However, mixed results have been found from this method. For some people it worked, and for some, it actually hasn’t left any positive results. There is no trace of doubt that cocoa butter takes a lot of time to cure stretch marks completely.

To get rid of stretch marks with cocoa butter, you can follow the following tips:

  • First you have to wash the affected area with a gentle soap or cleanser and have to pat dry the skin with a towel.
  • Next, you need to apply cocoa better on the skin affected with stretch marks. You also have to ensure that stretch marks are completely covered with the butter.
  • Then you have to rub the butter on the skin in a circular motion. This will be a massage, which would help the skin to absorb the butter in a better manner.
  • After the application of the butter is over, rinse the skin with cold water and dry the area with a towel.

• Easy Ways to Hide Stretch Marks

  Having stretch marks is embarrassing and that is why people look for ways to hide them. If you are going through a treatment which will take quite some time to show the results, then you have to try some effective solutions to hide your stretch marks in the meantime. There are so many choices for you. All the methods are simple, but quite effective. In this article, you can read about some of the best way to hide stretch marks, according to your need and affordability.

  These ways are:

  • Using foundation on the affected area is quite effective. All you have to do is to get a foundation which matches your skin tone. Make sure that it is water proof, so that it will not fade away overtime due to sweating. In this way, you can even enjoy swimming and pool parties without getting uncomfortable. It will be better if you opt for liquid foundation. Skin can absorb it well and thus, it will stay for a long time.
  • You can use concealers. It is true that you will have to spend more time for hiding the scars this way, but you will be able to achieve great results. You won’t have to work on the total area, just covering the marks and blending in to your natural skin tone will do the trick.
  • If you are thinking that these are all old suggestions and you need something new, then you can try tattoos and henna print. These are unique ways of hiding stretch marks. The affected area won’t stand out prominently because of a henna print or tattoo covering up the area. Thus, you can enjoy the freedom of wearing short and sleek dresses. However, henna prints and tattoos are meant for hiding stretch marks temporarily. You may go for permanent tattoos to hide marks permanently. Though, it is not a stretch marks solution but merely a thing to hide scars.
