Most women, and men to a lesser extent, suffer from stretch marks. After pregnancy, these annoying skin tags are almost guaranteed to appear. There are so many products that promise quick and easy solutions that at the end of the day they end up overwhelming us and ultimately fail to deliver on their promises. Why not try a homemade cream? This option is free of chemicals or toxins and totally natural.
To prepare this anti-stretch mark cream you will need:
– 1/4 cup of cocoa butter- 1/4 cup of olive oil- 1 tbsp of natural honey- 3 to 4 drops of lavender essential oil
Steps:
- Melt the cocoa butter in a bain-marie, that is, with a heat-proof container over a pot of boiling water.
- Add the olive oil and then add the honey and lavender essential oil.
- Mix all the ingredients over the heat, achieving a homogeneous and smooth mass.
- Let the cream cool and you’re done. You already have your completely homemade anti-stretch mark product. You can store it in a glass jar. Remember to always keep it closed.
how to use it
Apply the cream on your skin every morning. It smells fabulous and the ingredients will do wonders for your skin. This cream works on stretch marks since honey has numerous properties that act on the body. It is often used on scars and marks. On the other hand, lavender contributes to cell regeneration and remarkably nourishes the skin. Olive oil also evens out and flattens stretch marks (it can even work on acne scars). Cocoa butter makes the skin glow, smoothes wrinkles and prevents new stretch marks from appearing.
Advice
To help erase the appearance of stretch marks, be sure to eat nuts and seeds while using this cream as they contain zinc. Also drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated thus giving your skin elasticity and preventing it from breaking out and stretch marks from forming.Sources:Momtastic Healthy Food Mind
