Organic Remedies for Stretch Marks and Scars

Sonali Pimpale
The arrival of your little bundle of joy no doubt brings infinite happiness, but nonetheless leaves its mark on your body in the form of stretch marks, and in some cases, C-section scars. Fortunately, for those who turn their noses up at medical or laser treatments, Mother Nature has plenty of resources to deal with these blemishes.

Aloe Vera

Apply natural aloe vera gel, taken directly from the plant leaf, 2-3 times a day to lighten the marks and soothe any burning sensation. If natural aloe is not at hand, go for organic gel from the market, which is transparent in color.

Lemon Juice

The natural acidic and bleaching property of lemons can greatly reduce the visibility of the marks. However bear in mind not to apply lemon juice immediately after your surgery, as it may hinder the healing process.

Oil Massage

Massaging the skin with nourishing oils like olive oil, almond oil, vitamin E oil or coconut oil softens the tissue, improves circulation, and lightens scars and stretch marks.

Potato

With starch content and skin lightning enzymes, simply rubbing a slice of potato on your skin facilitates fading of the marks and enhances skin texture.

Egg White

A powerhouse of proteins and amino acids, applying egg white on the affected area will make the marks less pronounced and bestow your skin with a new life.

Diet

Drinking plenty of water, and having foods rich in Vitamin A (carrots, sweet potatoes), Vitamin C (citrus fruits, broccoli) and Vitamin E (almonds, spinach) will stimulate faster healing of the skin and restore its elasticity.
