Do you want to get rid of stretch marks? Are you feeling stuck with stretch marks from rapid weight changes or even pregnancy? There is good news. The juice from onions is a wonderful natural product to get rid of stretch marks. The process to get rid of stretch marks is fairly easy to do. You save money and get the benefits of getting rid of unwanted stretch marks without paying for expensive stretch mark creams and over the counter remedies.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Juice your onion. This is most easily done by grating the onion and placing it into a piece of muslin or cheesecloth. You can then squeeze all the juice from the bulk of the onion through the cheesecloth. If you have a number of places you want to do you may want to juice two onions.

  2. Step 2

    Measure your onion juice yield, then measure out an equal amount of apple cider vinegar. Give it a mix, to make sure both liquids are properly incorporated.

  3. Step 3

    Soak the cotton ball with the onion juice and apple cider vinegar mix and apply to the affected area at least twice a day. You should start to see improvements in a couple of weeks.

Tips & Warnings
  • Back this up with a good, nourishing moisturizer which has Vitamin E in it. This will help to speed up the process by assisting the skin to repair itself and get rid of stretch marks.
  • For those days when you have run out of mix and don't have time to prepare any, simply hold a slice of onion which you have dipped in apple cider vinegar to the area for a short time instead to get rid of stretch marks from your skin.
