If you have been wondering what potatoes can do (other�than make�chips!), then there are a lot of reasons to add potatoes into your diet. They consist�of vitamins and minerals which are very important for the restoration of the skin cells. So, whenever you are preparing rosemary potatoes for friends or family, steal one and rub it on your skin, literally. But not in front of them. That’s just weird.

“� For an effective result”�cut the potato into two slices. Rub the potato over the stretch marks, make sure the slice is juicy.�Wait for�the juice to dry on the skin,�then wash it off with warm water.

3. Use olive oil

Olive oil is a rich source of vitamin E, which is well known for skin maintenance. Olive oil is not only meant for cooking but also for reconditioning of your skin. The idea here is that application of olive oil on your skin will soften it a great deal, and which helps�it to expand.

4. You can use sugar
