Stretch marks are flat, pinkish scars that many women experience. They appear for several reasons. Most often after childbirth or a sharp increase in body weight and weight loss.
During pregnancy, there is a rapid increase in mass, the skin stretches too quickly (this is mechanical damage). As a result, the elastic fibers are torn, forming subcutaneous scars. The same situation happens with a sharp weight gain and after losing weight. The skin is stretched, the scars become more visible. Even teenage girls suffer, as their breasts grow rapidly at their age.
Striae do not harm health, but a woman experiences aesthetic discomfort, as they look unpresentable.
How can you get rid of them?
If there is no extra money for medical care, you can quite effectively fight with traditional methods.
Contrast compresses
- you need to collect two containers of water (basin, bowl, bucket). In one container - warm water (37-40 degrees), with a teaspoon of salt, in another - cool, with a teaspoon of lemon juice. You must take a terry towel. First, dip it in warm water, apply to the chest for 30-40 seconds, then in cold water, hold it for a minute. Repeat the steps several times. The temperature difference makes the skin more elastic.
Pre-steam the lotion: pour two cups of boiling water into a mixture of dill and linden blossom (a teaspoon each). And after the contrast procedures, wipe the chest with a chilled lotion and let it dry.
Seaweed wrap
- suitable for fresh stretch marks. At the pharmacy, you need to buy a special type of algae - spirulina, mix with water in a small amount until a gruel is formed. It is good to take a warm bath before the procedure, to warm up the skin. After that, apply the mixture to the places with stretch marks, wrap with cling film and wrap in a thick blanket for half an hour.
Essential oils
It takes several months to get the effect, but during the procedures the skin receives many useful elements and is tightened. It is not recommended to use oils in their pure form, as you can get burns. It is necessary to mix oils with a base (cosmetic clay, honey, yoghurt, cream) in a ratio of 5 drops of oil / 15 ml of base.
It is best to use essential oils:
- - pink;
- - tangerine;
- - lavender;
- - geranium oil;
- - ylang-ylang oil;
- - neroli oil.
It is necessary to rub the chest with such lotions with light massage movements. Exposure 15-25 minutes, rinse with warm water.
