Bio Oil, Coconut Body Butter( Body Shop) and Palmer's Coco Butter Range. It will take some time for them to fade but its worth it!
Oh and this may sound strange but the sun sometimes works...
(but always remember to use sun cream XD )

No magic pill. Do squats and yoga. Use exercise bands and drink lots of water to release toxins.
ReplyDeleteCocoa butter is probably the best you can try. I am not sure if it will get rid of them but it will certainly prevent them or keep them from getting worse.
ReplyDeleteIf there was a cosmetic product or dietary supplement that really did get rid of stretchmarks, all these people would not have to ask the same question.

Exercise won't get rid of them either. Stretch marks are basically scars that have formed from the inside out, from broken bands of collagen and elastin. Moisturizing lotion won't help. Topical application of prescription Retin-A may raise the indentations slightly, especially if the marks haven't been there long. Otherwise your choices are lasers or chemical peels, administered by a plastic surgeon. For the love of god, don't sun your stretchmarks and add sun damage to the problem.
Bio Oil (but its about $ 20 aus dollars for a bottle)

The products I've heard of are bio-oil and coco butter. If you use one of them make sure to put it on 1-2 a day.
ReplyDeleteStretch marks are normal, often there is nothing that you can do but forgive them and look at them as part of you, I've heard people call them their tiger stripes, personally I love mine as they are silver patterns over my hips. They are caused by damage deep in the fibers of your skin which makes them difficult to repair, but if they are still red then they are new so stand a better chance.
ReplyDeleteMost commonly used for stretch marks are vitamin E oil and cocoa butter, a lot of products are available for pregnant women to avoid stretch marks, and most body moisturizers contain these ingredients too but watch out for products with more cocoa butter – I recommend The Body Shop's body butter, they smell nice and cost less than some products. In raw form vitamin E oil and cocoa butter can be found in health or specialist stores, however vitamin E oil tends to be sticky and cocoa butter can take a while to melt down to body temperature to rub in. Bio oil is a good choice too for stretch marks as well as for general skincare, it can be bought from most pharmacies but is expensive so I recommend trying in discount stores which sometimes sell a cheaper version that works just as well. Plain old olive oil rubbed into your skin daily is great and cheap, this is less to heal stretch marks and more of a way to prevent any more stretch marks appearing as it moisturizes your skin and leaves it in totally wonderful condition. Chamomile is supposed to be good, it breaks up scar tissue so it can help the swelling and depressions level out, I've not tried it myself, but it may be worth trying along with some vitamin E oil or rosa mosqueta oil. Comfrey root is known for breaking down scar tissue too, the sooner you apply it the better and apply it a few times a day, you should notice a difference from within a few days to a few months, Burt's Bees make a good comfrey salve. Pure rose hip seed oil is also supposed to be good on fresh scars but also useful on older scars too, although it's heavy so best to apply at night.
If your stretch marks really bother you then you might want to get an appointment with a dermatologist to have them assess the stretch marks to see if they can offer you any treatment, they will use either laser treatment of a cream called Retin-A, it may be worth mentioning this to your doctor to see if they could refer you or suggest any other treatments.
There 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
