Home Remedies to Remove Stretch Marks





鈥ime 鈥?Stretch marks, like all types of scarring fade over time.








鈥etin-A (Tretinoin) 鈥?0.1% Tretinoin creams have been shown to significantly reduce the appearance of stretch marks in a study published in the May 1996 Archives of Dermatology. See your doctor for a prescription. These creams work best when used on fresh stretch marks. WARNING: Do not use tretinoin treatments if you are pregnant of breast feeding as the active ingredient may be passed to the unborn child or the breast milk.








鈥xfoliate daily 鈥?use a loofah or scrunchy to remove daily.








鈥ic鈥檚 Vapor Rub 鈥?Many people have reported success using Vic鈥檚 Vapor rub by applying it to a washcloth or paper towel and rubbing it forcefully into the scarred skin on a nightly basis for a few weeks.








鈥ncrease Circulation 鈥?by taking hot baths and massaging the areas regularly.








鈥anning 鈥?Go sunbathing! Tanning can diminish and even eliminate minor stretch marks. Be sure to use sun screen. (For information on Tanning, learn the guide to Tanning)








鈥itamin E Gel 鈥?Break open vitamin E capsules and rub the oil into the skin over the stretch marks daily for 2 weeks.








鈥nstretch the skin 鈥?After the skin returns to its normal, unstretched size, stretch marks often become nearly invisible.

鈼ocoa butter

SOME MORE INFO .





1.Start early. Once they pass the initial stage (when they are red, purple, pink, or brown, depending on the color of your skin) and become white or silver (usually with deep indentation), it's far more difficult to minimize them.








2.Massage the area with stretch marks three or four times a day with moisturizers that contain cocoa butter or shea butter as a prime ingredient. This hydrates the skin, making it more pliant. Again, this is most effective in the initial stage.





3.Apply self-tanner. It will help minimize the appearance of stretch marks. Exfoliate beforehand for best results.





4.Educate yourself about topical treatments. Many are advertised to ';repair'; stretch marks, but few have actually been proven to be effective. Here's the scoop on what's available:


[1]Wheat germ oil - may help improve stretch marks in their early phase.


[2]Glycolic acid - increases collagen production; can be administered in higher doses by a dermatologist (costs about $100 USD and requires three or four office visits before you see results); has not been fully studied by itself


[3]Vitamin C - certain formulations might increase collagen production, but they'll only help with early-stage stretch marks; for best results, combine with glycolic acid; taking 500 mg of Vitamin C supplements three times a day may also help


[4]Relastin - the effectiveness of this product is unknown and unverified.


[5]Peptide-containing products - these ';repair'; creams are ineffective; there's no evidence that they work.


[6]Retinoids - they're fairly effective in increasing collagen and elastic production in the early stages, but they should be avoided if you're pregnant or nursing; they're more effective when used in combination with glycolic acid.


[7]Topical tretinoin can lighten stretch marks and reduce their size if applied in the earlier stages.[3] Specifically, tretinoin cream is effective against stretch marks that are less than 6 weeks old, and are still pink or red, but it should not be used during pregnancy. It works by helping to rebuild collagen, but it's not effective against older stretch marks.





And for your CALVES.








Step 1. Use a good exfoliant on the calves where the stretch marks are. You can use a retail product or make your own (such as a sugar scrub). Exfoliants rid the skin of dead cells and make it more receptive to absorbing moisturizers.





Step 2. After thoroughly rinsing the exfoliant from your calves (there should be no grit left on your skin), gently massage a light coat of olive oil all over the calves--not just on the marks.





Step 3. If possible, soak in a warm or hot bath of water with 10 drops of vitamin E oil. Soak in the tub for at least 10 minutes. While in the tub, massage the affected areas of the skin gently to increase circulation and rub in the oils.





Step 4. Any time during the day, at least once, use a body brush to brush the affected areas. You can also use the brush on the entire body as preventive care and for relaxation. You can find body brushes at health food and alternative medicine stores, as well as online.





Step 5. Keep at it. It's very hard to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. You must consistently clean, moisturize and stimulate the area to stimulate healing and improve the appearance.What is a good way to get ride of stretch marks?
Its almost impossible to get rid of stretch marks 100% , almost every woman and some men have them in some place or another,they are normal and nothing to be ashamed of. But the best stuff ive heard of is bio-oil, cocoa butter , Revitol and cosmetyn i'm not sure if they are on sale where you.
Nothing works, once the skin has the stretch marks they never go away -the redness will disappear but you are left with marks with a silver tinge. - Why do you have them? are you gaining weight or are they there because you have lost weight?
Bio Oil is really goood, it gets rid of marks scars and stretch marks. it defintely makes a difference. I use it on my scars and it has defintely reduced it. But u have to be really commited to it like use it 2 3 times a day :)
