Question Posted Thursday December 30 2004, 10:58 am
Hey everyone. I have an embarrassing problem that's really taking over my life.. it might seems small to some, but it's not at all. I have bad stretch marks, and they're making me majorly self conscious... around everyone. I have them all over, but they're especially bad on my stomache and sides. They're taking hold of me and my boyfriends relationship. Does anyone have any home remedies or in-expensive products I can use?? I'm using palmers cocoa butter right now. Should I use it every day?? Please give me advice, i'll rate high. Thanks so much
Inga_says answered Thursday January 6 2005, 4:07 pm: You should keep using the coco butter formula. I heard from my friend that it works great. I have some stretchmarks myself. You should not worry about them They are part of your body and I also heard that sometimes they tend to become less noticeable and sometimes, not all of them, disappear.

i hope this helps...and im sorry you have the stretch marks...i know it sucks!

You can try that Maderma for scars,it might be helpful in lessening the appearance of the stretch marks.Also I seem to recall my aunt telling me that Vitamin E is good for scars and stretch marks.You can take the capsules or there are some lotions that contain Vitamin E.I hope this helps you out some!

jbdreamer answered Thursday December 30 2004, 11:36 am: Yes, the cocoa butter is the right thing to do, as well as any lotions that have vitaman E. But yes, use it every day, even twice a day would be good. I had the same problem, after using the lotion every morning for 3 months, I noticed a big differnce. The strech marks are not gone, but have faded drasically. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]
