Go to your local drug store and buy "cocoa butter" make sure that it has nothing else but that in its content list *it will say 100%. Then, every night rub it on your marks- after like a month of doing this they will be less visible. I have stretch marks galore on my hips so those low waist pants that are "in" show my marks and i hated it- so thats why I use it. I like the roll-on sticks but the lotion works well too. My advise: use it at night because depending on what kind you get- it can feel oily. Take a shower in the mornig it you dont already do to prevent build up and stop the "oily feeling". (yes, it has a scent, but when you shower it will come off. BUT ITS WORTH IT! I LIVE BY IT!!!)
Some people really like the smell, I do. Its great during the summer because it can help you tan. And some people use it to make their skin baby soft. It's not necessarily made for stretch marks but I was told it works by my dermatoligist and it sure does!
Just remember it wont make the marks dissappear, and it takes dedication to do it every night. Love your body for who it is, you would be suprised to hear who else has those marks.
PS. if you are overweight, stretch marks can be caused from the skin stretching too much (hince the name) Once you lose some weight they will become really invisible. = me though, I am not overweight, but my hips are simpily huge and as they grew, my skin stretched too much and they appeared. They keep getting bigger as my hips grow, but the cocoa butter helps and i live by it.
GOOD LUCK!
*where are your marks?
