After all the trauma of developing stretch marks, you must be wondering can you get rid of stretch marks on your skin? It's only natural to want those little nuisances to disappear.
I'll be sharing a few tips with you that most women underestimate or dismiss altogether.
I know that stretch marks can be removed.
It won't be the easiest thing in the world, but it's far from impossible.
One factor that helps in getting rid of stretch marks is health.
In order to be healthy you simply must cut the junk foods out of your diet.
If you really want those scars to heal, you'll listen when I tell you this.
Health has everything to do with how quickly and how efficiently your body can heal itself.
How is your body ever supposed to deal with minor skin injuries like stretch marks when it has bigger things to worry about (like your heart, lungs, other vital organs, etc.
) Stopping any smoking, excess alcohol consumption, all trans-fat consumption (stay away from foods that have any hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils in the ingredients list), excess sodium intake, and excess preservative/chemical intake will help your body with it's healing a great deal.
Instead of harming your body with junks, make sure you're eating enough vegetables, fruits, fiber, healthy oils, and drinking enough water.
Not only will your skin start looking better, but you'll start feeling better.
Living a healthy lifestyle is the first and most critical step to healing stretch marks.
The next are you have to work on is skin care.
This doesn't mean that you have to use lotions.
In fact, I encourage you to get rid of all lotions and stretch mark creams that you probably have lying around.
They don't do anything for most women, especially if your stretch marks are more than a few months old.
Instead, you should take care of your skin with olive oil.
Use olive oil on your stretch marks as often as you can.
This natural oil, unlike lotions, will penetrate deep into your skin and provide unbelievable amounts of moisture.
It might smell a little different from those lotions that most women are used to, but I actually see this as a good thing.
Olive oil doesn't contain any fragrances of perfumes that could irritate and possibly damage your skin.
It doesn't' contain any fillers or preservatives either.
How often can you say that about a stretch mark lotion or cream? The fact is that any vegetable oil is a whole lot healthier for your skin than the cosmetic companies want you to know.
