Go Away Stretch Marks A closely guarded secret that you must possess if you ever want those stretch marks to vanish. |

I tryed everything but it id not work. i figurd gettin ginvolved with sports would reduce tham, but i just gained more musle and they came more!!!
I tryed every lotion there is but Not coco butter lotion i put that on about 2 to 3 times a day and in about 2 months i actually found out that it actually worked:)
And try to m[@]age olive oil on them and that helped alot to
please, anymore?
Okay. I have stretch marks because as soon as I hit puber I shot up all around. There isn't a lott but I look at other girls and feel bad. One sid eis worse than the other. I've been trying coacoa butter lotion and m[@]age in circles but nothing works.
PLEASE HELPPP!
someone suggested to simply use heavy moisture lotions like Nivea, St Ives, or generic cocoa butter to keep my skin hydrated throughout the day (nothing cheap or watered down like Suave). Using the lotion on a daily basis can help keep your skin hydrated (also the obvious--eating healthy and drinking lots of water) helps you skin adjust to changes like stretching and growing.
i'm currently using a vitamin K creme, and it works pretty well...i've used it before, but haven't in a loooong time. i bought it at Marshalls, i think.
don't worry, previous 15 year old poster--stretch marks aren't the end of the world, men will still adore you with them. i've had plenty of men think i'm awesome, and i've had stretch marks (mostly on my love handles/sides) since i was 10-11 years old.
i'm guessing the lemon because of its acidity--gets rid of the excess dry, flaky skin, which can help fade the stretch marks.
so, through experience--slough off the dead skin, and m[@]age a moisturizer in.
exfoliator: mix sea salt (smaller stuff) with any kind of natural oil you want/not allergic to (sunflower, olive, vitamin e, etc.) so you can make a oily paste to m[@]age on in the shower. it's very good for your skin!
I'm thirteen and I have stretch marks on my hips, thighs, back, and breasts. If everyone can please stop saying that you only get stretch marks because of being fat! I'm not super skinny, but I'm not fat!!!!! So calm down!!!!
and they are on my boobs, so exercise wont help as either i am wierd or we dont have very muscly boobs =]
i have been using bio oil since december, its very expensive, and i dont even know if it is doing anything!
Well if it's not that, It can also be from taking really hot showers. When I was younger I lovedd to take steaming showers, and when i was done, i would get really itchy and scratch my body alot without moisturizing my skin....
It led to many many many stretch marks that I really hate. I still have not found anything that had helped much, but Like someone said in a previous post, I've seen somewhat of a fading while using thicker creams.
Hope this helps some! :-D
I have marks on my upper legs(inside and back) and it gets really inbarasing cuz i am really involved with sports. some sports that i do ( voleybal and swimming) can become very unplesant. Why do i have streck marks??? I mean i bigger than most girl in my grade (8th) but its not like I'm fat. I need some one to kinda explain this to me more before i freack out.
:-(
:-(
i tried vitamin e oil but it didnt work :-(
my friend suggested i use ...wait for it...equal parts methylated spirits and pure glycerin!
dont know how,but its working
i am scared to put my bath suit or shorts on because of this it all on my thigh
THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE SUGGESTIONS I WILL TRY THEM AND WILL LET THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED HOW IT GOES.
we all have to face stretch marks at some point in our lives.This is natural.im 22 years of age and ive had stretch for the past year.ive been using cocoa fat and palmer's cocoa butter along with olive oil.and honestly they seem to be disappearing.
Like many of the people on here i've tried it all!!! The best remedy first and foremost not worring about then! you know mind over matter. then go to any store that sale vitmins and purchase a bottle of Flaxseed oil (@ Walmart $5 for a 100 caps)
Flaxseed oil is one of natures miracles. it will not only help with skin conditions(acne, redness, scars etc) it will also aid in heart health, nails and hair growth and strength . It also aided me in losing 60lbs last year without even execising!!
To help with scretch marks i take about 20 caps(opened to get the oil out) then add to 1/2 cup olive oil. I then added this mixture to all my favorite lotions and body creams and message it into your skin. You may need to make more but keep the measurements the same.
Also this mixture can be added to your hair conditioners or warm it for a hot oil treatment, body scrubs (1/2 cup brown sugar +1/2 cup honey), rub it into your cuticles, rub on lips in winter, the possibilities are endless!!!
I hope this is helpful! Good Luck!
Also, the main reason I got stretch marks was because I did my weight training excercises before my cardio, which wasnt good for my skin because I wasnt warmed up and loose. Make sure did get warmed up or sweat a little before weights, so your body and muscles arent tensed up.
Stretch marks are when the epidermal layer of the skin was stretched to its max, so for pregnant women, men trying to lose weight or are gaining weight etc. Apply and follow the recipe I gave above to prevent stretch marks from forming, your best bet is safer there.
White or silver stretch marks arent as noticable as you think, dont worry people wont notice. Purple ones with get better with care. Remember 8 out of 10 women get stretch marks. Along with many men as well.
well i hope bio-oil works for some of you if you try it........i guess this is just life huh??
about two months ago I realized that I was devloping red marks on my upper inner thigh, and on the outside of my thigh.
they really disgust me, and I cry about them all the time.
i am not fat at all, and I have always loved wearing swimsuit and short shorts, but this summer is going to be different.
i am never going to be able to wear what I love to in the summer,
and I honestly can't wait for summer to be over,
I don't want to feel like this, but I think I have to.
pleas someone help me, I can't deal with these horrible marks on me.
thank you
Let me know if anybody tries it and how it works for anybody!
I am currently trying a mixture of 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup aloe vera gel, and 6 capsules (broken) of Vitamin E oil. Mix and refrigerate overnight.
The strech marks are deep and red now, so I will update everyone on how it works for me over the next few months. I tried using Cocoa Butter while pregnant with my 1st child religiously, but did not work.
Hopefully this will work. Wish me luck!

