Bumps and marks.


Question Posted Sunday October 26 2008, 7:11 pm

How can I get rid of strech marks and razor bumps? I have strech marks on my stomach and razor bumps you know where. I'm 14F,so telling the parents about why bikini bottoms aren't so ideal anymore would be embarrasing.

The cocoa butter idea for stetch marks is a good idea. The razor bumps "you know where" happened to my girl. She found a new razor called the Venus Breeze that does not require shaving gel and leaves her silky smooth. Try them and see. And do shave in the direction the hair grows and oil or lotion afterwards. Let me know how it works for you.

i'm not sure about the razor bumps cause i dont get them but for stretch marks there's an amazing product, got rid of mine around my boobs (thats what happens when skin stretches lol) it's called Palmers Coco Butter formula for stretch marks.

basically anything that has collagen(strengthens the skin tissues) and elastin(allows the tissues in your body to take another shape after stretching) will help reduce and get rid of stretch marks.

also, vitamin E helps so i recommend products with it.

hope this helped

Don't even worry about stretch marks. Practically everyone has them, and you notice them a LOT more than other people do. They'll fade with time.


Razor bumps are sometimes inevitable. They can be minimized though. Don't shave for about a week, it'll give your skin a chance to recover. Moisturize and exfoliate regularly. When you do shave, use a sharp razor [dull razors are awful for the bikini area] and lots of shave gel or conditioner. Shave in the same direction the hair grows as much as possible, since this minimizes irritation. After you shave, dry the skin and moisturize, and wear boyshorts if possible because it'll avoid chafing/irritation. If you continue to get bumps, you could be allergic to the shave gel you're using, or just be sensitive to shaving. Try another method of removal such as waxing or a depilatory like Nair.


If you STILL don't want to wear regular bikini bottoms, boyshort bottoms are another option. You'll have a different tan line, though.
