how to remove stretch marks
Rub egg whites on your belly.
Time to get icky, eh?
Hopefully it'll be worth it.
The protein in egg whites is purported to be super good for your skin and stretch marks
in particular.
Rub on the stuff three times a day for maximum fading.
Get your spud on with potatoes.
If you've been laying off the carbs, there's a new reason to add potatoes to your grocery
list.
The juices are full of vitamins and minerals that help restore skin cells.
So while you're preparing some rosemary potatoes for your family, steal one and literally rub
it over your stretch marks.
Just hope no one catches you or you'll have some 'plain ' to do.
Use olive oil.
It's high in Vitamin E, which is great for your skin.
If you'd like to keep it for tonight's stir-fry, you can also use straight up vitamin E oil
-- even the stuff infused with lavender, jasmine, and rosemary if you'd like.
As long as it has a high concentration of Vitamin E, you're good to go.
Use sugar.
You've watched HealthsT How to Make a Sugar Scrub, right?
A little sugar, oil, and lemon juice is a great exfoliant for shaving and what else?
Yep, stretch marks, too.
And you'll smell great, too!
For new stretch marks, use tretinoin cream.
This cream works wonders on your body's collagen-rebuilding skills when the stretch marks are brand new.
The only caveat?
Do not use it when you're pregnant.
There could be harmful effects on the fetus -- the jury is still undecided.
Be wary of creams and lotions marketed as a stretch mark-removing miracle.
It's just not true.
While some people may get good results, it's only with utter diligence, the fact that the
skin is hydrated, and quite frankly, sheer luck and lucky genetics.
So before you go shoveling out your pocketbook, think again.
Lounge in lemon juice.
Surely you've heard of lemon juice lessening freckles, and it's the same principle: lemon
juice is a natural bleaching agent.
Because of that, it can help stretch marks fade more quickly.
Rub in the juices to the affected area and let it dry for about 10 minutes before rinsing
off.
Be sure to do this several times a day for a noticeable effect.
Use shea or cocoa butter.
These two items are super hydrating and can bolster skin regeneration and smoothness.
If used a couple times a day, stretch marks may start fading.
And it may be able to prevent new ones from forming!
Add on aloe vera.
You already knew this stuff was great for sunburn and your skin in general, but it's
also good for stretch marks.
It's nature's super healer -- for results, use it daily.
It's super safe during and after pregnancy, too!
