Females are less likely to have back stretch marks than male body builders who are bulking up.
These guys will sometimes find the scars on their back after making substantial gains.
There are a variety of ways to treat & get rid of back stretch marks -- 9 of them are listed below.
While these methods can be used to get rid of the ones on your back; feel free to use them for other regions as well.
1.
Easy Exfoliation Methods - Exfoliation of the skin is an effective natural way to treat and get rid of these nasty scars, particularly in areas like the back where the skin is thick and strong.
Exfoliation is the process of removing a thin layer of skin from the body in order to cleanse it thoroughly of dead skin cells and detritus.
In a nutshell, exfoliation helps to remove the scar tissue and reduce their visibility.
Exfoliation methods done twice a day over a period of time will eventually eliminate the stretch mark scars.
Exfoliation should be done with a cleanser that is somewhat abrasive like salt or baking soda; or one that has exfoliating properties like tea tree oil or alpha hydroxy acid.
2.
Simple Massage Techniques - Massage is another excellent way to deal with back stretch marks.
The pressure exerted by the masseuse during the treatment is beneficial in breaking up scar tissue.
The massaging action also helps to stimulate circulation and blood flow and that encourages the delivery of nutrients to the skin so that it is more capable of repairing and protecting itself.
Massage treatments can be done at home with the right massage tool or by a trained professional if you don't mind spending a little extra money.
3.
Gentle Stretching Exercises - Gentle stretching exercises can also help to break up and reduce stretch marks on your back.
These must be done daily for a number of weeks before seeing results.
4.
Smart Diet Changes - A nutritious diet (fruits, veggies, whole grain, lean meats, fish, etc.
) is a good holistic method to strengthen skin and reduce stretch mark visibility.
By making sure that the body has the skin helping nutrients that are needed, your skin will stay healthy, supple, and flexible.
5.
Powerful Skin Supplements - To give the skin that extra boost it needs to fight off stretch marks, a daily nutritional supplement is a good idea.
Vitamins E, K, C, & A are highly recommended.
6.
Carefree Water Drinking - The skin needs to be well hydrated in order to stay supple and flexible, so it is a good idea to drink lots of water.
Yes, I know this sounds ridiculously easy -- that's because it is.
Having weak, dehydrated skin isn't going to help lessen the visibility of these scars, it's going to intensify them.
7.
Secret Cover Ups - Clothing can be used to quite easily cover up the ones on your back so that they're not noticeable.
Alright, so you're not technically getting rid of them with this method -- but at least you're hiding them from sight, am I right? 8.
Lazy Waiting - Stretch marks in areas like the back will usually fade and then disappear with time.
You know whats great about this strategy? You don't actually have to do anything! Just be sure to use it with other methods! 9.
Super Potent Skin Creams - The best solution for stretch marks on back -- and other locations for that matter -- is to use one of the numerous creams, essential oils or lotions that are widely available.
Such creams can moisturize the skin, act as an exfoliate or rejuvenate the skin with natural body proteins depending on the ingredients.
