Lemon juice
Lemon juice is another effective remedy to fade away stretch marks on the skin. Lemons have a natural bleaching property that can help lighten the skin and in the marks too in the process. The acidic nature of lemons further add to the effect. All you need to do is squeeze the juice of a lemon or two depending on the area you need to use it on.

You can apply body lotion if your skin feels too stretched and dry.
You will have to use it on a regular basis, preferably twice a week to see a change in a few days.