I have heard that emu oil really helps with stretchmarks. What a lot of stretchmark products lack is the ability to get down past the first few layers of skin. That\'s why they may fade a little bit, but not all the way. From what research I have been doing I have found out that emu oil gets down deep into the skin. I guess it is supposed to mimick something in our own skin or something like that. Anyway, I plan on trying it mixed with maybe bio oil or some other kinds of oils like olive or flaxseed and vitamin E oil. If it works on my stubborn marks that I have had for years then I will post my results and let you know if it works. I\'m just so tired of buying the expensive creams that have always let me down.
The Bible says that true beauty in a woman comes from fear of the Lord (meaning respect and reverence). I have that, but hopefully the emu and other oils may work too. God bless everyone. Let me know if the emu oil works if any of you try it too.

I have strecth marks on back and on legs. I am very unhappy to have these strecth marks and how can i remove these strecth marks? please help me.........
Anyways, stretch marks aren't so horrible. But I am going to try to using glycerin [local walmart] and see if that will help fade them. Mine haven't faded, and didn't start off pink. We're all different. Hell, I've met guys that have them. My boyfriend has one. Seriously, one stretch mark. It's diagonal going from his underarm pointing to his collar bone. xD Don't worry about the stretch marks. If anything is ever said about them, knock the goob off their high horse. =] Confidence is the key!

Just to let you know, I am fifteen, and YES, like everyone else, I have stretch marks! But you know what? I am truly not really worried about them! Because I know that it's not what's on the outside but on the inside that counts.
I am heartbroken by what the world is shoving down womens' throats like "you HAVE to be PERFECT and a have a super s@xy image to be loved." Pish posh!
I don't show off my body - I try to keep a sweet spirit and attitude and smile, and you know what? I have had many admirers! :) That's really what matters! If he will leave you because of stretch marks than he's not a real man and he doesn't really love you. Don't even try to impress him.
So yes, you can try some of these natural remedies with me, but please - let's all remember just how wonderfully we were made in God's image and that though we may not be perfect (who is?! the models are digitally and cosmetically altered - they probably wish they look like their own picture!), we are to take care of our bodies the best we can and keep a wonderful attitude! Don't stress over it, and remember - I read that a statistic shows that 90% of women have stretch marks! YOU'RE NOT ALONE! :) Stretch mark power! lol!

