I have really bad stretch marks since having kids, and I've recently notice them in places I really really hate them besides my stomach, is it possible to rid them all? Or at least make them very very very unnoticeable? And if so, what are some good workouts to improve this? I already do crunches and situps.

    I'm not sure how it would work for stretch marks, but I use bio-oil for my scars from surgery! Everyone I know who uses it, swears by it. And it's been working for me, somewhat. I'm too inconsistent with it :P

    I've come to accept mine, they're just my tiger stripes. Rawr.

    Stretch marks are scars that occur beneath the skin due to sudden changes in the stress on the skin, instead of stretching, the skin snaps and heals itself, creating a scar. They fade over time like a scar would, but never disappear. You can have them surgically removed i think, and there is laser therapy, but seriously, everybody has them. Ive never heard of a topical cream/lotion that actually removes them, because the problem is deeper than just the skin.

    it's expensive ($50 a bottle) but Clarins stretch mark control is supposed to be AWESOME. Good luck!!

    My friend had really bad stretchmarks (her view) and apparently used the Clarins system (more than one bottle) for 2 years - she said "I was on a mission."
    Certainly haven't really noticed her stretchmarks so I think it did work.
    Should also note she works in retail and gets a nice discount on beauty stuff.
