Stretch marks occur in both sexes. But these marks primarily happen during puberty and pregnancy. So, let’s look at some of the natural remedies available to reduce such scars.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil contains vitamin E and K, which rejuvenates skin cells. Oil extracted from Cocos nucifera cannot make older stretch marks go away, but it can dull them if applied on fresh scars.
Almond Oil
In a clinical trial conducted on women who had become pregnant for the first time. Massaging bitter almond oil on the affected areas helped reduce stretch marks’ formation.
Apricot scrub
Apricot seeds are used primarily for exfoliation purposes or the removal of dead and damaged skin. The scrubbing process encourages new skin to generate above the damaged layer. In this way, the stretch marks are also thinned out.
Aloe Vera
Studies have noted that aloe vera has properties that aid in healing skin damage. Aloe vera gel has been found to reduce itching associated with stretch marks.
Argan Oil
A study found that argan oil has anti-aging properties and improves skin elasticity in postmenopausal women. This makes it an effective treatment for scars.
