Does Applying Shea Butter For Stretch Marks Actually Work?

Shea Butter For Stretch Marks

Does Applying Shea Butter for Stretch Marks Actually Work?

Stretch marks are caused and created by the tearing of the skin dermis. They are most commonly associated with pregnancy when rapid weight gain causes the skin to stretch quickly. However, stretch marks can also occur in response to a rapid growth, such as during puberty. Although they look like long, thin bruises to start with, over time they do fade and resemble whiteish lines. They can also be red-ish lines. The whiter lines are typically flat and the reddish ones are typically raised. No stretch marks look exactly the same- with skin color playing a big part in the mix. Generally- they range from white to red to brown.

For many women, stretch marks can negatively impact self-esteem. Women will wear a one-piece bathing suit instead of a bikini which is the preferred option to hide these marks. Or long-sleeved pants and tops- depending on where the stretch marks occur.

It really is a shame because all bodies are so beautiful. But we understand that many women want to fix their stretch marks. There are medical procedures that can remove stretch marks. Some people opt to have laser surgery to remove stretch-marked skin. Tummy tucks are another option, along with microdermabrasion and endermologie. All these options are expensive and come with health risks. For this reason, finding a natural alternative is highly desirable.

Although it isn’t possible to completely remove stretch marks naturally, applying raw Shea butter can diminish their appearance and help to prevent their development. Shea butter is rich in vitamin A which helps to increase skin elasticity. If you regularly apply Shea butter across your tummy during pregnancy, it’s possible to reduce the formation of stretch marks. Vitamin A helps the skin to become more supple and better accommodate the increase in weight and stretching that occurs throughout pregnancy.

If you already have stretch marks, applying unrefined Shea butter two to three times a day can work to significantly reduce their appearance.
