Use Lubriderm lotion that includes cocoa and Shea butters. Or you can purchase some Palmer's cocoa butter especially for Stretch Marks. The bottle reads "Palmer's Cocoa Butter for Stretch Marks with a pregnant women on it, so you want over look it. You can find it in Wal-mart definitely.

There are creams meant for pregnant women with Cocoa Butter and Vitamin E. They are your best bet for losing the stretch marks. As for losing your moobs (man boobs) you have to lose weight to get rid of your chest fat. That means diet and exercise.

cocoa butter!!  get it in the stick form (usually in an orange container looks like a glue stick alomst) and rub it in several times a day over and around your stretch marks.  after doing this for a week or so, put on aloe vera after you shower also.  you should see results within a week or two.  they will never completely go away but they will be almost invisible if you do this for about a year.

Go to a dermatologist.  No home remedy will make those marks disappear.

They say there isnt much you can do but I believe that Yoga and stretching can help . If your skin is used to streching then the sudden strain put on it by your changing body will not have the devastating effect that it might have. Keeping skin from getting to dry is a good technique as well. I dont believe the hype about certain lotions being specifically for stretch marks. \n\nIt probably does have to do with genetics and how much elastin is in your specific skin. But having healthy skin will definantly help. \n\nIve had 3 kids and no stretch marks at all. I have however gotten some on my thighs from gaining weight in the past. \n\nIf you are very thin and get very large in your pregnancy I dont think there is much you can do to prevent it. Something has to give.\n\nVitamin E oil is very good for skin. Calendula oil is another one Ive used.\n\nAvoid petroleum based lotions, they make you soft to begin with but dry you out in the long run. Its sort of a pointless venture. Don't use lotions with alcohol either. Alcohol will dry your skin out. Most have alcohol. I recommend a natural oil.

Vitamin E oil or cream will help and also coca butter, rub it on your stretch marks daily.  They will also lighten up at time goes by, like along time goes by.

None, stretch marks are scars, they are there for life. When they first appear they may be dark in color, but they'll lighten up over time. There are expensive creams that claim to reduce the appearance of them, but you will never get rid of them.

Unfortunately there is nothing that you can do to remove those marks. But the good news is that you will get fewer if you ever get pregnant again. There is no cream or anything that will tae those off. It happens to everyone.

No stretch marks do not go away and you can not get rid of them without surgery. They do fade though

Stretch marks not only come from pregnant and fat people, but also unhealthy skin.  You should take some omega 3 fatty acids for your skin's health.  You need to moisturize as well.  Most of us have stretch marks.  They are really hard to get rid of.  Prevent by eating right (Sugar ages you and your skin FAST so treat it like the poison it is) and keeping your skin moist from the inside and outside.\nGood luck!

use Vitamin E enriched creams or lotions. Vitamin E helps in reducing stretch marks.

There is no real way to prevent stretch marks.  Lotions, retin-A, and cocoa butter may keep the skin supple and soft, but these tears often occur at deeper levels of the skin than can be reached with topical emollients.  If your skin is predisposed to stretch marks, you'll have them, and that's pretty much all there is to it.\n\nOver time, most stretch marks will fade and blend into the skin.  The best way to deal with them is to just accept them.  I call mine "medals of honor" for going through an arduous labor!

Unfortunately stretch marks are the result of skin over stretching, often from quick gain of weight/size like pregnancy.  They will minimalize over time and some specialized creams may take away the redness, however.  Stretch marks are permanent.  Cosmetic surgury may be an option for some people.

The suggestions from leviballen will probably work if you need to lose FAT from your belly area.   Probably more sensible is a simple, no pils, healthy eating and exercise program.  The only way to lose FAT from your belly area is to lose body fat overalll.  AS much as we woud like it to be differnt there is no easy fix to losing belly FAT and there is no such thing as spot reduction.  It doesn't work.\n\nHOwever, you didn't say you had FAT to lose in your belly area.  You indicate that your problem is loose skin, which is a whole different problem from belly fat.  If your problem is loose skin I am sorry to say the only solution is surgery.  There is no other way to get rid of loose belly skin.  The skin has stretched and lost its elasticity and it will not shrink back, no matter how much exercise or dieting you do, no matter how many Total Lean packs you buy.  \n\nAlso, you didn't indicate you had stretch marks, though suggestions have been made for those.  There are many products on the market that claim to get rid of stretch marks.  Stretch marks are permanent because they are caused by the thinning and breaking down of the layer of skin that has the collagen and elastin -the stuff that makes our skin elastic.  NOthing can fix this, no creams or pills.  However, the marks fade and get smaller and less obvvious all on their own over time, though the skin can never completely return to normal.  In the early stages some stretch marks do seem to be able to be treated by lasers which help get rid of the red color and may help with making things look better.  A cream called tretinoin has  been reported to be successful in some studies, but not in others, and reputable doctors all over the world indicate that there is no way to get rid of stretch marks.  YOu will find lots of sites that want to sell you stuff, but BEWARE.\n\nMy advice would be to be careful and don't spend your money on stuff that doesn't work.  Actually the greatest factor in determining whether you have stretch marks is your genes.  Some people get them, some don't.  If you do have stretch marks think of them as signs that your body has produced something wonderful, two new lives.\n\nGood luck and take care.

You cannot get rid of stretch marks.  You can prevent them by using moisturizer.  \n\nIf you have to get rid of them no matter what, lazer surgery might work.
