Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Dear group, As some of you know, I am in the process of getting myself in shape and am keen to do things as natural as possible. One area however which I am battling with at present is STRETCHMARKS!!! I ahte them and want them to diminsh as much as possible whilst gaining and retaining firm skin in the process:)! Too much to ask? Maybe, but all tips and advise would be most welcome. Also, I here that good circulation is key, so if anyone knows of any skin tinctures I should apply to my skin (and the dosage if possible), I would definatley appreciate it. Before joining this group, keeping things in their most natural state concerning ones total health never really occured to me. But now its all I think about ! Thanks in advance. Blessings always.

The technique is not difficult but needs to be done before showering. After, moisturize damp skin- I like to use emu oil which I add Bulgarian Lavender essential oil. Unlike most moisturizers, emu oil will penetrate the skin and is known for healing. Cindy (only use natural bristle brushes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 My aunt lost a lot of weight, and when she did she had a lot of stretchmarks. She used Vitamin E and punched a hole in it and rubbed the oil from it onto her stretchmarks. She did like everyday. That was about 2 years ago. Now she does not have any stretchmarks at all. Good luck!ponygirl72003 <ponygirl72003 wrote: Dear group,As some of you know, I am in the process of getting myself in shape and am keen to do things as natural as possible.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Is there really anything that will help stretchmarks, even old ones from prior pregnancies? I was told that if your mother got them you would get them, and that explains why some do and some don't. Forgive me if this sounds a little hook line and gullible. I have also read several places that stretch marks are deep tissue, and thus surface applications really show no improvement in appearance nor tissue rebuilding. I believe that oppinion came from a long time dermatologist, so of course I took it for granted. Does calendula really work? --Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
