8 Easy & Effective Home Remedies to Lighten Stretch Marks

Generally with significant weight loss and gain, comes this entity labeled as stretch marks. They are something that people usually escape from, as they tend to deface their whole personality.



It is difficult to completely wipe off stretch marks; however, there are some home remedies for lightening them so that they don’t appear as prominent-

Due to the acidic nature and natural bleaching properties of lemon juice, it is considered to be one of the most effective remedies to lighten stretch marks. Simply cut a lemon, squeeze out the fresh juice and rub it gently onto the affected skin. Rinse it off after 10 minutes with some warm water.

2. Vegetable Oil Massage
Vegetable oils such as coconut oil, castor oil and even olive oil have the property of moisturizing skin and smoothing out wrinkles. Both these actions ensure that these oils are equally good for getting rid of stretch marks.
Take some warm olive oil and massage it deep onto the affected skin before bed. Rinse it off the next day morning with some warm water and mild soap, if necessary. When it comes to castor oil, the best way is to rub slightly warmer castor oil directly onto the affected skin and then wrap a cloth dipped in hot water (but not uncomfortably so) around the area.

3. Carrot Juice
Carrot juice is rich in minerals and vitamin C and helps beautify skin. Mix carrot juice with one teaspoon of sea salt. Massage this paste on the scar, leave to dry and rinse with warm water.
