6 essential oils, effective against stretch marks

Stretch marks are an extremely unpleasant problem that many women and men face. They aggravate the aesthetic appearance of the skin, which also lowers self-esteem.

The most common causes of stretch marks are:

pregnancy
abrupt changes in weight
reduced collagen in the body

Where Stretch Marks Generally Appear:

on the chest
on thighs
on the abdomen
on the top of the hands
on the cross

Fortunately, some essential oils have an extremely good impact on the stretch marks. They penetrate deep into the skin by restoring its elasticity and stimulating the production of collagen. Some oils have the ability to reduce swelling in newly formed stretch marks and reduce redness. Thus fading and shrinking becomes easier.
