So, I ask everyone to take their seats in the auditorium, our practical note begins.

How to get rid of stretch marks: an effective set of measures

If you follow publications on the project, you are probably aware that in our pantheon of articles there is already one note devoted to this topic, and it is located here [How to get rid of stretch marks: general questions]. In it, we examined in detail the entire theoretical side of the problem and laid some basis of knowledge for a better understanding of this skin phenomenon and the processes of its formation. Therefore, I strongly recommend starting to study this issue with her. We will go further and pay close attention to the practical or cleaning side.

It is worth saying that the topic aroused quite keen interest among the female half of the “ABC of Bodybuilding” audience. Both in the comments and by email, I began to receive threats :) that they say stop delaying the second part, give it to the masses! Well, because... I am always ready to serve our beautiful young ladies, so it was decided to write this answer as soon as possible, before more serious persecution of the author began).

Before I get started, I’ll tell you a little secret - I deliberately delayed the second part, because I collected (and collected) the most complete list of confirmed effective ways, methods and tricks for getting rid of stretch marks. This article will contain not only the methods that helped my experimental friends, Christina and Victoria, but also exclusive recipes from familiar dermatologists and even show business stars. In general, information was collected from the world bit by bit, and now I’m ready to provide it to you, let’s go.

The further narrative will be divided into subchapters for better assimilation of the material.

Let's start with the steps that I took in relation to getting rid of stretch marks for girls. I'll warn you in advance that 100% It was still not possible to remove them, but the young ladies were satisfied with the result, and what else is needed?

I. How to get rid of stretch marks: calibrating the nutrition process

The condition of the skin (and stretch marks are precisely a skin defect, structural changes in the dermis) depends on its nutrition, i.e. those micronutrients that come from outside. Often, the body of most people is depleted (does not receive enough) of necessary vitamins and minerals, as a result of which the trophism of the skin deteriorates.

In this regard, it is necessary to pay close attention to the following micronutrients:

No. 1. Vitamin A

Very important for skin growth and maintaining healthy bones, nails and hair. It helps restore damaged skin and avoid dryness and scaliness. Being absorbed into the skin, vitamin A stimulates it miotically and metabolically, allowing it to become more plump and elastic (as in adolescence).

Vitamin A also stimulates the process of cell renewal of the epidermis, which causes its thickening. At the same time, the collagen content of the skin increases and its elasticity improves. Include the following foods in your diet:

No. 2. Vitamin C

One of the most important roles (for skin) of vitamin C is to heal wounds and scar tissue. It is necessary for collagen synthesis and acts as a “cementing” substance for skin cells. A special feature of vitamin C is its rapid oxidation upon contact with air and light. Therefore, it is best to buy it at the pharmacy in a sealed brown glass bottle or in tablet form. Also include in your diet:

  1. rose hip;
  2. strawberries, black currants, sea buckthorn, honeysuckle;
  3. kiwi, oranges, lemons.

No. 3. Vitamin E

Vitamin E is essential for maintaining normal metabolism and tissue healing. For skin care, vitamin E is most useful as an antioxidant. It can be used orally (products) and topically (creams). To maintain normal vitamin E levels, include in your diet:

  1. nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts);
  2. dried apricots, prunes;
  3. linseed oil, corn oil.

No. 4. Zinc

The most important property of zinc is the production of collagen. Collagen is a structural protein that makes up 80% all connective tissue. When there is a sufficient amount of collagen in the human body, it means that it is almost impossible to get stretch marks. Collagen is not available for food, but zinc can be obtained by eating:

  1. ZMA supplements (sports nutrition);
  2. food gelatin in bags (as a source of collagen);
  3. lean beef/lamb, liver;
  4. oysters
  5. cocoa powder, chocolate.

So, that's it for vitamins and minerals. As you can see, the products are easy to combine with each other and mix into various dishes. I will give our dish options based on all of the above.

II. How to get rid of stretch marks: exercise

It would seem, how are stretching and exercises connected? In fact, everything is very simple - specialized exercises allow you to pump blood and oxygen into the target problem area and improve its “well-being”. They also work to tighten (thicken) the skin.

