How To Lose Stretch Marks Naturally
So you can’t afford surgery and your existing stretch marks are becoming almost unbearable for
you or your spouse or anyone else to look at so you hide behind them in full clothing on a hot summer day. There
are ways to reverse stretch marks whether they are already there or you are pregnant and want to keep stretch marks
from occurring at least partially.
Before going any further, you must understand
what causes stretch marks. The most common theory is that the skin is being stretched abnormally fast over a short
period. In women, the most common time for stretch marks to occur is during pregnancy. But it doesn’t only happen
to women during pregnancy. Obesity can cause stretch marks; you can be thin and have stretch marks; body building
can cause stretch marks; as well as growth spurts in teenagers during adolescence…growth spurts can cause severe
stretch marks. Boys tend to get stretch marks on their thighs, buttocks and shoulders. Girls tend to get stretch
marks on their thighs, hips and breasts. Changes in hormones, because it disturbs the collagen levels can cause
stretch marks. So can certain medications; prolonged use of hormone and steroid medications could possibly also be
a culprit in the creation of stretch marks. Off and on dieting can cause stretch marks. So you see, there are a
number of ways for a person to develop these unsightly lines on your body. But is there a home remedy that helps
prevent or reverse stretch marks?
First of all you must understand, to find a sure-fire way to naturally reverse stretch marks
are few and far between and only help a select few, there are home remedies to reverse stretch marks so they are
not too unbearable to look at or live with. But again, keep in mind, these home methods have not scientifically
been proven to completely reverse stretch marks and I can’t point it out any clearer….IT DOESN’T HELP EVERYONE! In
fact, it helps fewer than more, but it’s a start.
There have been many herbalists and naturalist practitioners who recommend such products as
Cocoa Butter for not only the prevention of stretch marks, but also the treatment, or reversal of stretch marks. A
popular way for the prevention or reversal of stretch marks for centuries has been Cocoa Butter. It is rich in
vitamin E and is naturally rich; but again, it doesn’t work for all.
Another method that supposedly helps reverse stretch marks is massaging the skin with vitamin
E. Vitamin E, being a powerful anti-oxidant; helps prevent radical damage to the fibers of the skin. Vitamin E has
not been a proven effective way to act as a reverse stretch marks agent, but it may help in preventing them from
either happening or in the least, keep them from developing so drastically.
There are many natural products that are rich in Vitamin E that work as a preventative in
stretch marks, some of them include: Olive Oil; Castor Oil; Aloe Vera; Ground Coffee; Peanut Butter; Turmeric (A
powerful Chinese yellow spice); Beeswax; Citrus Peel; Lavender Oil, or even Grape seed Oil. Again, these methods
have been used for centuries, but they don’t guarantee the reverse of stretch marks, but may go a long way in
preventing them.
One way in helping prevent stretch marks from forming, and it’s important to follow a tight
regiment, is to keep a balanced diet that is rich in vitamins (especially vitamin C and vitamin E) and minerals
which are needed to keep the skin healthy and free of stretch marks.
There are also many moisturizers on the market today (some work, some don’t) to use on a daily
basis and through the action of messaging these essentials, it keeps the skin supple, it improves circulation; and
by improving circulation, you are helping to heal the skin which, in turn, helps reduce the amount and severity of
stretch marks.
Finally, there is a revolutionary special report that was released to end the pain
stretch marks cause by teaching you how to eliminate them completely. The report explains sure-fire
ways of reversing those ungodly stretch marks that occur in so many different ways. You can find more information about it right here if you're
interested.
