One of the most effective natural allies against skin stretch marks is lemon , which has a deep antioxidant and nourishing action on the tissues.
Combined with almond oil or aloe vera , lemon becomes the main ingredient of very effective homemade beauty treatments to alleviate this annoying skin blemish.
Freshly squeezed, it can be applied directly to the skin with gentle and continuous circular massages until completely absorbed and then rinsed off with warm water.
Together with the emollient action of almond oil, on the other hand, it becomes a beauty cream with which to massage the area to be treated for 10 minutes, perhaps before a shower.
In this case, just mix the juice of a lemon, some sugar and a few drops of sweet almond oil until you get a homogeneous paste.
To prepare compresses, however, simply mix the juice of a lemon with aloe vera gel or olive oil to obtain a paste to apply on stretch marks, letting it rest for at least 10 minutes.
Lemon accelerates the cell regeneration process, relaxing the tissues and deeply hydrating.
In addition, it facilitates skin whitening by making stretch marks less visible and stimulates the production of collagen reducing redness and skin spots.