Use the following exercises to help reduce halos and the appearance of stretch marks.

No. 1. Exercise for stretch marks on the stomach (crunches)

Lie flat on your back on the floor. Bend your knees, keeping your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands behind your head. Slightly lift your upper body (shoulders) and contract your abdominal muscles. Try to keep your chest close to your knees (i.e. two imaginary points meeting). Execute 3 approach to 15 repetitions.



realno-izbavitsya-ot-WiPgffN.webp

No. 2. Exercise for stretch marks on the chest

T-push-ups are an excellent stretch-reducing exercise. It combines classic push-ups, plank and body rotation. It is carried out as in the picture. Number of approaches 2, reps 15 (on each side).



realno-izbavitsya-ot-xVkZaR.webp

No. 3. Exercises for stretch marks on the thighs and buttocks

The following exercises will help minimize stretch marks in these problem areas:

  1. Sit upright in a chair. Lower your arms to your sides while holding the chair. Start moving your legs up and down. This will help tighten your thighs. Execute 3 approach to 25 repetitions.
  2. Lie on your back, raise one leg to a corner in 90 degrees until you feel a stretch in your buttocks. Repeat for the other leg. Number of approaches 3, reps 15 (for each leg).
  3. Lie on your stomach. Move your arms slightly to the sides. Raise your right leg up and then down. Repeat the movement for the left. Pull your leg as high as possible. Number of approaches 2, reps 10 (for each leg).



realno-izbavitsya-ot-oJrLdDD.webp

Another great cleanup exercise is the single leg raise from a bridge position.

Lie on the mat on your back, bend your knees at an angle 90 degrees. Pull your left leg up (pointing your hip toward the ceiling) while holding a bridge with your right leg and upper back. Linger at the top 2-3 seconds and lower your hip into IP. Do 2 approach to 10 reps on one side, then switch legs and repeat.



realno-izbavitsya-ot-AfhlAN.webp

No. 4. Exercises for stretching on the side of the legs

Rest your right side on the fitball and place your right knee on the mat. Extend your left leg straight and begin to make small circular movements with it. Do 10 circles back and the same number forward. Change your leg by completing 20 repetitions (total 2 approach). It is very important not to help yourself with your body while performing rotational movements.

Let's move on and move on to the third stage.

III. How to get rid of stretch marks: cosmetics and recipes for getting rid of stretch marks

In addition to adjusting nutrition and incorporating specialized exercises, we also directly affected areas with stretch marks using various care products. Let's get to know them better.

No. 1. Scrub “secret from Hollywood”

A dermatologist friend shared the recipe for this scrub with me. She learned it (and began to use it in her practice) from her friend, who works in a European dermatology clinic. According to the foreign lady, she met him through colleagues from the USA. There is information that some Hollywood stars use this recipe. Well, in fact, why are we worse :), so we decided to try it - it works!

  1. Johnson's Baby Butter;
  2. crushed coffee beans (1/2 cups);
  3. brown sugar (if you don’t have sugar, you can alternatively replace it with sea salt).



realno-izbavitsya-ot-gqfdZ.webp

Take a deep bowl and mix all the ingredients, the consistency should be moderately thick, so eyeball the proportions yourself. Place the resulting mixture in a stocking and rub vigorously into problem areas where you have stretch marks.



realno-izbavitsya-ot-OPEkXs.webp

Duration of rubbing 10 minutes, then run to the shower! Perform the procedure 3 once a week. The first results can be observed after 5 procedures.

Models use a coffee mixture before going on the runway to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. They grind the coffee beans and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and mix everything thoroughly. Then rub (about 5 minutes) apply this mixture to the place of stretch marks, wrap the place with a towel and leave it like that for 30 minutes.

Another homemade scrub recipe.

No. 2. Scrub “no stretch marks No. 1”

  1. salt (preferably coarse sea salt);
  2. honey;
  3. glycerol.

Mix 1/2 teaspoon of salt with 1 tsp honey and 1 tsp glycerin. Rub the resulting mixture for 5 minutes into the stretch marks, then rinse with warm water and a mild cleanser.



realno-izbavitsya-ot-izrWCTN.webp

For the best effect, carry out the procedure 2 once a day. Store leftover mixture in the refrigerator for no more than 48 hours, then make a new scrub.

