1.
Buy a cream specifically designed for stretch marks from the drugstore or make your own by purchasing a 100-percent cocoa cutter stick and some vitamin E oil.
2.
Make your own stretch mark cream by gently heating 3 tablespoons of grated cocoa butter in the microwave bowl at 50 percent power until it becomes creamy. Add 1 tablespoon of pure vitamin E oil, pour into a clean jar, and allow to cool.
3.
Take a shower and exfoliate your skin to ensure that there is no dead skin-cell buildup. Use the cream after the shower because skin is at its most absorbent when it is damp.
4.
Massage either the homemade or store-bought cream into your stretch marks, using circular motions. A one-to-two-minute massage will stimulate new skin-cell growth and help your skin absorb the nutrients from the cream.
5.
Use the cream twice each day to prevent and treat stretch marks. The cocoa butter will soften and plump the skin to minimize stretch marks, and the vitamin E will repair damaged skin.
If you would like to give your store-bought cream a boost, add some vitamin E oil.
When making your own cream, do not allow cocoa butter to boil or overheat in the microwave.
