Stretchmarks:





Ive dona ALOT of research and pure products are the best!! lotions at the stores are only dilluted and full of ingredients that arent good for skin Whenever you buy a product make sure to look at the ingredients first example, if you want cocoa butter the only ingredient should be cocoa butter not water,mineral oil, cetyl alcohol etc....I have 2 great recipes for you and they are working great for me!! I didnt use anything (besides regular lotion) with my first 3 Big Mistake!! This time i did the research and my skin even at 9 months pregnant is glowing and smooth





My homemade recipes


1 cup olive oil


1 cup coconut oil


2 oz vitamin e oil (10-12 capsules)


6 vitamin a capsules


Heat on low to melt coconut oil and blend ingredients store in fridge (for lotion bar as it will harden) or in cupboard for your basic oil





6-8oz cocoa butter(this one is my fave)


6 oz almond oil


4 oz coconut oil


2 oz vitamin e oil


6 vitamin a capsules


Heat on low to melt coconut oil and cocoa butter blend ingredients store in fridge (for lotion bar as it will harden) or in cupboard for your basic oil





First i exfoliate (great for removing dead skin cells and rejuvinating skin) basically it wakes up your skin and prepares it to absorb moisture at its best Get a loofah and your bodywash of choice prefferably with exfoliating beads scrub in circular motions for a good 1-3 minutes than apply oil within 3 minutes of getting out of the shower its recommended to massage into skin so i spend about 3 minutes massaging into my skin





My old stretch marks from 5 years back are even improving!!


Ive only been doing this for 2 months now and my skin is smoother the redness is fading more everyday its said that it takes a good 6 months to heal but its definetly worth it and remember they are always going to be there but you can dramatically fade and heal them if you do this daily





Here are some more recipes not my own but recommended





1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil


- 1/2 Cup Aloe Vera Gel


- 10 Vitamin E Capsules, Drained


- 5 Vitamin A Capsules, Drained


Place in fridgerator and use twice or more a day. Rub into skin untill fully absorbed





4 teaspoons nescafe coffee, or brand you prefer


1 cup coconut oil


Brew coffee as you normally do.


Add the brewed coffee to the coconut oil.


Bring to a boil.


Remove from heat.


Allow to cool.


Rub this every night before going to sleep over your stretch marks.


This when done regularly will lighten the stretch marks and make them less visible.

Biotherm. It reduces %26amp; prevents them. It depends on how old the stretch marks are though. I'm pretty sure that it has to be no older than 9 years for the cream to work. If you decide to buy this product, just double check with the person who's selling it. It costs about $50 but it takes about 3 months before you start to see results. You can buy it at a pharmacy, Sears, or beauty store. For black heads try buying a specific cream for blackheads. The one I use is Clean %26amp; Clear. It will clean out probably all of your black heads the 1st time you try it. You can't use it everyday though, just twice a week b/c you're skin needs it's natural oils. Also I use Dove or Olay face wipes. They work too. Vitamin E as a finishing touch will keep your face healthy!
Cover yourself in tattoos--that will cover up all that and more ; )
Massaging on the stretch marks serves as an excellent home remedy for stretch marks removal. You can either use olive oil, flaxseed oil, vitamin E oil or cod liver oil for the purpose of massage.