No. 3. Scrub “no stretch marks No. 2”

The last scrub recipe we use. Based on the following ingredients:

  1. carrots (fresh);
  2. tangerine peel;
  3. olive oil.

Place half of the carrots, peel 1 tangerine and 4 tablespoons olive oil in a blender. Beat at high speed until the consistency of puree is obtained. Apply the mixture to damp areas of stretch marks (for example, in the bath or under the shower). Then rinse the areas with warm water, dry, and apply your favorite moisturizer. Carry out the procedure 1 once a day. Store the mixture in the refrigerator no more than 5 days from the date of manufacture.

No. 4. Retin-A Cream/Retinoic Ointment

Retin-A has a positive effect on stretch marks (especially new ones - recently acquired ones), significantly retouching them.



realno-izbavitsya-ot-PAWXkWG.webp

If these products are not publicly available in stores or pharmacies, then look for those containing retinoic acid (Tazorac Cream, Differin). Such drugs cause the growth of new cells and the replacement of old ones. You will quickly see noticeable improvements in the fight against stretch marks. Attention! If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is better to avoid this method.

Well, here is a list of tools that (including) were in the arsenal of our beauties, Christina and Victoria, in solving the problem of how to get rid of stretch marks. What would you like to note?

It was a set of measures that helped us achieve the best results (we believe), i.e. carrying out work in several areas at once (nutrition adjustments, targeted physical activity, cosmetics). Who knows whether the young ladies were satisfied with the result, if we had only used some 1 or 2 tool. It seems unlikely to me. And this is quite a worthy result!

In conclusion, I would like to provide the most complete list of measures/actions and remedies that will help in the fight against this skin defect. So, let's go.

IV. How to get rid of stretch marks: a natural first aid kit

No. 1. Egg whites

They are very useful in skin rejuvenation. All you need to do is separate 2 white from the yolk, beat them with a fork. Then rinse the stretch marks with water and apply a thick layer of whites to the stretch marks using a makeup brush. Remain in this state until the latter are completely dry and then rinse with water. Such procedures need to be carried out 1 once a day for 2 weeks

No. 2. Lemon+cucumber juice

Freshly squeezed lemon juice, or rather its acidic nature, helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Cucumber juice allows you to cleanse your skin; it’s not for nothing that it is used in various tonics and lotions. Mix equal amounts of lemon and cucumber juice and wipe the stretch marks with a cotton swab (10 minutes), then let dry and rinse with water. 1-2 procedures per day are quite enough. You can also simply rub the problem areas with half a lemon (about 10 minutes).

No. 3. Aloe juice

Surely many of your parents or even older generations will have this plant. So, the nutrients contained in aloe juice help to effectively solve various skin problems, incl. and striae. Cut the aloe leaf lengthwise and squeeze the juice onto the affected areas. Let it dry and then leave it like that 2 hours, then rinse with water. You can also take this juice orally (1 glass per day) slightly diluted with water.

No. 4. Potato juice

Another home remedy that is designed (among other things) to combat stretch marks. Potatoes are rich in certain types of vitamins and minerals that help the growth of new cells. Cut the potatoes in half and rub the slices on the affected areas. Press the tuber to release more juice. After such “rubbing”

:)

Rinse areas with water. Use potato juice on a regular basis and you will soon notice that your stretch marks fade significantly and become invisible.

No. 5. Hydration

An ordinary ice cube and moisturizer after a bath can also have an effect on reducing stretch marks. All you need is to massage problem areas with an ice cube and apply moisturizer daily after shower/bath. In addition, always maintain a high level of hydration, i.e. drink plenty of water (weight/30 = X liters of water/day).

Well, that’s probably all the points that I would like to convey to you in this note. Let's sum it up and say goodbye.

Afterword

Many girls have to deal with stretch marks (aka stretch marks). This cosmetic defect cannot but upset. Although uneven light scars do not cause pain, they do not look aesthetically pleasing. Because of this, girls start to be shy of your body, depression develops from daily contemplation of stretch marks on your body.

