Some people swear by sugar as a naturopathic microdermabrasion method.

So this home remedy seems worth a try.

Rubbing a sugar scrub on the skin will exfoliate the area. To do this:

· Mix one cup sugar with 1/4 cup of a softening agent, like almond oil or coconut oil, before mixing to the consistency of wet beach sand.

· Add some lemon juice.

· Scrub the mixture on the part of your body where the stretch marks are.

· Repeat several times a week while in the shower, making sure to rub the mixture on for 8-10 minutes.
