Stretch mark due to overweight....

Hi friends,
please can any one suggest me any remedy for stretch marks. Actualy i gained a lot of weight while prepairing for entrance exams and now when i have managed to lose weight these ugly stretch marks have appeared on my lower back.
Please help!!!

Hey i too have a similar prob.....cos my weight fluctuated twice....(from 62kg to 55kg...and after 3 years....from 55 to 63 .....

Due to this i have severe stretch marks on my arms and bust area....

I'm unable to wear sleeveless.....pls give me a proper solution....

it kills my self esteem as otherwise i have good skin...

They happened due to the breakage of elasten and collagen. Take oil bath once a week. Massage those area with coconut oil for half an hour. And wash it off using besan. And also use lemon + honey mixture in alternate days. Honey will moisturise the skin. It'll make the skin softer and further breakage will be under control. You can see the result within a week.
Let me know the feedback.

Thanks Shel, will try it..... Nd let u know the feeback.

Hi Ladies,

I came across an video on stretch marks while searching. I just started using it for about 2 weeks now. It can take up to six months or within the six months for result. Take a hot shower scrubing your skin with a loofah sponge and body bath. Then use shea butter and oilve oil mix. Mix into a bottle shake it well and use it daily. The video can be found in youtube.com by Tonya TKO. I bought my unrefined shea butter from the web and is using the Basso brand olive oil.I live in Singapore and I have stretchmarks after giving birth for a long time. So I hope for the best result...

Dear Ami,
Honey and lemon will remove the dark patches, moisturise your skin. coconut oil massage will prevent the further breakage of elastin and collagen. If you take oil bath once a week, the skin near the tighs and lower abdomen wont break further. Also if you take oil bath once, you can feel the skin nourishment. Its not necessary to use the mixture daily. You can do it once a week during your oil bath. But you need to alot time for this. Also you need to have patience to stay in the bathroom atleast for half an hour. Once you apply oil, give a gentle circular massage. wait for atleast 10 -15 minutes. Then apply the mixture and wait for 10 - 15 minutes. Then wash it off with besan and green gram powder. This weekend try oil bath and let me know the feedback.

Any more Questions??????????????

Hi Shel
Thanks for coming back and giving me the suggestion, I used to apply this mixture to get rid of tan so does it every day..and yeah as you said there is tremendous improvement in my skin texture/complexion.I also takes oil bath (extra virgin olive oil) every week but 2 things I failed to do is
1. I massage oil only for 15 minutes rather than half an hour as you suggested.
2. Honey+ lime mix was not applied after oil massage, I did it every eve.

Will defenitely try this and get back to this thread

1. I massage oil only for 15 minutes rather than half an hour as you suggested.

I meant the total time alotted for bathing. I'll take nearly 45 minutes. You can apply oil on your hands and legs may be half an hour before bath. But we cant apply oil on the other parts except in the bathroom. Am I right?

2. Honey+ lime mix was not applied after oil massage, I did it every eve.

Try this after oil massage. Wash it off with besan powder.
