Dealing with stretch marks.

XaviAvant

Ok, so I've lost a lot of weight over the past year. Which is just excellent and all but now I've noticed I've got stretch marks everywhere. On my belly, under my arms, on my legs, everywhere. I was under the impression that you only got stretch marks when you gained a lot of weight or had a baby, and I don't think I'll be capable of giving birth in this lifetime so any ideas on how to stop them from spreading or to make them go away?

i have always used shea butter. I have 3 kids and never got stretch marks because I always rubbed shea butter on my skin. There's a new product called bio oil that is suppossed to help. You can get in any drug store. I havn't personally used it but I've heard it's pretty good. Also, stretch marks do fade in time so don't get too upset.

I found this on WebMD. http://www.webmd.com/baby/features/stretch-marks-getting-under-your-skin.

Hope it helps.

I got stretch marks on my thighs/hips when I was going through puberty and grew very tall very quickly. I grew like... 5/6 inches in a year I think. I was as skinny as a bean pole as well. The darkness of color has faded over time but I will always have them so I don't have any advice, just want to share another way stretch marks can occur.

cocoa butter works too!
