Body scars are a common source of unhappiness for many women. The most prevalent types of body scars are stretch marks. Immune to gender, stretch marks, or striae, can be caused by several body changes such as; pregnancy, puberty, sudden weight gain, or rapid muscle gain. They form a shiny red line on the skin of the abdomen, breasts, thighs, or buttocks that is often lighter than the surrounding skin and is caused by the stretching and weakening of elastic tissues. Eighty percent of pregnant women are affected by stretch marks, making it a common issue.

A large variety of products are available for the treatment and prevention of stretch marks. Several of them contain strong chemicals that some people, especially pregnant women, should stay away from. Due to the fact that these lotions are meant to seep deep into the skin, the best products to handle stretch marks are those containing natural products. Below are some of the latest natural trends for stretch marks.

Natural Stretch Marks Remedies

Emu Oil:

One of the latests trends in stretch mark treatments is Emu oil. This oil is obtained from the fat of the Emu, a bird native to Australia. It has been used for thousands of years by the Australian aborigines for the treatment of burns, wounds, bruises, and as a pain reliever for bone, muscle, and joint disorders. It is approximately 70% unsaturated fatty acids including oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid. This oil can deeply penetrate the upper dermis, making it a great moisturizer. Due to the fact Emu oil contains high concentrations of Oleic acids, it stimulates new skin cell growth quickly and aids in the repair of stretch marks.

Cocoa Butter:

Another common natural way to fight stretch marks is organic cocoa butter. Also known as theobroma oil or theobroma cacao, cocoa butter is derived from cocoa beans or chocolate beans. The beans are ground into chocolate liquor and pressed to separate the cocoa butter from the cocoa solids. Go ahead and add milk and sugar to get chocolate, but the fat from the beans can be used as a great moisturizer. Because of the low melting point of cocoa butter, it easily melts at body temperature and penetrates deep into the skin, preventing stretch marks. It also contains a natural antioxidant which helps in erasing existing stretch marks. It is used in several natural skin care lotions because of its skin healing benefits.

Vitamin E:

Another common way to fight stretch marks is Vitamin E. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties. An antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of body cells, which can produce detrimental free radicals and cell damage. As a result, Vitamin E can prevent cell damage and help to repair scarring. The method is to take Vitamin E oil capsules, poke a hole in them, and rub the oil into your stretch marks after shower. Apply it until the oil is absorbed into the skin.
