Stretch marks are a part of our anatomy that, frankly, bother us. Not all women have them; some bodies are more prone to them, but sooner or later, we will all see a white stripe that can become an obsession; that's why ActitudFEM shared a homemade anti-stretch mark cream with us. These stripes that cut across our bodies appear due to sudden changes in weight and after pregnancy. They are caused by the rupture of elastic fibers when the skin stretches too much. Another cause is the natural growth of the body. We know that these little marks bother us all, so we went to the Coordinator of the Wayak Spa at the Viceroy Riviera Maya Resort, Brianda Aldape, to share some secrets proven by her clients at this charming resort in Quintana Roo. Brianda gave us the recipe to prepare a completely homemade anti-stretch mark cream, using ingredients that we can all find at the supermarket. Like any treatment, the key is consistency, so apply it at least once a week and do it for several months to see long-term results.  

Ingredients

• ½ beet
• 2 peaches
• ½ cup of almond oil

Blend the beet and peaches and place the mixture in a glass bowl. Add the almond oil and mix until a thick cream forms. Apply to the areas affected by stretch marks and leave it on for 15 minutes. Rinse off with cold water.  

Benefits

Beet contains natural carotenoids and antioxidants, while almond oil provides the fatty acids and vitamin E that the skin needs to regenerate.
