Eliminating Stretch Marks - With 4 Powerful Tips!

By LyleAgotii

Eliminating stretch marks can be a real pain, they are some of the most stubborn things to get rid of! In fact, it can seem like they are impossible to get rid of. The truth is, once you have a stretch mark, it’s pretty much there with you to stay, you may be able to reduce the stretch marks appearance, but as far as getting rid of it completely, that’s not likely to happen.

One of the first things to try when eliminating stretch marks though are creams and lotions, many of which you can find off of the Internet. A lot of them claim to be able to cure them completely, but the best you can hope for is having them reduced to the point that they are no longer noticeable unless you go in close to inspect them.

Now if you’re looking for some of the best ways of eliminating stretch marks we’re going to go over a few of them here, so be sure to take notes and apply the tips given here:

1. Tan

AS we mentioned earlier, eliminating stretch marks may not be possible, but you will be able to reduce their appearance. One of the best ways to do that is through tanning. When you get a tan, not only do you look better, but the stretch mark striae end up blending in better with the surrounding tissue. I’m not sure why this happens but it does. So try booking a few appointments with your local tanning salon and test this out for yourself.

2. Microdermabrasion

Another treatment method to consider is microdermabrasion. This involes the use of a rough surface to buff away the top layer of skin thus revealing the healthy skin beneath. Often times by getting this done, you can reduce the appearance of scars such as stretch marks and make them look smaller than they actually are.

This is not a permanent treatment though and you’re going to have to keep on coming in regularly if you want to maintain the improvement in skin texture and quality. This can add up as well, but if you’re happy with the results, it might be worth it.

3. Chemical Peels

Another technique to try which is effective is the chemical peel. By using special chemicals, the outer layer of skin can be essentially peeled off, revealing the healthy, fresh skin underneath. This is much the same as Microdermabrasion, but it’s just done in a different way.

4. Use Makeup

Ok, this is not really a way of eliminating stretch marks per say, but it will definitely cover them up. Just use some foundation or a powder that is similar in color to your skin tone and apply it to the stretch mark scars. You can reduce their appearance this way although it will be a lot of work each day.

Hopefully these tips have helped, if not, keep searching, you’re bound to find a working solution!
