nutrients that are exceptionally good for repairing skin damage. Application of cold pressed olive oil on stretch marks will help them fade over time.
Sugar. Mix sugar, olive oil, and lemon juice and mix to form a scrub. Apply it to the stretch marks and rub it in for 10 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water.
Castor oil. Apply castor oil directly on the stretch marks and massage it in a circular motion for 15–20 minutes. After massaging, cover the area with thin cotton cloth and apply some heat using a heating pad. For best results. do this as often as you can for a month.
Aloe vera gel. Remove the outer layer of the aloe vera leaf and take out the sticky gel from the inside of the leaf. Use this aloe vera gel on stretch marks and wash off with water after 2–3 hours.
You can’t get rid of stretch marks completely. Stretch marks are caused by the breakage of collagen and elastin in the dermis, usually by a stage of rapid growth or weight gain. You cannot repair those broken structural skin elements. The purple/pink/red discoloration suggests that the stretch marks are newer and have some inflammation and vascularity. The white stretch marks are older and more scar-like. The redness will fade over time. This process can be sped up with topical retinoids and lasers that can target red pigment. You cannot rebuild elastin in the skin. You can stimulate new collagen growth with topical retinoids, deep microneedling, Fraxel laser, but it requires many treatments. The marks will not disappear completely.
Topical moisturizers, like cocoa butter and Bio-Oil will not rebuild the broken collagen or stimulate new growth, but they will moisturize the skin, so that it is less inflamed, may help speed the fading of the redness, and make it feel more smooth and supple.
