Get Rid of Stretch Marks

The process of getting rid of stretch marks will be long, potentially expensive and probably experimental. Since each body is slightly different, what works on one person may not work on another. Some people swear by a certain cocoa butter brand or an anti stretch mark cream, while others chalk up their wasted dollars to experience. Hey, at least they tried! Others undergo multiple (painless) laser or light therapy treatments in their quest for that perfect skin. Extreme cases can even opt for the tummy tuck surgery or skin re-sectioning! The starting point for therapy should always be the realization that the scars may never entirely go away, but the appearance of stretch marks can at least be diminished to the level that you won’t even think of them on a daily basis anymore.

For the “all-naturals,” there are a few home remedies that are viable stretch mark treatments. The first, of course, is time. Most, if not all stretch marks will turn from an inflamed reddish-purple to a slight silvery-white scar over time. Using a daily exfoliating loofah, taking hot baths or applying vitamin E lotion in a circular massage works to combat the stretchmarks by improving circulation, thereby stimulating collagen production and healing. Often, when an individual attempts some moderate exercise, the skin will work back to its original health again, leaving the marks barely visible. Eating a balanced diet full of vitamin A, E and C, as well as zinc and selenium will help the skin get all of the nourishing elements it needs to rejuvenate naturally, as well as drinking eight glasses of water each day.

Additionally, for those who are not pregnant or breast feeding, Retin-A, a type of Tretinoin cream, can reduce the appearance of stretch marks or work toward getting rid of stretch marks in some cases. StriVectin and Trilastin are two other popular brands for skin rejuvenation. Other stretch mark creams contain active ingredients such as cocoa butter, rose hip oil, emu oil, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C, shea butter, jojoba oil or castor oil. The cost of these products range from $5 to over $100 and may be sold over-the-counter or by prescription. It makes sense that re-hydrating the distressed tissues will help you heal quicker.
