Although they can never completely be eliminated, here are 8 must try home remedies that help the unsightly marks fade and lighten to the point you’ll forget they are even there.
1. Olive Oil
Olive oil is one of the most effective stretch mark cures. It is rich in Vitamin A, D & K which helps in skin pigment correction while the oil itself keeps the area properly moisturized
Massaging lukewarm olive oil one to two times daily on the affected area will increase blood circulation to the area and result in noticeably less visible stretch marks over time.
2. Lemon Juice
Lemon juice works wonders on not only acne scars but stretch marks as well. Simply rub some juice on the area and let it sit for at least 10 minutes before rinsing off with water.
You can also mix lemon juice with baking soda for immediate visible results. Mix enough to make a paste, cover the affected area and wrap with plastic wrap for deep penetration. Leave on for 30 minutes to an hour. If done once a day for two weeks, your stretch marks will vanish.
3. Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera gel’s soothing and heeling properties make it quite effective on stretch marks. Scrape or squeeze the gel from the plant and apply directly on the affected areas. Let it sit for 15 minutes and wash off with water.
