I used to body build and stretch marks are a no no...you need to buy vitamin E enriched lotion and apply it to the area every chance you get.  Taking vitamin E pills will also help.

There's no way that i know of personally to get rid of stretchmarks. There are however ways to lighten them up so that they aren't as apparent. There are treatment creams for making them lighter.

Actually you can remove stretch marks with cocoa butter. It comes in two forms,the stick, and a lotion. Then stick works very well! When beginning you might see the stretch marks darken but after that they will lighten and eventually disappear!

In the beginning put cocoa butter on them. Like all scar tissue they need time to heal. Keeping them moist will help the healing process. Once you are able, start stomach exercises. Situps are great! Keeping the skin tight and firm will help in keeping them less noticeable. After this, there are several companies that make a lotion with firming properties. Most are advertised for use with cellulite, but they work great for this purpose as well. I hope these things will help you. :)\n\nAnd congrats on your new addition. :)

There is no medical proof that creams really help prevent stretch marks, even though some clai, they do.  The best way to prevent stretch marks is keeping weight gain steady, gradual, and moderate. Also, a good diet is always good for your skin's elasticity. \nIf you already have stretch marks, you can feel good knowing that they will gradually fade to a silvery sheen. You can also discuss with a dermatologist the possibility of reducing their visiblity with laser therapy or Retin-A.

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.

Stretch marks are a very common thing. Almost all girls get them when they develop, since it happens so quickly. Common places for stretch marks are breasts, buttocks and thighs, although you can sometimes see them around the belly after pregnancy. \nIf you look up closely, you will see that most men also have stretch marks (belly, bottoms and so on). Of course, aesthetically, they are not the most pleasing thing, but they are so common that anyone who said anything would be being a little silly about it. \nIf you are embarrassed about your stretch marks, and especially since they are on your breasts, try using a bit of powder make up on them when you wear a low neckline. It will basically hide them, and make you look as if you had spent some time sun-bathing.

stretchmarks are impossible to get rid of, but if you use cocoa butter on them every day, they will fade quicker

haha this was just asked i thought.  I get the same problem on my upper arms bro, coco butter lotion W/ vitemin E twice a day when you get up and when you go to sleep every day.  It will take the color out of the marks and if they're smaller make em heal away.

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

I wish I could post my belly pic as I have the most heinous stretchies ever...I cant find a finger width of normal skin between them. You can have laser treatment (think tattoo removal) but it only eliminates 30% of the marks.  Don't bother with the cocoa butter stuff as that does as much for stretch marks as the gas and air does for labour pain (not much).  Apparently Bio oil can reduce them but not cure them. Just resolve never to wear a bikini again, or get them tattoo'd over to look like tiger stripes!!
