According to wikipedia, Stretch marks are a form of scarring
on the skin with an off- colour hue. They are caused by tearing of the dermis, which over time may diminish, but will not disappearcompletely. Here are some remedies in removing stretch marks from your body:
Use Of Moisturisers
This is a very simple concept especially to prevent your stretch marks from increasing. Like the name, they are formed when our skin is stretched soif those areas are well moisturised then the skin can stretch without getting damaged. Try and useyour lotion well before leaving the house everyday.
Potato Juice
Potato juice contains vitamins and minerals that improves or facilitates the growth and restoration of skin cells. You can just cut a medium-sized potato into thick slices.
Take one of the potato pieces and rub it gently on the stretch marks for a few minutes and make sure the liquid from the potato covers the affected area. After the potato juice has dried for some time you should then wash it off with warm water.
Sugar Scrub
White sugar is one of the best natural remedies to get rid of stretch marks. You can use the sugar to exfoliate your skin. Take a table spoon of raw sugar and mix it with some almond oil and add a few drops of lemon juice. Mix it well and apply it on the stretch marks and other skin areas.
Rub this mixture on the skin for at least 10 minutes every day before taking a shower and you should do this fora month or so and watch your stretch marks go.
Aloe Vera

You should directly rub aloe vera gel onthe affected skin area, leaveit on fora few minutes and then rinse the skin with lukewarm water.
Water
You all know the abundance of benefits you can get from just drinking water adequately daily. It also helps to protect the skin from many kinds of problems. Well-hydrated skin results in regular detoxification of skin pores and restores elasticity, which will help a lot in getting rid of stretch marks.
You should drink one to two glasses of water several times during a day.
Lemon Juice
We cannot over emphasize the unbelivable benefits of lemon. Lemon juice is naturally acidic which helps heal and reduce stretch marks. Daily rub fresh lemon juice gently onto the stretch marks. You should allow the lemon juice to soak into your skin for at least 10 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.
Olive Oil
Olive oil contains a lot of nutrients and antioxidants that help improve various skin problems including stretch marks. Rub slightly warm pure olive oil into the affected skin area. This will improve the blood circulation and reduce the stretch marks to a great extent. You should then leave it for half an hour so that the vitamins A, D and E presenting the oil are absorbed by the skin.
Eggs
Eggs are a rich source of protein but you want to use only the eggwhites, which contain amino acids and proteins for your stretch marks. Whip the whites of two eggs gently with a spoon. Clean the affected skin area with water and then apply a thick layer of egg whites with a makeup brush. After the whites have dried completely you can then rinse with water. After this you can use your lotion or olive oil to keep the areas moisturised.
