We all know we get stretch marks when our body rapidly gains weight or lose weight or during pregnancy. Usually, we get stretch marks on our hands or on the buttocks or breast as well. The main area where most of the woman get stretch marks the tummy. Especially, during pregnancy, your tummy becomes big and you tend to get stretch marks. So, here are some of the effective home remedies for stretch marks.
Effective Home Remedies for Stretch Marks
1Castor Oil and Olive Oil
One of the most important key features of castor oil and olive oil is that they are very thick. So, they are going to protect your skin by building a barrier of moisture on your skin. So, what happens is while your skin is stretching, there should be enough moisture present on your skin so that it can actually prevent stretch marks from happening. What you can do is take a bowl and add equal amount of castor and olive oil and mix them well. Apply the oil 3-4 times on your tummy, especially during pregnancy. This will help you calm your belly.
Sometimes when your skin stretches you tend to get that irritating and burning sensation. So, just rub this oil on your belly and it’s going to lock the moisture until you are reapplying on your body. If you are pregnant, apply this oil mixture from the second month of pregnancy. Rub the oil until it dissolves into your skin. Then take a shower after half an hour. This is one of the most effective home remedies for stretch marks.
2Water
Keep your body well hydrated. Drink plenty of water because it helps in protecting your skin from another kind of problems. Also, it aids in detoxification and restores the elasticity of your body. You should drink at least 8-10 glasses of water every day.
3Aloe Vera Gel
You can either use the natural aloe vera leaf and extract the gel or use the Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel. Aloe Vera gel helps to repair the skin by going deep inside it. Take 3 teaspoons of Aloe Vera Gel in a bowl and add 5 vitamin E capsules in it. Vitamin E is amazing for your skin because it is a natural protector and rejuvenate your skin. At the same time, it will also block the ‘free radicals’ of your body.
Free Radicals are actually responsible for the aging process. So, it blocks the free radicals so that your skin can look more youthful and without any wrinkles. Also add 3 capsules of Vitamin A. These capsules are very easily available at all pharmacy shops. Just like vitamin E, vitamin A is amazing for your skin because it is already proven that it helps in reducing wrinkles. It also helps in reducing the brown spots. We usually get a lot of dark spots on our tummy after pregnancy and our tummy shrinks up. At the same time, it is going to help in tightening your skin.
This is the most important aspect when it comes to removing the stretch marks. Mix all the ingredients and rub it wherever you have stretch marks and rub it until this gel is fully absorbed. Keep your skin uncovered so that the gel can absorb very easily. This will go deep into your skin and make sure you keep your skin uncovered for at least 10 minutes. For best results apply two times a day. Within 8 weeks you can see your stretch marks fade away. If you have white or red stretch marks, use the mixture for the longer period to get best results.
4Sugar
Take a bowl and add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Then add 1 teaspoon of almond oil in it. Then add a few drops of lemon juice in it. Note: If you are pregnant, ask your doctor before using this recipe because a pregnant woman is always recommended to use only oils. You can apply this mixture only if you are not pregnant and you have stretch marks. You can also apply this mixture after your pregnancy. Mix the ingredients well until sugar is fully dissolved. Apply this daily on stretch marks and massage this gel for 10-15 minutes. Take a shower and continue to apply this for 1 month for good results.
5Egg White
Eggs are very good for your health as they are a rich source of protein. In order to get rid of stretch marks, you need to use only the egg whites. Egg whites contain good amount of amino acids and proteins which help to remove stretch marks. What you have to do is first take two eggs and gently remove the white portion of the egg with the help of a fork. Then clean the area where you have stretch marks. Apply the layer of egg white using a makeup brush. Allow it to dry and then rinse off with cold water. After that, apply some olive oil in order to keep your skin moisturised. Do this at least for two weeks to get good results. This is one of the effective home remedies for stretch marks.
