Stretch Marks? Here's Exactly How To Get Rid Of Those Ugly Marks! by justbeenpaid(m): 5:47pm On Aug 23, 2015
Several studies have shown that stretch marks are among the top five causes for insecurity in women. During pregnancy, women are at an elevated risk for developing stretch marks, also called striae, because of the rapid and sudden growth of their body.

Stretch marks are formed when underlying tissue grows faster than the skin layers covering it, causing small tears in the epidermal surface. Scar tissue then proceeds to grow in these tears, creating stretch marks.

While some women start showing a tendency of developing stretch marks during puberty, others only experience problems for the first time during a pregnancy.



Apart from pregnancy, one can also develop stretch marks after rapid weight loss and during a rapid increase in weight. The presence of stretch marks on one's body could cause a feeling of discomfort or embarrassment. There are times when you would love to put on a sleeveless top and then you realize that those terrible marks would be pronounced. No matter how hard you try to ignore it, you know it doesn't look good when you sound in front of your mirror naked to look at yourself.



There are hundreds of stretch mark products in the market place but not every one of them delivers as promised. Sometimes you even end up spending over N80,000 for a treatment that wouldn't work at the end of the day. There are natural ways to cure stretch and I would be sharing with you right away:


Potato Juice


Potato juice helps us a lot to get rid of stretch marks. Potato contains starch, a product with emollient properties that soothes the skin. The presence of antioxidants in potatoes helps remove stretch marks. Antioxidants are chemicals that transfer electrons or hydrogen from a substance to an oxidizing agent and they can prevent or slow cell damage.



After the formation, free reactive radicals start a chain reaction which can cause damage or death to a cell. Antioxidants are molecules that can interact with free radicals and terminate the chain reaction before vital molecules are damaged. Potato is a great source of Vitamin C, potassium, thiamine, riboflavin, folate, magnesium, phosphorous, iron and zinc.



Ingredients:

a. Potato – 1 (medium sized)

b. Lukewarm water

c. Knife


At first cut a potato into thick sized slices. Rub the slices gently over the stretch marks. Leave it for 5-10 minutes and thereafter wash off with lukewarm water.



Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is one of the most well known remedies for stretch marks. Aloe Vera leaves secrete a clear gel when broken off from the rest of the plant that can be applied to heal wounds and it also contains plant collagen which immensely helps repair the skin. Collagen is one of the most important proteins that make our skin elastic, supple and youthful. Collagen is really beneficial to the skin as they help to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, reverse age of skin, tighter skin, plump up skin and also improve the elasticity of skin.


Ingredients:

a. Aloe Vera leaf

b. water

Remove the outer layer of the aloe vera leaf and bring out the sticky gel from the inside of the leaf. Then use the gel on stretch marks and
wash off with water after two or three hours.



Egg White

Egg white is one of the best known home remedies for skin. It is rich in Vitamin A and collagen. Collagen is the main structural and the most abundant protein found in animal connective tissue and contains specific amino acids like glycine, praline, hydroxyproline and arginine. As it gives our skin firmness, suppleness and helps in the constant renewal of skin cells, it is really essential for our skin.

Ingredients:

a. Egg -1

b. Water

Take out the egg white by separating the yolk from the egg. Stir the egg white and apply it on the stretch marks. Leave it for 15 minutes and there after wash off with water.
