Default Preventing and getting rid of stretch marks

Stretch marks are something which don't disappear easily, well they wont vanish but certainly be lightened. Stretch marks can appear on many different parts of the body such as the stomach, breasts, thighs, upper arms, buttocks and hips, areas which store fat the most.

Preventing Stretch Marks
If your either pregnant or have been putting on weight its recommended to try the good old method of preventing stretch marks by applying some kind of oil, cocoa butter or cream massage.
Out of the oils coconut oil is said to work wonders, and some say olive oil is really good. Apart from this in the cream if there is no cocoa butter then ry any cream which has vitamin E.

Getting Rid of Stretch Marks
If your someone who already has stretch marks, well the good thing is that they will lighten with time, and applying coconut oil once everyday will also help a lot, and you will see a different in a few months.

If your strech marks can easily be seen and are visible then laser treatment is something you can opt for, or even a peel or microdermabrasion.

I heard from someone else too that coconut oil helps to get rid of stretchmarks, think will have to give this one a try, as I have a lot of stretch marks on my upper arms. Thanks

I have used coconut oil in the past for the stretch marks I have from back when I was pregnant. It helped a little but unfortunately they have not completely disappeared.

hi,

take some massage oil and mix up some lavender oil in the massage oil to massage in the stretch mark prone area to get rid off this ensuing problem...

Thanks for the info, I should be more careful in the future. They say that somehow prevention is better than cure.

If you ask your doctor they will provide a lotion to apply on your belly during pregnancy. I used during my pregnancy, i forget that lotion name. I don't get stretch marks after my delivery.
