How to Get Rid of Old Stretch Marks

Rose hip seed oil and helichrysum essential oil are the two stars when it comes to treating and fading scars old and new. If you treat your stretch marks with them, get lots of exercise and eat a good diet containing essential fatty acids and lots of green leafy vegetables, your stretch marks should be eliminated or vastly improved within a few months.

Things You'll Need

• Hazelnut oil
• Rose hip seed oil (rosa mosqueta oil)
• Unrefined shea butter
• Helichrysum essential oil
• Flax and evening primrose oil
• Lots of veggies

Instructions

1. Make an oil mixture of 80% hazelnut oil and 20% rose hip seed oil. Add 30 drops of helichrysum essential oil for each ounce of oil. Store in a glass bottle, preferably a dark glass bottle.

2. Once a day, dry brush or scrub your skin with a loofah or rough towel to improve circulation.

3. Morning and evening, massage the oil blend into the area where you have the stretch marks.

4. Use unrefined shea butter to keep it moisturized during the day.

5. Exercise to help improve circulation and improve your body's ability to heal itself.

6. Take EFAs internally. Look for a flax and evening primrose oil blend. If you can't find that, use regular flax oil or hempseed oil.

7. Eat your veggies, especially carrots and green leafy vegetables to give your skin the nutrients it needs.
