7 Great Remedies for Stretch marks – Natural and Powerful

     

Are stretch marks robbing your peace of mind and stealing your confidence?!!!!  Don’t panic.  In fact stretch mark is not a disease.  It is just a natural response of the skin to the stretch.

    Stretch mark is a scar that develops when our skin stretches beyond its normal limit.  These stretch marks appear when your body gains or lose weight suddenly or when the muscles expand through weightlifting, puberty, pregnancy, genetics, etc.   There is a myth that stretch marks are caused because of scratching the skin on itching.  No…it’s not.  When the skin stretches, the collagen and elastin present beneath the skin gets torn and lose its elasticity, hence forming fine silvery stripes or lines on the skin.  This is not harmful to our body, but in fact it gives very awful and ugly appearance.

     Stretch marks can occur on various parts of the body such as shoulders, stomach, thighs, buttocks, hips, lower back, breast, etc.  Though there is no permanent home remedy to get rid of stretch marks but the scars can be lightened to a great extent.
