Whether you have recently given birth or suffered the loss of a few pounds, you may require some miracle oil to prevent your skin from tearing and stretch marks appearing on your body.

Before we dive into seven oils that help reduce the appearance of stretch marks, let’s look at why they might even occur in the first place.

Why do stretch marks happen?

Stretch marks commonly appear when collagen is destroyed under the skin during puberty (during rapid physical changes), pregnancy  (hormonal fluctuations), or obesity (a rapid increase in body size). Elastic tissue, which keeps skin looking up, contracts and causes the layers of skin to tear. The deeper the tears, the more scarring on the outer layer of skin appears, giving us stretch marks.

At this point, you might be wondering how oils can help prevent such a thing from happening?

Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts with many uses, including promoting healthy cell growth and reducing scarring. For example, Nessa Scar Savior, which is available in our C-Section Care Kits is a blend of essential oils known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties.

1.    Lavender Oil for Stretch Marks

Lavender oil is perhaps most commonly known as a calming agent, tasty tea, tasty addition, or a great way to relax. But did you know it’s also one of the most versatile essential oils available? Lavender essential oil is known for its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties. It means it can help shrink the affected area by improving the blood flow to the skin cells.

Additionally, lavender can rejuvenate your skin by boosting collagen production. You’ll often see stretch marks fade with improved hydration, which results in better elasticity and tissue regeneration.

2. Rosehip Oil for Stretch Marks

Rosehip seed is another fantastic option if you’re looking for an end to your stretch mark woes. Calming scarring, reducing redness, and promoting rapid tissue growth, this oil naturally contains fatty acids perfect for nourishing damaged skin cells.

Did you know that rosehip oil contains essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6) that reduce redness, dry patches, scars, and other skin irritations?  In addition, rosehip seed helps promote collagen production, allowing your skin to heal faster with fewer imperfections left behind.

3.    Carrot Seed Oil for Stretch Marks

Carrot seed essential oil is one of the most effective oils on the market to nourish damaged skin cells. The antioxidants in carrot seeds help protect your body from free radical damage  (while also anti-inflammatory). It also has anti-aging, rejuvenating and skin-firming properties.

The fatty acids in carrot seeds are beneficial in repairing damaged skin cells that any form of bodily stress has destroyed. If you’ve recently lost weight or feel self-conscious about the appearance of your body due to stretch marks, then this oil is ideal for you.

It’s also perfect if you’re suffering from sunburn, chapped lips, acne scars, dry patches and other irritations because it works as an anti-inflammatory to reduce redness and repair damaged tissue.

4. Rosemary Oil for Stretch Marks

This essential oil has many benefits in maintaining healthy-looking skin. These include antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiviral properties wrapped up in an excellent, neat little package.

Rosemary also helps increase blood flow, allowing better delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells. The more oxygen your cells receive, the faster they can regenerate. Plus, increased blood flow allows your body to heal itself quicker by working double time! There’s no secret why rosemary is an essential component in most skincare products.

5.    Frankincense Oil for Stretch Marks

This oil may be older than you, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still relevant today. As one of the world’s oldest known remedies, frankincense contains anti-inflammatory properties that reduce redness and soothe irritated tissue while promoting healthy cell growth nearby.

Frankincense oil will reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks and help to fade existing ones. This oil may also help those with acne, psoriasis, dermatitis, and eczema because its antimicrobial properties inhibit bacterial growth on the skin.

6. Helichrysum Oil for Stretch Marks

This excellent oil is another fantastic choice. Known as a ‘miracle,’ essential oil helichrysum has some pretty excellent benefits. It can strengthen connective tissue, making it suitable for quickly healing wounds like scars and stretch marks. Additionally, it will firm up saggy or wrinkled skin and smooth out blemishes.

The medicinal properties of helichrysum ensure healthy cell production, reduce scarring and prevent future stretch marks. It is because its anti-inflammatory properties protect the skin from further damage while reducing redness so that your skin can naturally regenerate.

7. Argan Oil for Stretch Marks

As a natural moisturizer, argan oil will nourish and soften dry or damaged skin cells, making it an ideal choice in terms of skincare (especially regarding stretch marks). It has a high concentration of vitamin E, which works to restore elasticity in the skin when there’s been physical trauma such as weight gain or pregnancy. Vitamin E also helps to reduce the appearance of scarring.

The fatty acids found in argan oil are fantastic at repairing damaged skin cells which any form of bodily stress has destroyed. If you’ve recently lost weight or feel self-conscious about the appearance of your body due to stretch marks, then this oil is ideal for you.

It’s also perfect if you’re suffering from sunburn, chapped lips, acne scars, dry patches, and other irritations because it works as an anti-inflammatory to reduce redness and repair damaged tissue.

Wrapping Up!

As you can see, there are some great essential oils for stretch marks available. Now it’s time to choose one or try them all! With their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and skin-healing properties, these oils will help reduce the appearance of stretch marks while also helping your skin naturally regenerate. No matter your goal, these essential oils will assist you on the road towards achieving it.

Be Aware

If you’re considering using any essential oils during pregnancy, it’s important to consult your GP, midwife or a qualified practitioner.

In some circumstances, it’s best not to use essential oils at all. Don’t use any oils if:

  • You have a history of miscarriage.
  • You have had any vaginal bleeding in this pregnancy.
  • You have epilepsy.
  • You have heart problems.
  • You have diabetes, blood clotting problems, or have thyroid, liver or kidney disease.
  • You are taking antibiotics or antihistamines, as the oils may interfere with the way the medicines work.
