Hmm i have heard that before as well, but i dont think it is true. Use cocoa butter to avoid stretch marks.

No, this does not cause stretch marks, just irritated skin cells, which are usually temporary unless scratching is a constant thing. Stretch marks are caused by literal stretching of the skin, such as birth or an imediate growth spurt. Don't worry, its alright, but i still wouldn't scratch!
-Hope i've helped

No it`s not true. The only way you can get stretch marks is by your bones growning faster then your skin and then gaining to much weight in an area. Alot of people have them whether they`re overweight or not. Avoid them by working out in those specific areas and not eating bad foods. If you ever get them, you can use cocoa butter which minimizes them and fades them. :) &hearts;

I don't think that what your mom is saying, is true. Haha it kinda sounds funky in a way, and if it's true, then I would have LOADS right now, & I don't.

There's absolutely no way to avoid them or to get rid of them. They occur naturally. If you want, you can help prevent them, or make them less noticable. By using any cream with Cocoa Butter in it. =]
