Stretch marks are common due to sudden weight gain or loss, pregnancy, obesity, side effects of birth control pills, etc. Stretch marks, especially on the thighs, shoulders, and waist, can make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. Below are some effective ways to treat stretch marks:
Aloe vera cream
In a bowl, add 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel and 1 teaspoon of apricot oil. Mix well until it becomes creamy and transfer it to a convenient-to-use container. Apply it to the stretch marks before going to bed.
Apply nourishing and smoothing oil
Take half a cup of coconut oil and half a cup of castor oil. Massage a small amount of this oil mixture onto the affected area until it is partially absorbed and deeply permeated into the skin. Rinse off the next day after bathing.
Rosewater and castor oil
In a spray bottle, add half a cup of rosewater and 2 teaspoons of castor oil. Shake the spray bottle onto the areas prone to stretch marks, massage, and leave it overnight. Rinse off the next day after bathing.
Shea butter and almond oil
In a bowl, add half a cup of softened shea butter and 1/4 cup of almond oil or coconut oil. Beat until smooth and lightweight. Pour into a convenient-to-use container and use as a body moisturizer or apply to the areas prone to stretch marks before going to bed.
Honey and potato mask
In a bowl, add 1/4 cup of potato juice and 1 teaspoon of honey. Mix and apply this mixture to the affected area with a cotton pad. Leave it on overnight to treat stretch marks.
In addition, establishing a basic skincare routine focusing on moisturizing for the healthiest skin possible is something that women should keep in mind. You should only focus on the basic skincare goal for healthy skin.
You should follow the cleansing, face wash, toner, moisturizing serum and vitamin C, moisturizer, sunscreen sequence. You should choose gentle, moisturizing, soothing products that do not irritate the skin.
In addition, you need to understand that stretch marks are not easy to treat and require persistent time to see improvements on the skin. Be aware that these ingredients are good for the skin, but when pregnant, they can affect the health of the fetus. Furthermore, these are all potent active ingredients and using them during sensitive skin periods while pregnant can cause skin irritation and redness.
The sooner you start treating stretch marks and taking care of your skin, the higher the chance of preventing them from progressing and making them fade away quickly.
