by

Stretch marks can occur anywhere on the body for a variety of reasons. Some people find that they get stretch marks as they gain weight or as they work out and grow bigger muscles. Others do not notice their stretch marks until they have lost a substantial amount of weight. And many women get stretch marks as a natural by-product of being pregnant. But no matter what the reason is for stretch marks, those who have them want to get rid of them.

If you are tired of looking at your unsightly stretch marks, continue reading for some tips that will help you get rid of them at last.

Natural Home Remedies

There are a variety of natural remedies that you can try at home in order to remove stretch marks, but nothing is guaranteed, so you may need to try a few different options if you find that the first one you attempted did not give you the results that you desired.

Cocoa butter is one of the most famous remedies available for stretch marks. You can purchase natural cocoa butter and mix it with vitamin E oil, apricot kernel oil, and wheat germ oil to increase the effectiveness of this tried-and-true remedy. Or you can instead just purchase a lotion that contains high amounts of cocoa butter, along with other beneficial ingredients, such as shea butter, that will help rejuvenate your skin.

Other natural remedies include pure vitamin E oil, aloe vera, lemon juice, and olive oil. Just rub these remedies into the areas of your skin that are affected by stretch marks at least once every day in order to see results.

Microdermabrasion

Using tiny crystals on the surface of the skin, microdermabrasion does a great job of smoothing out the skin and removing everything from acne scars and age spots to stretch marks and wrinkles. Many women, including celebrities, regularly have microdermabrasion treatments done in order to appear more youthful. By getting rid of the layers on the outermost surface of the skin, this method promotes new growth that is healthier and smoother, thereby eliminating older stretch marks that you have been battling with for years.

Laser Therapy

If you have fairly new stretch marks, you can attack them right away with laser therapy at a facility that specialises in stretch mark removal. The laser will rebuild and smooth out the skin by promoting the production of elastin and collagen in the skin. But, again, the stretch marks should be relatively new in order for this treatment to be effective.

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid is a chemical that is applied to the skin in order to purposely wound it in order to promote new growth. This professional method can work on both new and old stretch marks.

Stretch marks are embarrassing, no matter where they are on your body. But because so many people suffer with stretch marks, there are also plenty of remedies that you can try in order to finally eliminate them and get the clear skin you deserve.

Getting Rid of Stretch Marks with Oils, Creams and Surgery

by



The appearance of unsightly stretch marks on your body can really mess with your body image and your self confidence. Most people who have them don’t like to talk about them. But if they do make an appearance, you’ll want to learn as much as possible about their formation and how to get rid of stretch marks.


Why You Get Stretch Marks

When your skin is stretched beyond its limits, such as during pregnancy or periods of excessive weight gain or loss, it loses its elasticity and becomes damaged. The damage takes place in the middle layer of skin, known as the dermis. However, the damage shows up on the top layer of skin, making the stretch marks visible on the surface.

Studies have shown that the processes involved in the formation of stretch marks will also lead to the expansion of your capillaries. This leads to stretch marks that are frequently purple or red. In their early stages of development, they are frequently purple in color. After a while they start to fade and their color turns to white.

One of the easiest and most effective ways to get rid of stretch marks is to use a specially formulated stretch mark cream. These creams contain ingredients such as cocoa butter, vitamin E and lanolin, or various types of oils such as lavender and olive oils. More advanced formulations of stretch mark creams list AHA or Vitamin A among their ingredients.

These products work to improve your skin’s flexibility as well as regenerating skin cells. Just about any one of these creams will minimize the appearance of your scars, in particular those that list cocoa butter among their ingredients.

Another easy way to get rid of stretch marks is by using vitamin E oil, which is particularly effective at treating pregnancy stretch marks. Vitamin E oil helps to keep your skin firm and taut, even during pregnancy.

When you’re trying to select the stretch mark removal cream that will work best for you, there are lots of choices, quite of few of which you can get without a prescription at your local store. There are a number of very effective stretch mark creams that can be bought on the internet.

You can also try various methods including surgery, dermabrasion or laser treatments to eliminate those unsightly stretch marks. You might think that undergoing a surgical procedure to get rid of stretch marks is somewhat drastic, but the truth of the matter is that it’s still one of the most effective means of managing the problem.
