Homemade Recipe For A Stretch Mark Removal Cream

There is a homemade stretch mark removal cream that can work as good as the best stretch mark cream out there . The effectiveness of a topical cream depends solely on what the cream is made of – not the cost or the brand of the cream. The cream should contain natural and medical components that will be able to effectively stimulate cell regeneration, moisturize the skin and increase the production of collagen. Undoubtedly, you will be able to find creams that have all these ingredients. You can make your own homemade remedy and save yourself hundreds of dollars a month.

This is a recipe I found in eHow.com. It worked wonders for me and I want to share it with my readers.

Here are the ingredients you will need.
– 1/4 cup cocoa butter
– 1 tbsp wheat germ oil
– 1 medium sized lemon
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1 tsp sesame oil
– 1 tsp apricot kernel oil
– 1 tsp vitamin E oil (or 2 capsules of vitamin E)
– 2 tsp beeswax beads
– 2 Capsules of Vitamin A
– Double Boiler

Cocoa butter is an active ingredient in almost all stretch mark creams. Cocoa butter will help you rejuvinate your skin and will also assist in keeping your skin moisterized for a longer period of time.

Vitamin A, milk and lemons {Vitamin A, milk and lemons} are natural sources of AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) which have been used for centuries in skin rejuvenation.

Sesame oil, germ oil, apricot kernel oil, and Vitamins E on the other hand contain retinol and other essential oil substances that help increase the production of collagen.

Preparation Instructions.

Consistently mix the ingredients while pouring the mixture on the top part of the double boiler. Fill the bottom part with water and leave to boil on a stovetop over medium heat.

Wait for the water to boil. After it is boiling, stir the mixture gently until the beeswax and cocoa butter are melted completely. This would take about 5-8 minutes to complete.

Turn off the heat and remove the boiler from the stove. Keep mixing until your cream has cooled. Transfer the mixture in a jar that is equipped with a tight lid. Wait until the mixture on the jar has completely cooled before putting the lid back on the jar.

This recipe will give you about 4 ounces of homemade stretch mark removal cream. This will last you about 1 month depending on the extent of the skin area you will need to apply the concoction to.

Application Instructions.

This stretch mark removal cream should be used sparingly. If you apply too much cream you may cause more harm than good by clogging the pores. Dab a little amount in the whole affected area with your fingers and massage the area in a circular motion. Make this a daily regimen and perform it at least 3 times per day. Be consistent in applying the cream and do not miss a day, doing so will set you back considerably. After a couple of days, there would be a significant improvement of the appearance of your skin.

f your scars are new and shallow, this homemade stretch mark removal cream may be able to eliminate  the scars in a couple of weeks. Sad to say, though, that no stretch mark cream will be able to totally remove stretch marks. However, the cream you have just concocted may be able to make the scars less visible and it will keep the skin amply moisturized to prevent it from further damage.
