5 Best Ways to Get Rid of Stretch Marks
How to get rid of stretch marks fast and effectively is a question asked by many. Whether you are a new mom, a bodybuilder, a pubescent teenager whose body has changed rapidly, or someone who is dealing with weight issues that may have resulted in stretch marks, this is a pretty common problem. But for anyone who is really conscious about looks and appearance, this can be a very real and troubling issue.
You really don’t have to spend a lots of cash to put stretch marks in your past. You can use the four M’s in how to remove stretch marks to work a minor miracle on your stretch marks. And you can do it fast and easily.
M is for Moisturizing
The first M is for moisturizing. Stretch marks actually occur because of minute breaks in the skin tissues. Dry skin aggravates the problem even more. So you want to be sure to moisturize all the areas of the body where stretch marks are most common-such as the hips and buttocks, tummy and thighs, and upper arms.
Regular use of moisturizers on your body’s skin will improve your skin’s elasticity. So when you experience changes in weight-such as when you build muscles or get pregnant-your skin can stretch more easily without breaking the tissues. When your skin stretches more evenly, you avoid this skin condition.
There are many different creams and lotions you could use to moisturize your skin. You can even create home remedies without difficulty. The important thing is to find one that you like and be sure to apply it regularly. Always apply it after bathing and then apply it a second time each day. During hot, dry weather or climates you should apply it even more often as needed.
If you are purchasing a pre-made moisturizing treatment, look for natural ingredients including Vitamins E, C, and A, aloe vera, grape seed extract, tretinoin, and collagen. You can also create your own home treatments when you need to know how to fade stretch marks. Good ingredients include Vitamin E oil, tea tree oil, shea butter, cocoa butter.
M is for Massaging
The second M is for massaging. This is how you want to apply your moisturizer to your skin. Use gentle circular motions (going in one direction) to massage the moisture into your skin and allow it to penetrate.
Massage also increases the blood flow to your skin. This brings oxygen and nutrients to the areas. As a result, these unsightly lines and other skin imperfections can heal faster.
M is for Moving
The third M stands for moving-and not to a new house. Rather, it refers to the fact that exercise-regular movement-helps delay the effects of aging on your skin in addition to other benefits. Exercise increases blood circulation throughout your body and to your skin. Younger looking, more elastic skin means stretch marks are less evident.
In addition, regular exercise will tone your body’s muscles. As a result, they are also less conspicuous. You’re also much less likely to be bothered by a few marks on your skin if your body is really toned and buff.
M is for Meals
The fourth or final M is for meals. When learning how to fade stretch marks on outside, you also need to make important changes on the inside. A diet rich in green leafy vegetables, fruits, and essential vitamins and minerals means your body is properly nourished and can function at its peak. This also ensures the reproduction of healthy skin cells. So how you eat can affect how your skin looks.
You are the only one who can really make a difference in your stretch marks-in treating and/or preventing them. You’ll need to commit to moisturizing, massaging, and moving your body in addition to eating right at mealtimes. But if you take care of your body and your skin, your body will respond and your stretch marks will disappear!
