I have noticed since I have lost the weight I have got stretch marks in my skin. Anyone have any suggestions of ways to make them go away or minimize the look of them?

    There's not too much you can do but when I was pregnant I used Palmer's Cocoa Butter to help minimize their appearance.

    They will probably fade over time (mine have), but a self tanner is good for blending them in the meantime.

    Are they new or old ones that you didnt releases you had because your skin was stretched? your skin might adjust and firm up a bit.

    There is nothing you can do to get rid of stretch marks. They are a scar on the skin. They fade over time but nothing will make them go away. Sorry but true.

    I've had stretch marks my whole life. They fade over time, and you can use Palmers cocoa butter to minimize them. Also, a tan will help hide them, whether its tanning in the sun, a bed, or a self tanner.
