Cure Stretch Marks

A cure stretch marks formula or medication has not been made yet, but there are many remedies and methods that can be used to help fade and lessen these marks so they are not as unsightly or disfiguring.

Stretch marks are a result of our skin stretching a lot over a short period, causing fibers and tissues to stretch beyond repair. This causes the scarring that we know as stretch marks, and this is usually a result of pregnancy, extreme obesity and then rapid weight loss, or a growth spurt. It is much easier to prevent stretch marks, because once they form you can lighten them but it is impossible to completely eliminate these scars.

There are cure stretch marks treatments and creams which will lighten and blend these marks into the surrounding skin. This is done at times by adding intense hydration and other essential nutrients that are vital for healthy beautiful skin. There are creams that you can buy or make which can help substantially in this area, and home remedies include creams made in your kitchen or bathroom from things you already have. A natural home remedy that may provide effective treatment is Vicks Vapor Rub, even though this is not what the rub was initially intended for. This will greatly lighten and shrink the stretch marks, minimizing their appearance.

To completely cure stretch marks, you can cover them with cosmetics intended to cover scars and burns. This can help get rid of their appearance completely while the makeup stays on, but this measure is only temporary because once the cream wears off the appearance of the stretch marks will come back. Cocoa butter creams usually work very well to minimize the appearance of stretch marks and lighten them at the same time, plus it leaves your skin well moisturized and silky smooth. Vitamin E is also an excellent treatment for these scars, and it is easily obtained in capsule form. Use a sterile pin to put a hole in the gel capsule and squeeze the oil out onto your skin. Rub the vitamin E into your skin and let it completely absorb. This vitamin provides much needed nutrients to keep your skin well nourished and elastic, and this will also prevent stretch marks, even during pregnancy, especially if used on the skin area daily.
