Stretch marks?

I've lost ~20lbs so far and I'm noticing my stomach seems more prominent? Is this going to get worse? Is there a way to prevent it? O:

I am having the same worry.
I have only lost 5kgs but everyday I put bio oil on, they really seem to be fading down.
Maybe give it a shot, can't hurt to try.0 -
What is bio oil?0

Bio oil is used to fade scarring and marks I've been using it for a lot of scarring all over my bod, but I never thought of applying it to stretchmarks o:0

I make my own bath products, and I've been using a version of bio oil that I made myself (just using the natural oils - not the other junk in it), and adding my own blend of olive, argan, E, A, oils, etc. etc. I'm using a scrub and cream soap and I've noticed drastic change in my stretch marks.
*I'm not trying to sell you my products, just suggesting finding some natural bath products made with skin beneficial oils!*0 -
Exfoliate and moisturize. You don't need a special mix - just scrub your body a couple of times per week (I like to use a Buf-Puf or scrub mitts) and CeraVe lotion.
They will never go away, but you can make your skin look a lot smoother and the stretch marks less noticeable. Don't sweat it too much - you're doing great things for yourself!0