How to get rid of them, are there effective methods that will help remove this unpleasant defect from the skin? Fresh stretch marks are removed from the skin easy enough, but unfortunately, it will be much more difficult to get rid of the old ones, which are already firmly based on the body.

Causes

The mechanism for the occurrence of stretch marks is quite simple: the skin becomes stretched, but the cell mass simply does not have time to grow, there is not enough collagen. Because of this, the skin becomes thinner and begins to tear in the area of ​​connective tissue. This is how stretch marks are formed. What can provoke their appearance:

  1. Childbirth;
  2. Breast-feeding;
  3. Cutting weight gain or losing weight;
  4. Taking hormonal devices;
  5. Active training;
  6. A young age when the body is just forming.

It is very simple to understand that stretch marks have appeared on the skin. When the connective tissue is torn, scars can be seen on the skin. Their color ranges from red to blue. In addition to the skin, small blood vessels also rupture; over time, blood drains from them, so the stretch marks fade. Then they become completely white, do not itch, do not itch, do not hurt. In general, they don’t bring anything physical discomfort. It’s just that scarred skin doesn’t look very nice. Especially with a bronze tan, ultraviolet light does not affect connective tissue, which lacks melanin.



realno-izbavitsya-ot-RSkvlz.webp

The more elastic your skin is, the less it will tear. If the body produces enough collagen and elastin, the skin will stretch and contract without harming its appearance.

Striae can be divided into old and fresh. The stretch marks that have just appeared still have a rich color, but the old ones are already visible in the form of whitish stripes. They often appear on the buttocks, abdomen, thighs, and chest.

Modern methods

Many girls do not want to wait and exhaust themselves with various home procedures. Therefore, they resort to the latest technologies: chemical peeling with fruit acids, laser resurfacing of stretch marks, mesotherapy (vitamin cocktails are injected under the skin).

But now non-injection mesotherapy has also been invented, when substances are administered under oxygen pressure. There is microcurrent therapy that encourages new connective tissue to regenerate. The most extreme option is plastic surgery. They resort to it when it is necessary to remove a large number of noticeable stretch marks.

In any case, it is better to first try home methods and lightweight salon procedures, because all of these can give visible results.

Exercises

Without an active image, there will be no good figure and excellent skin condition. Physical activity should be dosed, then it will help tighten the skin. If you manage to increase the elasticity of the skin, then the size of the stretch marks will definitely decrease.

Do exercises for your waist, hips, buttocks, and legs as often as possible. You need equal amounts of cardio and muscle stretching exercises. But be careful when it comes to the strength unit—sometimes female athletes develop stretch marks precisely because of excessive training.

It is better to resort to calm and measured training - Pilates, yoga. They have a good effect on muscle elasticity and relieve excess weight.

During pregnancy

Both during pregnancy and after childbirth, stretch marks may occur. The uterus grows, which causes the skin to stretch. And if the elasticity of the epidermis is reduced, then tissue ruptures cannot be avoided. Therefore, it is worth taking care of the condition of your skin from the very beginning - preferably even before planning a child. But the recommendations are also suitable for those who have already become pregnant and do not want to intensively get rid of the scars that have appeared after childbirth.

Start with your diet. Your menu should include vegetable oils, fruits and vegetables, fatty fish, eggs, dairy products, nuts, cheese, chicken and beef, and whole grains. Weight must be constantly monitored and never overeat.

Do a set of exercises for pregnant women, you can visit the pool, and walk in the fresh air as often as possible. But before starting any exercise, consult your doctor!

Use exclusively natural products for skin care. Lubricate your skin with oils, buy a natural moisturizer.

A lot depends on the clothes too. It should be made of natural materials and not squeeze the body. From the beginning of the second trimester, start wearing a bandage to support your abdomen and spine. Don’t forget about a prenatal bra so that your breasts don’t sag and, therefore, stretch marks don’t appear on them.

All these procedures give good results and prevent skin sagging. If you find unsightly scars on your body, do not get upset ahead of time - be patient! Approach the solution to the problem comprehensively, adopt salon procedures, home methods, dosed exercises and medicinal cosmetics. Then perfect skin will become not a dream for you, but a reality.
