How to Get Rid of Stretch Marks Fast
Stretch marks, or striae, develop when your skin suddenly needs to stretch beyond the limits of its natural growth rate. The middle layer of your skin breaks in places, causing the lower layers of your skin to show through. "Active" stretch marks tend to be red or purple, fading toward silvery white over time, although colors will vary depending upon your skin tone.[1] Up to 90 percent of pregnant women develop stretch marks over the course of their pregnancies. Stretch marks may also develop when you hit a growth spurt as an adolescent, lose a lot of weight fast, or if you build muscle exceptionally quickly. Most medical professionals regard time as the best "treatment" for stretch marks. They will eventually fade and diminish in prominence. Active stretch marks may respond to a variety of treatments, but keep in mind that the effectiveness of any treatment may be limited

METHOD 1
.Pursuing Home Remedies
1.Drink plenty of water. Water is the quickest and most efficient way to minimize the appearance of stretch marks. Properly hydrated skin is softer and more supple, causing your skin to appear more toned and eliminating some of the "bumpy" qualities of stretch marks. Keeping hydrated will also help prevent new stretch marks from forming.[3][4]
- Specific instructions vary, but consider drinking up to ten glasses of water daily to keep your skin hydrated and minimize the appearance of stretch marks.
2.
Administer aloe vera. Aloe vera may be the most effective home health remedy for treating stretch marks. This plant is known for its soothing and healing properties; many people use it to treat sunburn. Break off a leaf from an aloe vera plant and apply the broken surface directly to your skin. After a few minutes, rinse with lukewarm water. Alternatively, consider using a preparation made using aloe vera gel.
- Combine 1/4 cup (60 ml) aloe vera gel with the oil from ten vitamin E capsules and the oil from five vitamin A capsules.
- Apply this mixture once a day, rubbing it into your skin until absorbed.
3.
- Gently whip two egg whites with a whisk until soft peaks form.
- Use a makeup brush or sponge to apply a thick layer of whipped egg white to your stretch marks and let dry completely.
- Rinse with cold water.
- Apply a light coat of olive oil to hydrate your skin after rinsing off the egg whites.
Employ egg whites. The amino acids and proteins in egg whites work to repair damaged skin. This treatment may produce results in just a couple of weeks.
