Does anyone have an tried and tested remedy for stretch marks???
A lot of people swear by Bio Oil.
My sister’s friend is studying to be a nurse and she also recommends bio oil.
One of my colleagues applied bio oil on her tummy throughout the pregnancy and didn’t have any stretch marks.
Re: Stretch Marks
^ What if someone already has stretch marks. How do you get rid of them?
bio oil does help eliminate stretch marks, along with other things like uneven skin tone, blemishes etc.... i don't know of another remedy, hopefully someone else will have a better answer..
Re: Stretch Marks
the key is to use your creams/lotions/potions when they're still red- thats when they haven't set yet. when they become white, its too late.
Thanks:blush: Ill come back to this one after 8-9 years:p
Re: Stretch Marks
Well stretch marks are very complicated, i have done alot of research on it on net.
Few pointers;
1) Its genetic. So if you are prone to get them you will and all the precautions you take will help only minimise them.
2) Its not only pregnant people or fat people who get stretch marks. They also come with a rapid weight loss, weight gain or growth spurts.
3) Keep hydrated to have your skin supple which will help stay away from stretch marks.
4) If you have stretch marks, skin brushing and massage helps fade them faster. But even if u dont any of that, they wl fade on their own but with time.
5) Tonning helps stretch mark appear less noticeable.
6) Stretch marks appear visible in certain lights and not visible in most lights. So its likely that the other people are not gonna notice your marks as much as you notice them.
I have read on net about cover ups for stretch marks like foundation so you guys can use them if they bother you that much. But overall i think its ok, its nothing alien..almost everyone has them and they rnt visible in most lights so dont fret over it. Just tone up and soon you, yourself wont notice them.

NAHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII :(
stretch marks are for life 
only surgery will remove them
...I have a friend who used cocoa butter (Palmers), twice a day reigiously after she gave birth for about 6 months and she swore that the marks more or less disappeared after this time :)
...think bio-oil is also excellent too..

Well they must have faded by now and that should be good enough. You can always moisturize and use skin butters and exfoliate to keep the skin soft and healthy looking. You can't get rid of them totally without surgery. Even lasers wl only help fade them more n make them appear close to the rest of yr skin but they cant get rid of them.
Don't bother too much. Like i said, its only you notice them that much honestly.
