Among all of these natural ways of removing stretch marks, I introduce you to egg whites. Egg whites contain amino acids, which are known to be very effective in skin care treatment. Egg whites are rich in proteins and nutrients.

Thoroughly clean the targeted area with warm water and apply the thick egg whites using a brush. Let it dry on your skin and then wash it off. You can use a moisturizer to hydrate your skin to give you an impressive result.

Method 6: Use A Moisturizer

Keeping your skin hydrated is one way of improving your skin’s health. Moisturizer is an excellent way to prevent your skin from tearing which causes skin to stretch. This is a safe method, and it can even be used with pregnant and lactating mothers. When the stretch marks are still new, moisturizing your skin will be more efficient at minimizing their appearance than when they are older. The moisturizer achieves this by making your skin cells plump, giving you radiant and smooth skin.

Method 7: Use Glycolic Acid

Collagen is responsible for making your skin more elastic. Glycolic acid stimulates increased production of collagen by your skin. It is also in the same category with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) which are known for their peel effect.

This method is safe for everyone and can be used by both pregnant and lactating mothers.
