Remove Old Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are the result of skin losing its elasticity. Collagen is lost in the particular area and unattractive purple lines occur. When making and using the remedy below, incorporate vitamin C supplement into your daily routine. Vitamin C helps boost collagen production. Also eat a diet full of antioxidants consisting of berries and dark green leafy vegetables to keep skin healthy.


Instructions








Remove Old Stretch Marks


1. Buy a solid 100 percent cocoa butter stick. It should cost about $1 to $2, but you may need to go to a couple of drug stores before you find it.


2. Grate 3 tbsp. of the coca butter stick into a microwave safe bowl. Heat gently in the microwave at 50 percent power until it becomes smooth and creamy.


3. Stir 1 tbsp. of flaxseed oil (approximately 3 capsules punctured) in the melted cocoa butter. Flaxseed oil is full of the repairing and cell regenerating vitamin E as well as omega 3 fatty acids.


4. Pour the warm mixture into a clean jar, and apply to old stretch marks twice a day. Cocoa butter will soften and plump the stretched skin while the flaxseed oil will encourage new cell growth by increasing circulation at the site of the stretch mark.


5. Remember that the cocoa butter will harden, but it melts easily once it makes contact with the skin. It is especially absorbent when skin is damp.
