Removing Stretch Marks By Using Cocoa Butter

By Sean T Saunders


Cocoa butter is actually a type of vegetable fat made from cocoa beans that has very potent hydrating abilities when applied topically over the skin. The moisturizing properties of cocoa butter have led to it being utilized in a large range of cosmetic products for example hair conditioners, lip balms and skin creams. Stretch mark skin creams based on cocoa butter are also a popular use for the hydrating vegetable fat because it helps to retain flexibility and suppleness in the skin layers and also fade stretch mark scars. The use of cocoa butter to get rid of stretch marks goes back centuries and it is well known in holistic medicine as one of the very best natural skin moisturizers and skin protectors.

Does cocoa butter get rid of stretch marks? Because of its powerful moisturizing properties cocoa butter is especially helpful for use as being a preventative remedy for stretch marks before they begin to form. Skin damage in the top three layers of the skin are the key causes for stretch marks because the skin gets stretched abruptly and forcefully owing to rapid growth or weight gain. Making use of cocoa butter helps to keep the skin layers hydrated and flexible making sure that it can stretch further before stretch mark scars result due to tearing in the skin layers. During, as well as after the growth or weight gain, the same suppleness and suppleness are needed from the skin so the cocoa butter must be used on a daily basis. As opposed to using cocoa butter to get rid of stretch marks in the later stages, it is better used to prevent skin damage and as being a effective treatment for stretch mark recovery.

How fast does cocoa butter work? Two of the properties of cocoa butter which make it such an effective moisturizer are that it is very quickly absorbed by the skin layers and plus it also moves deep in to it. In the normal room temperature, cocoa butter is a solid but when it is applied to the skin heat from the body liquefies it so it penetrates deeply and quickly into the top skin layers. There are also a large amount of antioxidants contained in cocoa butter and that protects the skin layers and aids in repairing damage.

Are there any undesirable negative effects to cocoa butter? You can use cocoa butter with very little fear of any side effects unless you are one among the very rare individual who is allergic to chocolate. Cocoa butter is made from the same source as chocolate. If an allergic reaction takes place the easy remedy is to stop using the cream.

How effective is cocoa butter? Cocoa butter is one of the most effective natural and holistic skin moisturizers that a person can use. Its ability to be easily absorbed deep into the top three layers of the skin that are affected by damage from stretch mark scars make it an effective ingredient in both preventing and treating stretch mark scars.

You have some easy tricks that can make cocoa butter more effectual. Before applying cocoa butter you need to take a warm bath so that your body retains the warmth. That heat will help the cocoa butter to penetrate deep in to the inner layers of the skin where all of the damage from the stretch marks happens. Cocoa butter is a strong moisturizer so it will help to soften scar tissue in your stretch marks. Exfoliating the skin on a regular basis will remove the softened scar skin tissue to help eradicate your stretch marks. You can also use cocoa butter as a massage cream to help reduce stretch marks.
