Stretch marks are an annoying and unavoidable side effect of pregnancy. These pinkish streaks show up around six or seven months of gestation, and they usually stick around after your little one is born. Some women turn to expensive, chemical-laden creams to banish stretch marks on their stomach, hips, and breasts. But did you know that natural remedies can work just as well? Here natural stretch mark treatments to buy or DIY:
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil’s fatty acids easily absorb into the skin. It’s also anti-inflammatory and encourages collagen production, which will speed up this mark recovery.
How To Use
Thoroughly rub coconut oil onto stretch marks. No need to wipe off this natural ingredient afterwards!
Aloe Vera
The stalky green leaves of aloe vera store water and nutrients. These components contribute to aloe vera’s healing properties, as well as its ability to minimize the appearance of stretch marks.
How To Use: If you have an aloe vera plant at home, break off one of the stalks and rub the gooey insides on your stretch marks. Don’t rinse off the residue. Alternately, you can buy aloe vera gel and rub it onto your stretch marks once a day.

Egg Whites
Thanks to their amino acids and proteins, egg whites can regenerate stretched-out skin.
How To Use: Whisk two egg whites with a fork. Apply the foamy whites to your skin, let them dry, and then rinse them off. Follow up with a layer of moisturizer or olive oil. Repeat this process every day (or several times per week) to see results.
Lemon Juice
You probably know that lemon juice can stain your countertops and fabrics. But these acidic fruits can also “bleach” marks from pregnancy.
How To Use: Soak a cotton ball in the juice of a lemon, then let it sit on your skin for about ten minutes. If you do this regularly, the natural acids of the lemon juice will lighten marks.Read More………..
