Beauty Hacks4 natural ways to remove stretch marks

While pregnancy is the most common cause of stretch marks, they can also occur as a result of dramatic weight gain or loss.
Stephanie Rothstein
Stretch marks are generally painless and can appear anywhere on the body. They are very common on the abdomen after childbirth.
As skin is stretched, the collagen is weakened and its normal production cycle is interrupted and damaged. Stretch marks can also appear by dramatic weight gain or loss.
Stretch marks are perfectly natural and they won’t cause you any health problems, but, if you want to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, here are three natural ways to do it.
  • Lemon juice
Lemon juice is a really simple remedy for stretch marks and it will help to fade other types of scars and blemishes too. It is naturally acidic and it has a mild bleaching effect.
  1. Rub fresh lemon juice gently onto the stretch marks using circular motions. Allow the lemon juice to soak into your skin for at least 10 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.
  2. Another option is to mix equal quantities of cucumber juice and lemon juice and apply the mixture on the stretch marks.
  • Eggs
Eggs are a rich source of protein. For stretch marks, you want to use only the egg whites, which contain amino acids and proteins.
Whip the whites of two eggs gently with a fork. Clean the affected skin area with water and then apply a thick layer of egg whites with a makeup brush.
  1. Allow the egg whites to dry completely and then rinse the area with cold water.
  2. Finally apply some olive oil on the skin to keep it moisturized.
  3. Repeat the process daily for at least two weeks and watch for positive result.
  • Olive oil
Another tip on how to get rid of stretch marks is to use olive oil, as it contains ingredients that moisturise, cleanse, and nourish the skin, and it’s probably one of the oldest remedies for stretch marks that there is.
It also has the ability to help fight the damaging effect of free radicals on the collagen and improve the blood flow to the skin.
  1. Simply massage warm olive oil into the skin every day and watch the stretch marks fade.
  • Sugar
Natural white sugar is one of the best natural remedies to get rid of stretch marks. You can use the sugar to exfoliate your skin.

  1. Mix a tablespoon of raw sugar with some almond oil and a few drops of lemon juice. Mix it well and apply it on the stretch marks and other skin areas.
  2. Gently rub the mixture on the skin for a few minutes every day before taking a shower.
  3. Do this for a month or so and watch your stretch marks become lighter.

AllardyceEngland boss defends decision to omit Barkley

The 22-year-old has enjoyed an impressive start to the Premier League season and many observers felt he had done enough to deserve a place in the 23-man group named on Sunday.

England manager Sam Allardyce has defended the decision to leave Everton midfielder Ross Barkley out of his first squad for the 2018 World Cup qualifier in Slovakia at the weekend.
The 22-year-old has enjoyed an impressive start to the Premier League season and many observers felt he had done enough to deserve a place in the 23-man group named on Sunday.
However, Allardyce, who succeeded Roy Hodgson as manager after England's underwhelming Euro 2016 campaign, said there was still time for Barkley to feature in his future plans.
"We have had to make a few difficult decisions and none more so than Ross Barkley," Allardyce told reporters on Monday.
"For him it's disappointing, for me, you have to make these decisions. The door will always be open for Ross but right now I feel the squad I've picked is the right one."
Marcus Rashford also missed out, instead selected for the under-21 squad against Norway, even though the 18-year-old striker featured for England at Euro 2016 and scored Manchester United's injury-time winner against Hull City on Saturday.
"Having international experience in the under-21s will prove invaluable for us further down the line," the former West Ham, Bolton Wanderers and Sunderland manager added.
"If he plays for Manchester United on a regular basis, if he is regularly breaking into the United team then it will be a good basis for inclusion in my squad."
Allardyce, 61, will take his first training session with the players later on Monday with several, most notably Manchester City's goalkeeper Joe Hart, involved in speculation over their club futures ahead of Wednesday's transfer deadline day.
"If Joe arrives today, and I'm sure if there's anything in the pipeline Joe will tell us this may happen. Then we can get ready if it does," Allardyce said.
Slovakia held England to a goalless draw in their last meeting at Euro 2016, a game Allardyce expects will have little bearing on Sunday's meeting in Trnava.
"The tactics will be different when we play them in Slovakia. That team will have to come out to attack us, they're playing at home, whereas in the Euros, we knew that one point was enough for them.
"They were a very sound, solid unit that proved very hard to break down, because they weren't interested in playing any type of attacking football I don't think."

Wayne RooneySam Allardyce confirms forward to retain England captaincy

International Football: England manager Sam Allardyce has confirmed Wayne Rooney will be continuing as the team's captain under his leadership.
Wayne Rooney has retained the England captaincy, Sam Allardyce has announced.
The England manager had refused to confirm whether Rooney would be his skipper since being appointed in July, but said on Monday the Manchester United man will be his skipper.
Rooney took over from Steven Gerrard as England captain in 2014 and his leadership skills were praised by Allardyce, who will lead England for the first time against Slovakia in a World Cup qualifier on Saturday.
"Wayne has been an excellent captain for England and the manner in which he has fulfilled the role made it an easy decision for me to ask him to continue," Allardyce told the Football Association's official website.
"Wayne's record speaks for itself. He is the most senior member of the squad and he is hugely respected by his peers. All of these factors point towards him being the right choice to lead the team.”
Should Rooney be selected for the Slovakia match, he would become England's all-time most-capped outfield player by making his 116th England appearance, moving ahead of David Beckham and trailing only Peter Shilton.
And Allardyce insists he will play as a forward, adding: "It may be that Wayne is listed as a midfielder, but he is playing behind the front man at Manchester United and that, for me, puts it where he has started."

The Gombe State Command of the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), has expressed concern over the use of illicit drugs among children under 15 years.
Mr Aliyu Adole, the state commander of the agency, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Gombe on Monday that the trend was "worsening every day.''
"They (children) use syringe and needles to inject illicit substance to their veins
"The substances embolden them to carry out all sorts of vices, unprotected sex inclusive," he said, adding that the command had arrested many children while in the act.
"We took some of the children to Gombe State Agency for the Control of AIDS and some of them tested positive to the virus,'' he said.
Adole said that some of the children have "scary and unpleasant looks'' due to the adverse reactions of the drugs.
"We have tried to counsel them; we have tried to let them know the repercussions of taking illicit substance, but they do not to listen to us,'' he said.
The commander appealed to parents to monitor the behaviour of their children, stressing that they (parents) have special role to play in assisting them to stay off drugs.
NAN recalled that Child Protection Network (CPN), an NGO in Gombe, has identified increase in the consumption of illicit drugs among children as one of the major challenge the network was tackling.
Malam Yaya Hammari, Adviser, CPN, recently called on parents to always observe the behavioural pattern of their children and report any sudden and unexplained change.

With a host of players ahead of him in the team, several reports have suggested a loan move for the forward, but Akpom believes he can get his chance at Arsenal.
The 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Hull City where he scored three goals from 35 appearances and Akpom thinks he has learnt a lot from his time away from the club.
 
"I think that obviously reserve football and first team football is a big difference. The Championship is tough, playing games week in week out and experiencing it is a good experience," Akpom told Arsenal’s official website.
"I think that any player if you go out on loan and get as many games as possible you’re going to come back experienced and I think I have."
