As summer approaches and bare skin becomes exposed we all tend to become that little bit more self conscious of stretch marks and scars. Help may be at hand however in the form of an unusual natural remedy from Australia. 18-06-2009
There are numerous products said to help with stretch marks, but few have received such high praise and accolades as an ancient Aboriginal remedy from Down Under. Whilst emu oil is seen to be a fantastic moisturiser, packed full of important Omega Fatty Acids, needed to keep your skin healthy, and is quickly absorbed with comedogencity tests showing it has a score of less than1, meaning it won’t clog up pores, it has another unique property that stands it out from any other products. Moisturising your skin and keeping it subtle may help with stretch marks, but studies have shown emu oil also has an ability to speed up skin cell regeneration at twice the speed of normal1. Whilst another study showed that skin cells that had previously stopped growing and had emu oil applied began growing and dividing again2. Whilst this unique property has led to the likes of Demi Moore and Goldie Hawn swearing by its anti-aging properties, as it may help reduce the appearance of wrinkles etc, it also means it could help with scars and stretch marks as recently reported in the press with teen heartthrob Zac Efron applying it every day to help reduce the appearance of an appendix scar. The proof is in the pudding as they say though and emu oil was recently named as one of the best products to help reduce stretch marks by the leading pregnancy magazine Pregnancy and Birth.
