Stretch marks—no one would want to have them. No one loves them. However, everyone can have them. Many people think that only pregnant women are the ones that can be affected by skin condition but the truth is, these can also affect people who have experience rapid weight loss, muscle growth and undergone hormonal changes.
Truth is, most stretch marks fade over time. But if you are in a hurry to get rid of that ugly scar in your skin, there are plenty of ways on how to get rid of stretch marks. Here are some of them:

Essential Oils
Using essential oils is effective in removing stretch marks because it promotes blood circulation, making sure that the skin will receive the blood flow and oxygen it needs to look healthy.

Apple Cider Vinegar
It contains malic and acetic acid which are both useful in lightening scars. Put vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray on the affected area and allow it to dry at night. Wash it in the morning then apply moisturizer to the skin.
Additionally, using a Stretch Mark Cream works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin which firms the body and reduces the depth of stretch marks.
