Stretch Marks!!! Help

Re: Stretch Marks!!! Help

Aside from the very nice effects of cardio and resistance training along with your better eating habits, it is said that prescription retinoids (Renova, Retin-A), along with the consistent application of a low-pH glycolic acid can alleviate the appearance of stretch marks over time. It might be worth a try.

Best of luck, and GOOD FOR YOU for taking off these extra pounds. Aren't you just feeling foxy?

Age gap for real Michelle, but that's alright, as long as you can handle it which I know you must.

Okay.. so here's my knowledge on stretch marks. They actually can be caused by a hormone change in your body, not only by skin stretching or shrinking rapidly. I know from personal experience Cocoa butter lotion is awesome for stretch marks and for skin in general. I use it everyday. I've read that it's good for many things, from sunburns to stretchmarks..so I feel it helps my skin while Im losing weight.

This is kind of off topic.. but I know I"m not the only one here who has it.. Cellulite.. EVIL I know huh! But.. I know that since I've been in the sun a lot, and my legs are tanning .. the cellulite is not as noticeable on my thighs.. it's a combination of tanning, and working out of course.. but I do know tanning helps cellulite become more unoticable.. maybe it does with stretch marks as well? Hope some of this helps!

Re: Stretch Marks!!! Help

Thanks all you guys for replying to the "stretch mark" issue..and cellulite is EVIL!!! I agree totally!! I have it on my legs really bad, but even when I was smaller I had it bad. Everyone does..I think....even those "skinny" girls, they just hide it better! But thanks again you guys...ya'll are all such an inspiration!!

Off Topic here I know but

Miss S - Ur pics are fantistic!! Ur so pretty!

ImCurvin - Ur pretty too! I like ur hair!

I'm a firm believer in cellulite being reduced by lots of cardio and dry brushing and moisturising.
Stretch marks...hmmmm I'm just hoping that mine will be more noticable as I lose the weight. I hate mine but theres nothing I can do about them! Even skinny people have them, small silver ones. I use Cocoa Butter too so hopefully that will reduce them!
