A stretch mark is a type of scar that develops when our skin stretches or shrinks quickly.
The abrupt change causes the collagen and elastin, which support our skin, to rupture. As the skin heals, the stretch marks may appear.
Here are natural ways to get rid of stretch marks
Aloe vera
The outer layer of the leaf is removed and the inner gel is sliced out to be applied to the stretch marks. This can be washed off after 2-3 hours.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil is used for the removal and lightening of stretch marks by many people. Virgin coconut oil is used to gently massage the area in which they are noticed. One reason why it might work is that coconut oil helps to hydrate the skin deeply, making it more elastic, and allowing it to stretch easily, without leaving scars
Black tea
You can boil a couple of tablespoons of black tea in water and dissolve a little salt in it. You can use this solution to apply on the affected area after it cools down. The preparation is to be applied until the stretch marks completely disappear.
Potato juice
Potatoes are used to lighten dark circles under the eye and are well-known for lightening stretch marks. In fact, potato skin and juice are useful even to reduce scars due to burns. The exact mechanism and mode of action is little to known, but it has been found useful by many people.
