Get rid of stretch marks using sun tan lotion!

Stretch marks occur due to rapid weight gain or growth spurts. The stretching of the skin causes it to become strained, resulting in bumpy pink, red, or white lines. Stretch marks usually occur on the thighs and stomach, although weightlifters can get stretch marks on their arms. Pregnant women often have stretch marks at their pregnancy's end. Surgery or laser treatment is the only way to completely remove stretch marks, although they generally fade over time. Applying suntan lotion to the marks is a way to make them fade faster

things you'll need:

  • Body scrub
  • Clean towel
  • Body lotion
  • Suntan lotion with cocoa butter
Intructions:
1. Choose a suntan lotion that contains cocoa butter oil. Suntan lotions generally contain cocoa butter, jojoba, or coconut oil to keep skin hydrated while in the drying sun. Cocoa butter oil is an excellent moisturizer with natural healing properties and is a common ingredient in stretch mark creams and other forms of skin treatment.

2. Use a body scrub over the affected areas while showering. This will rid the skin of any dead cells that will interfere with its absorption of the suntan lotion. Pat skin dry after showering with a clean towel.

3. Rub body lotion into stretch marks, as suntan lotion works much faster on hydrated skin. Try picking a lotion that contains aloe vera as it is deeply hydrating with extensive healing properties. Allow to soak in.

4. Massage suntan lotion into stretch marks in a circular motion. Repeat daily to lessen the appearance of stretch marks.
