Stretch Marks- Any suggestions

[amyleigh]

my cousin had a surgery on her thigh a few years back (broke her femur...it was ugly) and the doctor told her to use vitamin e gel caps(the kind you swallow) but break them open and massage the vitamin e right into the scar. he said that because stretchmarks are like scars, that it works for them too. i never tried it on my stretch marks, but i can say that her scar is significantly lighter and not even all that noticable anymore...she also did it 3x a day for about 3 months, and cut back to once a day. dunno if it helps, but it may be worth a shot

I have them as well, but have an alternative plan...once I reach my goal/treat them for awhile with body scrub and butter, I'm getting them tattooed over!

thank you very much!! im glad to here that something has worked for someone, even if its not me(: but i was wondering if you just use the srcub 3 to 5 times a week & if so how many times a day? also, how many times a day is the lotion?

It wouldn't hurt to start moisturising now, it will help your skin bounce back with you. I've started doing it now to stop from getting loose skin. Stretch marks are also harder to get rid of over time so if you start using something for them now it's best.
