Using Olive Oil and Aloe Vera for Stretch Marks

Combine the following ingredients in a small container and place in the freezer until it solidifies:
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons of Aloe Vera
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar

Rub it on stretch marks before bedtime. You should start to see a difference in 2-4 weeks.

As much as I would love to believe in ANY cure for stretch marks, from a medical standpoint, they are all bogus. Stretch marks are tears in the dermis, the lower layer of skin. Any product applied to the epidermis will make your skin soft, but it will not sink into the dermis. The keratin of your skin prevents it from being absorbed. So this mixture will likely give you very soft, supple skin, but it will not and can not heal the scars that are stretch marks.
