Stretch marks

SouthernMommy11

I gained 45 pounds being pregnant with my son. I lost all the weight but now have some stretch marks. I know I cant get them to go away completely but any tips on fading them??? Im 119 and would like to wear a bikini!

They fade with time but I have had no luck with any products etc

Sadly, the only thing that worked (some) for me was time...and a little tanning. although a friend had more permanent results with a tummy tuck (not feasable on my budget) and supposedly Kim Kardashian had them lasered away (again, not on my budget)

They aren't the cutest and the first time back in a 2 piece for me was a test of wills but honestly, once I got over it I was fine. and they really will fade.

You could try DermaDoctor Shrinking Beauty or Palmers Stretch Marks Lotion

Time fades them.
That's about it.
I have a thousand of them and I still rock a bikini! Don't worry.

So I dont have kids, but have stretch marks..lol ...my mom since I grew up swore on the powers of Aloe Vera (straight from the plant) . If you look up aloe vera for skin, it has over 200 wonderful healing vitamin properties. My grandma used it on her face everyday since I could remember and she died at 80 without wrinkles ( I am NOT exxagerating).

So long story short..ive used them on my arms for stretch marks an they were remarkably reduced ..were red and now are a lighter white..i can only imagine if i keep it up they may even go away.

Oh yeah..aloe vera produces new cells .its like a natural botox for the fce!! wooo..who knew my mom and grandmas old school ways had any relevance!!

I will have to look into Aloe Vera! I have no kids, but have stretch marks on my belly from putting on weight a little to fast! I am in the losing process now though, so feeling good! I usually rub this scar oil I got from a gypsy fair on the, it has heaps of vitamins in it, and it was doing okay

I am homeopathic. So before any product I will try somthing natural,especialy cuz I dont know how a product will react to my skin. I figure if its natural it wont do damage (jsut my thinking). Aloe vera is amazing. My mother also uses it and though she is 63, you would never guess...... Just research "aloe vera on face" or "aloe vera for skin"...you will be amazed. I PROMISE. good luck.

Thank you everyone!

No matter what you put on your skin, you can't put skin that has stretched back together again. They do fade,but they will still be there. I have so many stretch marks it's not funny. Some are really wide because my skin stretched so much, but whatever. I still have every right to wear a bathing suit and so do you!

I have them. I don't even notice them anymore but they are there... Two kids that I love caused them. I still rock a bikini

They will fade in time. Just be patient.

I had full term twins (roughly 13lb of baby). I have some UH-MAZING stretch marks, but when I at the weight I want to reach, I will be wearing a bikini. Because I can. :-) You should too.

I recently read that coconut oil can help, I've also heard of people putting lemon juice on them. I haven't tried either one, so I'm not sure if either work. I have tried store bought products and they do not work!

They are your warrior stripes, wear them with pride Just look at your child and think that is what you got them for. I just had my 2nd 4 months ago, and I've got them and I am sure will always have them. One thing to always remind yourself of: who really looks perfect in a bathing suit? NOBODY! Nothing wrong with some stretch marks though!
