There's this great stuff from Palmers. It's called Cocoa Butter Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks. It's cheap and easy to use, you just spread it on after every shower. I believe it has a drawing of a pregnant woman on the bottle.

ReplyDeleteTry using cocoa butter. It helped my stretch marks :)
ReplyDeleteI have tried alot of stuff. to me i think vaseline intensive care cocoa butter cream works the absolute best..
ReplyDeleteBut i always it sit over the stretch marks for a little bit while i lotion the rest of my self... then rub it all in. Also helps even skin tone.
You can use whatever lotion/cream/oil you like.
ReplyDeleteJust massage it at least once a day over the area you want to lighten the marks up.
You can never fully get rid of them, but they will fade with time and a bit of massage.
If you truly want to get rid of the marks, you'll need plastic surgery to cut the marked skin out.....however that will likely cause scar tissue which will likely look worse in the end.
Don't be too rough, just massage enough to get blood flowing to the area (that's a light to medium touch).
To be totally honest, nobody notices the marks unless you point it out. If you learn to ignore it, everyone else will too.
If someone does happen to mention it, just say it's a stretch mark and leave it at that, they won't keep pressing or make fun of it since they likely have at least one mark themselves and they know it's impossible to get rid of them.
this is effective method
ReplyDeleteapply panthenol cream twice a day for 45 days , they will disappear
you can find the panthenol cream in the drugstores and it is cheap here it is pic

* Skin Creams and Lotions – Lotions containing cocoa butter are rumored to not only help reduce stretch marks, but to help prevent them entirely. Any cream or oil that is made specifically for the prevention or treatment of stretch marks will help keep your skin healthy and elastic.
ReplyDelete* Vitamin A, E & C – Supplementing these vitamins may help increase the strength and elasticity of the collagen within your skin and reducing your chance of forming stretch marks.
* Stay hydrated.
# Time – Stretch marks, like all types of scarring fade over time.
# Retin-A (Tretinoin) – 0.1% Tretinoin creams have been shown to significantly reduce the appearance of stretch marks. These creams work best when used on fresh stretch marks. (do not use this is you are currently pregnant though)
# Exfoliate daily – use a loofah or scrunchy to remove daily.
# Stretch Mark Creams and Lotions – Using creams and lotions that heal and beautify your skin can reduce the appearance of stretch marks. The following ingredients are widely accepted as beneficial for this purpose:
* Cocoa butter
* Rose hip oil
* Emu oil
* Jojoba oil
* Castor oil
* Shea butter
* Vitamin A, E & C
# Vic’s Vapor Rub – Many people have reported success using Vic’s Vapor rub by applying it to a washcloth or paper towel and rubbing it forcefully into the scarred skin on a nightly basis for a few weeks.
# Increase Circulation – by taking hot baths and massaging the areas regularly.
# Tanning – Go sunbathing! Tanning can diminish and even eliminate minor stretch marks. Be sure to use sun screen.
# Vitamin E Gel – Break open vitamin E capsules and rub the oil into the skin over the stretch marks daily for 2 weeks
I have the same problem. Mine are old and all over, even my back. And let's just say I can't even wear anything sleeveless. Idk how to get rid of them, I've heard shea butter helps but I'm not sure. I really hope I can find something. I do know though that tanning is not good. Sunless tanning lotions are okay, but actual tanning in the sun will just make the marks darker.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of stretch mark treatment available on the market these days. Some treatments are more effective in fading or even eliminating stretch marks, but the success of the treatment depends on a few different things. First of all is the color and age of the stretch marks. If they have faded to a flesh color they are much harder to heal. Second of all, ethnicity and heredity play a role in which creams, oils and other products or equipment will succeed in healing stretch marks.
ReplyDeleteThe cheapest stretch mark treatment available is creams made especially for stretch marks. The most effective creams contain ingredients such as cocoa butter, lanolin and wheat germ oil. These creams actually heal and rebuild the damaged skin. While they may not be able to completely eliminate stretch marks, they may at least make the stretch marks fade to a barely visible scar. A good recommendation will be Palmer Cocoa Butter Cream.
Another popular & effective cream that you might wish to consider is Strivectin. It has a bioactive topical formula that has a combination of skin firming agents to reduce visible wrinkles and make skin appear firmer
