Natural Ways To Getting Rid Of STRETCH MARKs.

While some people believe that Stretch marks can occur when one adds weight, most times it doesn't. Most times too it happen during
pregnancy or rapid weight-gain (for some people). But some don't have it at all.
Most pregnant women will get stretch marks around their abdomen, hips and thighs, and
unfortunately, I think stretch marks are genetic
so you might end up with it too. But don't worry. There are natural ways you can get rid of them. I found this and thought I should share.

Ways Of Managing Stretch Marks:

*Potato Juice*
Cut a medium-sized potato into thick slices and rub it gently on the
stretch marks for a few minutes and make sure
the liquid from the potato covers the affected
area. After the potato juice has dried for some
time you should then wash it off with warm
water.

*Sugar scrub*
White sugar is one of the best natural remedies
to get rid of stretch marks. You can use the
sugar to exfoliate your skin. Take a tablespoon
of raw sugar and mix it with some almond oil
and add a few drops of lemon juice. Mix it well
and apply it on the stretch marks and other
skin areas. Rub this mixture on the skin for at least 10 minutes every day before taking a
shower and you should do this for a month or
so and watch your stretch marks go.

*Aloe Vera*
You all know that aloe vera is effective in the
treatment of many skin problems. It has
various essential nutrients and active
compounds that can be used in getting rid of
dark spots, its healing and soothing properties
can be used to get rid of stretch marks. You
should directly rub aloe vera gel on the
affected skin area, leave it on for a few
minutes and then rinse the skin with lukewarm
water.

*Water*
We all know the abundance of benefits you can get from just drinking water adequately daily.
It also helps to protect the skin from many
kinds of problems. Well hydrated skin results
in regular detoxification of skin pores and
restores elasticity, which will help a lot in
getting rid of stretch marks. You should drink
one to two glasses of water several times
during a day.

*Use of Moisturizers*
This is a very simple concept especially to
prevent your stretch marks from increasing.
Like the name, they are formed when our skin
is stretched so if those areas are well
moisturized then the skin can stretch without
getting damaged. Try and use your lotion well
before leaving the house everyday.

*Lemon juice*
The benefits of lemon cannot be over emphasized. Lemon juice helps heal and reduce stretch
marks. Rub fresh lemon juice gently onto
the stretch marks. Leave it on your skin for at least 10
minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.

*Castor Oil*
Castor oil has been used to treat skin problems such as wrinkles, age spots, moles, dark spots and pimples, it can also be used to get rid of stretch marks. Apply some castor oil to the stretch marks and gently massage the area in circular motions for 5 to 10 minutes. Wrap the area with a thin, cotton cloth. Using a hot water bottle or a heating pad, apply some heat to the affected area for at least a half an hour. Repeat this process daily for a minimum of one month to notice positive results.

*Olive oil*
Rub pure olive oil into the affected skin area.
This will improve the blood circulation and
reduce the stretch marks to a great extent. You
should the leave it for half an hour so that the
vitamins A, D and E present in the oil are
absorbed by the skin.

*Egg whites*
Eggs are a rich source of protein but you want
to use only the egg whites, which contain amino acids and proteins for your stretch marks. Whip the whites of two eggs gently with a spoon.
Clean the affected skin area with water and
then apply a thick layer of egg whites with a
makeup brush. After the whites have dried
completely you can then rinse with water. After
this you can use your lotion or olive oil to keep
the areas moisturized.
