Home Remedies for Stretch Marks



Stretch Mark Creme
1/2 cup cocoa butter 2 Tablespoons wheat germ oil 2 teaspoons sesame seed oil (light) 1 teaspoon apricot kernel oil 2 teaspoons vitamin E oil 4 teaspoons beeswax (Makes 6 ounces) Grate beeswax to make it easier to melt. Mix all these ingredients in a pan and heat gently until cocoa butter and beeswax melt. Remove from heat and let it cool before applying it lavishly to your thighs, buttocks, abs, lower back, and upper arms. Massage it in for an even better effect. When you stimulate the skin’s circulation you are feeding it with more nutrients and decreasing cellulite and stretch marks. Do this daily. Protect creme by keeping it in a covered jar.
A treatment you can do at home is skin brushing. To prevent stretch marks, vigorously massage with a skin brush or loofah during your shower. If you already have stretch marks, then apply vitamin E or any 100% pure oil to skin first. Then brush using gentle to medium strength circular strokes to affected areas. You will be assisting the stretch marks heal faster while decreasing cellulite.
If you’re in a hurry, simply soften your skin with shea butter. This hypoallergenic moisturizer smoothens remarkably. If you apply it consistently, you will find that you hardly notice the stretch marks. Every person’s genetics are different so the time it takes to work will vary. Age and diet are another factor that facilitate healing.
