INGREDIENTS

Gather 2 tablespoons aloe vera leaf or aloe vera gel, Vitamin E oil (1 teaspoon), Coconut oil (1 teaspoon)

PREPARE THE ALOE VERA GEL

Take the gel out of an aloe vera leaf, or just buy some store-bought aloe vera gel for speed. Make sure it is unadulterated, with no chemical additives or fragrances added.

MIX THE INGREDIENTS

Place the aloe vera gel, Vitamin E oil and coconut oil into a clean bowl. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to make a powerful stretch mark treatment.

CLEANSE THE SKIN

Wash the affected area with a mild cleanser and dry it thoroughly before applying. This purifies the skin of impurities.

APPLY THE MIXTURE

With clean fingertips or a cotton ball, apply the aloe vera mixture gently to affected stretch marks. For better absorption, massage in circular motions.

LEAVE IT ON

Let the mixture penetrate into your skin for at least 15-20 minutes. For the greatest effect, leave overnight and rinse off in the morning.

REPEAT REGULARLY

Consistency is key. You will see results. Applying this aloe vera mixture daily or even every other day will gradually reduce the stretch marks over time.

HYDRATE AND MOISTURISE

Wash off the aloe vera mixture, and rub on a nourishing moisturiser to hydrate your skin. This will help reduce stretch marks.

SUN PROTECTION

Protect the treated area from direct sunlight. To avoid further damage to the skin by UV rays, use sunscreen with SPF.

CONCLUSION

Aloe vera's healing properties offer a natural and efficient way to reduce stretch marks, promoting skin rejuvenation and confidence. Consult a dermatologist for severe or persistent stretch marks.