im 17 years old, and have bad stretch marks on my tummy, but after a week i saw the colouration begin to dissapear and the results are only getting better. i was really skeptical and didnt think it would work, but it has! it hasnt worked as well for my scarring though, but im so happy to see the changes in my stretch marks.
Im 13 yrs old .. goin on 14 and well i didnt realise that so many gurls/women had the same problem as me. Yer i have stretch marks on my hips and legs but you no what..dont worry about them. I know they might not look that appealing but they will fade over time. Girls just be happy with the way you are because there are some people in this world that are far worse. If you want to wear a swimsuit .. go for it no one is stopping you people wont care if you dont either ;-)
Have fun with life cause its too short to waste
Me again after few months and I can say it works! First you all need patience because the home remedies needs time like minimum 6 months, so I wrote my first message on 27.04 and before that I applaied for 2 months the sweet almond oil, and after that I tryied the mix with olive oil, shea butter and sweet almond oil, but I can say that after all this months experimenting a lot I found out that the best way is mixing everything together to have the powerful weapon against stretch marks and I mean: shea butter, olive oil, sweet almond oil + sunflower oil, coconut oil, cocoa oil, jojoba oil, avogado oil, wheat germ oil, argan oil, shea oil, palm oil + vitamine E, A, K + rosemary oil, levender oil, chamomile oil, castor oil and aloe vera gel . Try this!
My stretch marks are 80 % gone!You will see a BIG difference around 3-4 month, I have still the minimum 6 months to finish so... I will let you know in november if they all vanished or not:-D I mean the deep one's...but any way I'm happy with my result
I'm useing this kind of treatment fot about 9 months (4months sweet almond oil and 5months ''the mix'') and the stretch marks did faded, in some parts are GONE, but where they were deep I still have them, they changed the appearence and I'm ok with that...I still have to eliminate the one's that left, so be patient and moisturize your skin.
Hope it helps!
I'm 23 years old nearly 24 had stretch marks for years and prob spent the same amount on buying a house on so many different stretch marks products and its driving me nuts. I have found Palmers cream and Scar serum from boots mixed together to be very good and my stretch marks seems to be fading. I am also going to mix wisky, Aplha Hydroxic Acid, Egg yoke, line and lavander oil and anything else i can find that i no that can get rid of stetch marks. Not sure about demo roller cz it gave me a rash. If you got sensitive skin be very careful wot you use. Exfoiliating your skin everyday helps. Also I notice changing your diet by eating healthy helps and do some toning exercises to tone the skin everyday. Try eating broccoli and yogurts and loads of water to hydrate the skin. I am going to try some more things and i am not going to give up till a get the complete solutions to total GET RID OF THEM! xxx
Take care!
sounds strange right but it does work and you will see results!!!!!! Just rub egg whites on them and let it dry than rinse with ice cold water don't wash it off and you will see results the next day Everybody has eggs and its simple!!!!!
i apply that first on my inner thighs then,
i put tea tree oil i m[@]age it
when will i see results will that help me get rid of stretch marks???:-[]
I am 24 yrs old and I have 2 boys.
My oldest is 3 yrs old and my youngest is 1 yr old.
Before I got pregnant I was very thin weighing 127 or so but with both my kids I gained akmost 45 lbs during my pregnancy. At this time I weight 111 lbs and I am 5'5 I know I am underweight but I can't help it I eat normal and don't excercise. With all this weigth lost I was left with a small saggy pudge and white stretchmarks... I would love to know how to get rid of them since I have no more weight on me this is what bothers me :-(
I've been reading and I am tempted to try everything but any idea what works best???
I never felt so strong. I can feel the spell working through me and I feel so positive again. Thanks to priestesssmunak@gmail.com for her wonderful spell that took me off the hook.
