Natural ways to remove stretch marks

Whether you have just had a baby or you've lost all the weight you've gained in the past, stretch marks are problems which almost everyone, faces at some time or other. While there are numerous products in the market which claim to reduce stretch marks, there are also many natural ways to remove stretch marks.

4 natural commodities which can be used to reduce stretch marks and their ways are:

  1. Potatoes: rubbing potato slices on the area which has stretch marks for a few minutes covers the area with starch. Once the starch is dried and washed with water, this can help reduce stretch marks.
  2. Aloe vera: aloe vera is the foremost solution for almost all skin related problems that we face. Its healing properties cure skin problems, like stretch marks. All you need to do is rub aloe vera gel on the affected area every day for about fifteen minutes and wash off with warm water. Alternatively, mixing aloe vera gel with vitamin e and vitamin oils and then rubbing that on the affected area is also known to be fruitful.
  3. Castor oil: it is also used to a host of skin issues and is a sure shot cure. A little castor oil needs to be gently massaged on the affected area, in a circular motion for about 10 minutes and then wrapping the area with a thin cloth. Apply some heat on the wrapped area for about half an hour for best results. Do this daily.
  4. Hydrate: drink a lot of water and keep your skin hydrated. Well-Hydrated skin is known to be free of all marks. When you drink at least ten glasses of water every day, your body gets regular detox which in turn gets rid of the stretch marks.
