Stretch marks are unsightly marks on the skin that are caused by poor quality and breakage of the fibers. They are considered a pathological state of the connective tissue of the dermis, made up of excessive fibrosis that can be whitish or purple in color.

In general, they are located in areas such as the buttocks, abdomen and legs, which are the ones that suffer the most from sudden changes in weight. Although they do not represent a health problem as such, they are frowned upon on an aesthetic level.

Fortunately, there are several formulas to prepare homemade creams using 100% natural and skin-friendly ingredients. In this space we want to teach you how to make one with coconut oil so that you don’t stop taking advantage of all its properties.

Let’s do it!

Anti-stretch mark cream with coconut oil and almonds

The reduction of stretch marks with natural products is an increasingly popular trend among the female population. Ingredients such as coconut or almond oil make it worth choosing  options other than the treatments that are offered in the market.

Coconut oil is considered a “superfood”, which stands out for its high nutritional value and properties for the body. It has been used in cosmetics for several years, after verifying that it is very good for skin and hair care.

Its combination of medium chain fatty acids with vitamins and minerals gives it a moisturizing and repairing effect that benefits tissues and cells. It also contains proteins and antioxidant compounds that help to firm up to prevent sagging and stretch marks.

For its part, almond oil is a healthy source of proteins, antioxidants and natural fats that make it one of the best moisturizers for the skin. Its application helps retain the natural oils of the dermis, thus preventing it from losing its softness and smooth texture.

It contains anti-inflammatory substances that soothe various skin problems such as redness and irritations. Its fatty acids improve the elasticity of the skin and accelerate the recovery of scars to achieve a more aesthetic appearance.
