Stretch Marks

there was a post about bio-oil? look it up.. heard it works. haven't tried it yet though...

i hate mine! my son totally stretched out my tummy... and my mama told me not to scratch! :indifferent:

I don't know about home remedies but I've used Save My Skin (sold by Pure Romance). My 23 year old stretch marks are gone. It worked wonders!

where can we get this???? I have some serious gouges from losing wt they are icky.

I think I may have to check that out. My 10lb baby stretched the living daylights outta my tummy. Never thought you could have so many stretch marks in one place...He's now a year old and nothing has helped...gonna have to try this one too...hehe

I've been using Bio-Oil on my stretch marks, and my husband noticed that my stretch marks were going away. If my husband can notice, it must work.

That must be good stuff.....If a husband noticed...I have been meaning to go out and pick some of that up.

As I look down at my disgusting marks, I have come to the realization that they will NEVER go away. They may lighten with products, but my skin is literally stretched. My stretch marks are 1/2 to 1 centimeter wide. And I have (vertical) about 20 across and I can't even tell you how many horizontal (about 6 inches across) right down the middle! there is no m agic in ANY bottle that's gonna make them go away. I don't even think a tummy tuck would work at this point. Unless they pull so tight my boobs hand in front of my crotch!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Because the only decent skin in the front of my body is my chest!
I do have BioOil and am putting it on, along with cocoa butter lotion. It's psychological. But, if I do see any difference, I'll let you know!
p.s. also had stretch marks since puberty (remember a guy asking me what those marks are on your chest? at 12, my answer.... oh?,... my cat scratched me!):laugh: :laugh:
And I also had 2 pregnancies, 10 & 11 pounders!

I wish.... but plastic surgery can't do anything to get rid of stretch marks unless you have a tummy tuck that is actually going to cut off the skin. I don't like the ones on my hips and thighs!
I have been using the bio oil and i haven't noticed any difference! :sad:
maybe i will try this new product

congrats Maverick! You will like your results, tough recovery but worth it! I work for a plastic surgeon and we don't have too many people say that it was a waste of money!! lol Most people are really glad they did it! :flowerforyou:

Nothing helps em but time.

Some products "speed up" the process for some people. IMO it's just your body having a mild allergic reaction, like a burn.

28 years of "time" under my belt and four children-two ten pounders and bio oil made a HUGE difference in less than a week. The stuff is great. No sunburn here-just severly stretched skin.
