Stretch marks also known as striae are a common nuisance as they are clearly visible as pale stripes lying on the skin. While stretch marks are common in pregnancy, they can also occur in people who are building muscles or those that are experiencing hormonal changes.

It is believe that if your mother suffered from stretch marks during her pregnancy, chances are you will to get them too. However, the good news is that these marks will fade away by themselves if something is done.

If you are not satisfied with that then below are five other ways to get rid of stretch marks out of your body permanently.

1. Aloe Vera Gel

Stretch marks appear when the skin lost its elasticity. Aloe Vera plant, with its mysterious ability to cure the tears in the layers of skin is therefore a perfect answer to help the skin regain its natural elasticity. To apply Aloe Vera, cut one leaf from the plant, rind out the skin and squeeze the gel. Apply it over the affected area on a daily basis and the stretch marks will gradually fade. Alternatively, you can mix Aloe Vera gel with vitamin-E oil and massage.

2. Water

The best way to reduce the effects of stretch marks is to tackle them from the inside. If you take 8-10 glasses of water daily, you will reduce the effects of the stretch marks. In simple terms, the prominence of stretch marks on the skin will diminish. In addition to drinking plenty of water, a well-balanced diet will also help restore the lost elasticity of your skin and make those unwanted stretch marks disappear.

3. Essential Oils

Essential oil is singled out as one of the most effective remedies for stretch marks. It helps in improving blood circulation in your body and ensures your skin receives energy and oxygen which plays a crucially important role in keeping your skin healthy and getting rid of the stretch marks. Massage it onto the affected parts a few times a day. Other natural procedures such as scrubbing and exfoliation are also effective in making the marks less noticeable.

4. Lemon Juice

Lemon juice is an effective remedy for stretch marks thanks to its acidic nature as well as natural bleaching properties. It can reduce the redness of the scars and make them less visible. Cut a fresh lemon and squeeze the juice and massage it onto the affected areas. Leave it on the skin for 10-15 minutes, before rinsing with warm water. Repeat the lemon remedy every day until the stretch marks are completely lightened.

5. White Sugar

White sugar is among the most effective and gentle ways you can get stretch marks off your body. It contains essential fatty acids which help to get rid of stretch marks. It also increases the blood flow to the affected parts. Simply blend one tablespoon of sugar, a few drops of lemon juice and almond oil. Apply onto the stretch marks and rub it for 10-15 minutes, prior to rinsing with water. Repeat this method every month or until the stretch marks fade out.
