Do Stretch Mark Creams work ? - 3 Home Remedies You can Try Today
The question that has plagued pregnant woman and bodybuilders for years is do stretch mark creams work? Well that depends on what you expect from a stretch mark cream. In this article I'm going to go over what to expect from a stretch mark cream and also what not to expect. I'm also going to go over a few home remedies that you can try today.
To understand how stretch mark creams work. We must first understand what causes these scars in the first place. Stretch marks occur in the dermis layer of the skin when it doesn't have enough support to create new skin cells. This happens due to a variety of reasons ranging from rapid weight gain to hormonal shifts.
This occurs more often to woman entering puberty or shortly after pregnancy. Also to the surprise of many even men can get these pesky scars. Mostly from weight training and athletes that go though massive body transformations.
As you can imagine there are literally thousands of different home remedies for treating stretch marks out there on the internet. Here are a few of the popular ones that I recommend:
Home Remedies # 1 - mixture of Shea butter/karit'e butter, olive oil, and almond oil.
Use this mixture twice daily, once after you shower in the morning, and then again before you go to bed.
Home Remedies # 2 - vitamin E lotion and aloe Vera.
This one is easier to use and its pretty inexpensive. Wash and exfoliate the area affected. Then after the area dries, rub in the vitamin E lotion. Then wait 15 min in till the greasiness of the oil is fully absorbed before applying the aloha Vera. The aloha Vera adds a nice tightening effect to the skin.
Home Remedies # 3 - Der-ma roller, EMU oil, and Dermology Cream
This one is a little more expensive but it gives great results, first you need to purchase a Der-ma Roller. This is a small device used to exfoliate dead skin cells, They run about 20$. Then the Dermology cream is around $40.
After Showering Use the Der-ma roller for about 10 min, this helps remove a lot of the dead skins cells. Then next rub the Emu Oil onto the affected area. After the Emu Oil has dried apply a thin layer of the Dermology cream on the area.
Now this May be the most expensive of the remedies but it is also the most effective, and its intended for someone with stretch marks larger then 2 Inches in diameter. Check out Remove stretch marks naturally for more information, including Removal cream reviews, and more articles on the Topic.
