lol - mine have been referred to as likening an AA road atlas - lol. I am absolutely covered in them from my bobs down to my knees. Some of them are really wide.
I am a great user of cocoa butter, love to smother myself in it, and I adore the smell. I have recently been told to rub vitamin E on scars and stretch marks as it fades them really well. Haven't tried it yet, but might get some next time I'm out shopping.
I have been trying Elicina for a few weeks now and it seems to be making minor improvements. I will let you all know how it progresses. Has anyone tried Strivectin? I have also purchased that and am waiting for it in the post. I have heard it is clinically proven to markedly reduce/eliminate the appearance of stretch marks in 93% of those studied. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will work
Go to Holland and Barret and buy Gerard House Vitamin E cream. Its £3.80 odds a tub. They are not the biggest tubs in the world. I am 234 lbs (down from 282lbs) and i use it 3 time a week and use 2 jars a week. It works for me, But I have really fair skin (red hair), but if that doesn't work try vitamin e oil, but I had problems with it directly on the skin (too oily) so mix it with a coco butter or even any regular body moisturiser to loosen it a bit. Also wear latex gloves when applying and it will go further (as your hands don't absorb half the bloody stuff before its gotten near your body). It took me a while to work that one out, but i'm proud to say my palms are indeed stretch mark free (hehehehehehehehehe).
I am new here and not to sure what to do but I got strechmarks from my pregnacy I used oils and creams during to prevent them where i used the cream i didnt get them but i forgot to do legs and bum and that where i got them anyway i have been using cocoa butter for three months now and not much changes i use it twice a day but now im exfoliating my body twice a day and using cocoa butter and also 100% vitamin E oil for two weeks and man have i seen the different they have faded alot i would reccomend this to anyone but it is exspensive the vitamin E oil is about $20 for a little bottle that lasts a month.
Apparantly the cocoa butter or vitamin E from body shop are very very good. But I can't tell you from personal experience because I'm allergic to bodyshop stuff.
In case anyone's interested I tried Bio-oil and it did nothing for the stretch marks (bane of my life) although it did make my skin nice and soft. Having said that it was only about £7 off the 'net so didn't lose much in trying it.
