Stretch marks
Ladies...
Has anyone gotten stretch marks reduced? Like, the appearance?
I know it's physically impossible to remove them... but I know there are several options for getting them to look better.
And of course every place says their method is the best..... =/
What has worked for YOU or someone you know?
I had a growth spurt in my early teens and got them on my upper arms... and I'm tired of not being able to wear things I like now that my body is back to normal!

There are some things you can do:
1. Exfoliate when washing, using a body polisher/loofah/exfoliating glove. This will get rid of the dead skin, and help new skin cells grow. This can reduce the appearance. Do it gently, in circular motions.
2. Moisturize. Palmers cocoa butter is great, because it contains vitamin E, which promotes skin cell growth. Any cocoa butter, however, will work great.
3. Bio-Oil is great. It's a pink-ish coloured oil. You only use a little, and you massage it in. It's made to help with stretch marks and scars. It's quite pricey, but like I said, you only use a little and so it lasts a while. And it totally works.
Good luck, and I hope I helped! :)

Believe it or not, Mederma and similar products work really well. I have a friend who is a cutter and has recently used Mederma on her scars and they are barely there now. So, since I saw her success, I am using a similar product (a generic) on a surgical scar I have. If it can work on her scars and mine, it can work on stretch marks.
