Stretch marks have long been considered a social blemish. It is typically found in women who have just delivered babies, bodybuilders and even adolescents. These stretch marks are generally witnessed around the thighs, buttocks breasts, abdomen and the underarms. When your clothing can cover these stretch marks, they do not lead to any for of social embarrassment. However when they appear in areas such as your forearms, neck or other such areas that are not covered by your clothing then it leads to the person suffering form this condition to become a recluse as he or she is not comfortable with their appearance in front of people. The causes of stretch marks range from metabolic disorders and unhealthy diets to improper and excessively rapid weight loss. There have been a number of remedies suggested to get rid of stretch marks. These include, massages, surgery, moisturizers and many other remedies. However one of the most effective remedies that have been found is the application of oils.
Helping vanishing your marks:
These oils can include your regular coconut oils. When heated gently and brought to room temperature, it should be gently applied onto the areas where the stretch marks are witnessed. This will help to ease out the stretched appearance of the skin by gently evening out the texture of the skin. Another recommended option is the use of medicated oils to help deal with stretch marks. These could include allopathic, homeopathic or Ayurvedic oils. These oils have medicinal properties, which besides evening out the texture of the skin will also help to replace some of the vital nutrients that are lost out due to the development of stretch marks. These oils should be gently massaged into the skin and not forcefully rubbed into the skin as this might result in the skin becoming even more stretched and opening up the pores of the skin unnecessarily.
There are a variety of oils that are available over the Internet as well as your local chemist. However care must be taken to select the right oils and in consultation with your local dermatologist in order to ensure that you benefit maximally from the oil treatment.
