What are some things at home that you can use to get rid of stretch marks and scars?

I%26#039;m extremely low on money, I can%26#039;t afford the fancy lotions and things. But I have scars and marks all up and down my legs that aren%26#039;t very attractive at all. And have stretch marks on my butt, which have kept me away from the pool and a bikini all summer.





Are there things at home (like food or something) that I can use to get rid of stretch marks and scars? If so, on average, how long do you think it would take for them to go away?





Thanks for the help!|||I will start off with a few cheap, easy solutions. Try using a skin brush while you are showering will increase circulation which will help the skin to heal and help reduce stretch marks. There are also many creams you can find at your local pharmacy or grocery store that will moisturize your stretch marks, and make them more flexible. Examples of these are cocoa butter and creams or oils containing vitamin E. If none of the creams or oils are effective, you can also talk to your doctor about getting a prescription cream to reduce stretch marks.





Your diet can also help reduce your stretch marks. Eating food high in zinc and silica will help with your collagen formation. Also, eating foods with essential fatty acids, such as certain vegetables and fish oils, help form cell walls. Eating foods high in vitamins A, C, and E will also help.

|||scars are permanent :/ sorry


you can fade them with cocoa butter but thats a lotion, its not that expensive but it works for many. Ive heard vapor rub works too, but that might be a myth|||scars of any sort are damage to the skin and as such are permanent.
