Women are prone to developing stretch marks especially post pregnancy; men on the other hand may also develop this skin condition after losing so much weight.
To get rid of stretch marks, using natural methods are very popular.

You may repeat this technique as often as you want until stretch marks have completely lightened. Using baking soda will also help in lightening skin and blemishes.
You can use baking soda to spot treat stretch marks by mixing baking soda with a little water to form a paste. Simply apply over the skin using small circular massaging strokes. Repeat the application twice or thrice a day until stretch marks disappear.
