Before you spend a cent on expensive creams, let me show you some stretch mark home remedies that are easy, and really work!

First of all, if you are trying to figure out how to get rid of those pesky stretch marks, then you’re not alone. Most women get stretch marks at some point in their life, whether early or later on.

Some skin types are much more prone to stretch marks than others, and like most things in life, genetics play the main role here. 

Causes of Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are most commonly caused by one of the following:

• Growth spurts – Teenagers commonly get stretch marks during periods of rapid growth.  These stretch marks are usually most prominent in the breasts, buttocks, thighs and lower back.
• Rapid weight gain (muscle or fat)  - Gaining muscle or fat too quickly can also cause stretch marks virtually anywhere on the body.  
• Pregnancy – Many women get stretch marks on their their stomach after pregnancy.

In each case, the actual cause of stretch marks is due to the skin expanding so rapidly that it causes trauma.  The trauma to the skin results in scar tissue, which appear initially as reddish lines which usually turn white later.
