The stretchmarks that you see on your body are really tiny scars.
Because the scars occur beneath the epidermis (top layer of the skin), it can be difficult to eliminate them completely. Just as with the epidermis, the dermis (the skin layer just beneath the epidermis) is comprised of skin cells. When you have stretchmarks these skin cells are damaged. The best cure for stretchmarks is to treat this layer of this skin. This may sound difficult, but there are products available that are formulated especially to work as deep as the dermis.
You don’t have to invest in any expensive products to cure stretchmarks. Cocoa butter is a well-known product for treating stretchmarks, especially during pregnancy. Many people report success with Palmer’s Cocoa Butter. This product is inexpensive and is widely available. Because Palmer’s is made of natural ingredients, it is safe for pregnant and nursing women. The more pure cocoa butter the more effective it is to cure stretchmarks. Aura Cacia Pure Cocoa Butter is a product that you can use to cure stretchmarks. Pure cocoa butter has an aroma that is similar to chocolate, so you may experience the added bonus of an aromatherapy effect when using pure cocoa butter to cure stretchmarks.
An old cure for stretchmarks that originated in Australia is emu oil. In its purest form, emu oil has skin regenerative power. What gives emu oil this power is its high concentration of alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) and linoleic acid (omega-6). These fatty acids are essential for growth and promote cell construction. Emu oil is also an anti-inflammatory that will help to heal any redness you may experience. Vitamin E, avocado oil, and grapeseed are similar to emu oil in that they are capable of penetrating the epidermis and treating the skin cells at the dermis layer of the skin.
Although the elements listed here are reported to produce dramatic results in sufferers of stretchmarks, not everyone will experience the same results.
