Pregnancy, repeated muscle strains, or a slimming program—if you have a few reasons to fear the appearance of stretch marks, which are much easier to prevent than to remove, take action now!
The sensitive spots you know well: hips, buttocks, thighs, belly, and chest. Be firm, but gentle with them.
Natural products to prevent stretch marks
Aloe vera, avocado, turmeric… We’ve extolled their virtues countless times on consoGlobe.com. In stretch-mark prevention too, these ingredients have real talent!
Aloe
If you have an aloe plant at home, here’s another reason to be glad:
- Harvest one of its leaves.
- Slice it lengthwise.
- Collect a bit of its gel.
- Apply it daily by massaging all the areas where the ugly little lines threaten: belly, thighs, or chest.
The ideal, of course, is to use it fresh. If you cut a nice big leaf, you can definitely save it for the following days and even longer: simply cut the leaf into 5- or 6-cm sections, wrap them separately in plastic wrap, and store them in the fridge or freezer.
Turmeric
As interesting as a natural dye: turmeric. Put light-colored clothes and towels out of reach, then:
- Mix a teaspoon of turmeric with two generous tablespoons of yogurt.
- Massage the areas that need it with this curious cream.
- Apply before a shower or bath, of course…
Avocado
Avocado, for its part, helps you prepare a very creamy treatment to nourish delicate skin and, when available, fade stretch marks: who could ask for more?
- Mash half a ripe avocado.
- Add a tablespoon of lemon juice and another of honey.
- Thoroughly mix and apply this cream to the hips, buttocks, and thighs by massaging gently.
- Let it sit for a while, and rinse the rest off under the shower.
Taking care of your skin, your hair, your body, and enjoying the benefits of small lotions to beautify and relax is wonderful. With natural products, it’s even better!
