Answer #1:

i started to get stretch marks on my breasts, my hips, and my legs around 20 something wks. i tried "palmers cocoa butter formula..massage lotion for stretch marks"..i had tried other things before and they didnt work, so i only used this on my breast. i put it on after every shower. after a few weeks i def noticed a fading of the marks on my breasts..so i would say it works considering the marks on my legs and hips are still just as bad. its not to expensive and you can get it at any drug store. its also not oily! i hope it works for you like it has for me!

Answer #2:

coca butter works well

Answer #3:

you want to know the sad truth, you can't remove them by using any type of creme you can try to prevent them but once they are there it is a scarring of the tissue caused by the stretching of the skin. Fortunately there is a way to remove them and that is only through laser removal, another thing you can try to do is tan and that sort of blends them in but again laser is the best way!!! good luck :)

Answer #4:

Exercise is important in order to get rid of stretch marks; toning your muscles helps your skin to firm thus preventing stretch marks.

2. Your diet should be healthy and well balanced. Include foods rich in vitamin C, protein and vitamin E. They promote good tissue growth.

3. Massaging your body with olive oil or Vitamin E may help. This will nourish your skin and reduce stretch marks and scars.

4. Mix one ounce of carrier oil (try avocado, sweet almond, jojoba) with seven drops of lavender and five drops of chamomile. This is a useful home remedy for stretch marks.

5. Do not let your skin dry. Apply cocoa butter or any stretch marks cream though out the body as directed on label. These are very good for reducing stretch marks. Vitamin A and vitamin E found in the cream penetrate deeply into your skin to soothe, protect and heal skin ruptures.

6. Mix liquid from six capsules of Vitamin E, liquid from four capsules of Vitamin A, half cup virgin olive oil and one-forth cup aloe vera gel in a blender. After that pour the mixture into a jar and store it in the fridge. Apply the mixture externally all over the places where the stretch marks commonly appear. This is another common home remedy for stretch marks.


7. Egg white is effective in reducing stretch marks. As they are rich in protein, they provide protein to the skin.

8. The next home remedy for stretch marks require two tablespoons of wheat germ oil, one teaspoon apricot kernel oil, half a cup of cocoa butter, two teaspoons of Vitamin E oil, two teaspoons of light sesame seed oil and four teaspoons of beeswax. To start, grate the beeswax that will make it melt easier. Then place all the ingredients into a saucepan and slowly heat until the beeswax and cocoa butter melt, stir well. Move away from the heat and allow cooling. Spread generously over your stomach, thighs, lower back, upper arms and buttocks and massage. This home remedy is excellent for reducing stretch marks. Store this skin care cream in a cover jar.
