1. Applying Castor Oil

Castor oil is an extremely popular and common treatment method used to address issues relating to the skin and the epidermis. Castor oil has powerful healing and strengthening properties. It can also contribute to the nourishment of the skin. Castor oil can be effectively used to mitigate the results of stretch marks. After applying the castor oil on the affected region, it is allowed to remain for about 5 to 10 minutes. During this period the oil seeps into the skin and its uppermost layers of skin tissue. After that mild heat is applied to the oiled region using a hot water bottle or a heating pad. If repeated regularly for a month, this method can yield rich dividends.
