Instructions
Step 1
Lose weight (of course, if you are overweight). Losing weight, of course, you need to competently - no more than 3-5 kilograms per month, combining diet and exercise. Shedding those extra pounds will help make stretch marks less noticeable. Of course, while losing weight, pay the most careful attention to maintaining the elasticity and tone of the skin. Nourish it with creams, pamper with masks, wraps, regularly scrub dead cells. By the way, here's a recipe for a great scrub: mix a couple of tablespoons of ground coffee (coarsely ground!) With a spoonful of honey. Rub the mixture over problem areas, then rinse. After use, lubricate the treated parts of the body with an anti-cellulite cream or an essential oil composition (10 grams of olive oil, 10 drops each of fennel, orange, and grapefruit oils).
Step 2
Take special baths to help get rid of stretch marks. The starch bath has proven itself well. Stir 0.5 kg of starch in 3 liters of cold water and pour this mixture into the bath. Take a bath for 15 minutes. Pine extract bath (1 handful) is also an excellent remedy for stretch marks.
Step 3
Lubricate stretch marks with mummy cream daily. Prepare the cream yourself. Technology: Throw 1-2 tablets of mummy into a portion of a regular body cream (if you have capsules, pour their contents into the cream) and wait until the mummy dissolves. This may take a while, stir the cream and apply to areas of stretch marks. You will see the first results in two weeks. By the way, this same recipe will help get rid of thin scars.
Step 4
Another recipe for stretch marks is a mixture of essential oils, which must be rubbed into problem areas every day after a shower. For the mixture, take 2 drops each of frankincense, lavender and neroli (orange blossom) oils and stir. Essential oils can help treat stretch marks on your stomach. Prepare a massage mixture and use to massage your abdomen daily. Mix recipe: For 50 drops of base oil (it is better to take wheat germ oil), take 2 drops of mandarin, neroli, lavender essential oils and mix thoroughly. The massage oil is ready.
