Women are getting stretch marks in any period of their life, from puberty until they get older and unfortunately no one is spared from these white lines on the body. A major factor for the appearance of stretch marks is sudden weight change, weight fluctuation and sudden and rapid growth in puberty. Simply said, no one is safe.
The rapid stretching of the skin while gaining weight is followed by the above-mentioned changes in the skin that occur in the form of cracks in different colors. Their color varies from purple to something lighter shade than the skin itself. The fat accumulation in the abdomen, thighs and buttocks is a major culprit for the occurrence of such tiny cracks in the skin or stretch marks.
Although this problem has tormented women for decades, today there are many natural treatments that you can do at home that will help in removing stretch marks within several months. Perhaps the effect is not immediate, but you must be persistent to remove scars from the skin which are mostly noticeable in the summer, when women are wearing bathing suits or short clothes.
1. Coconut oil
Coconut oil can make miracles for the skin as it is very effective when it comes to elimination of stretch marks.
