hi moms!
I've got really ugly stretch marks after giving birth.
Any suggestions on what to do?


kiss_me - February 24th, 2011 7:17 AM

...hi lovely! I have seen a l0t of advertisements on stretch mark removers like those creams and oils.. but I'm not sure if they really work. My friend said that it just helps fade out the dark marks but they never really go away :(

oh my god! that's a very good question... I've tried a cream before but like what kiss said, it doesn't really go away... I heard you need to get a surgical procedure done if you really want to eradicate those marks... but i bet it's also expensive!

i think you're referring to the laser thing, pink angel. I think it's only good for fresh marks, not the ones that are there for a long time already.

cocoa butter can help! and lots and lotsa vitamin e.


Mrs. Smith - February 24th, 2011 7:25 AM

there are actually a lot of products already out in the market that claims to help reduce stretch marks. I'm just not so sure with its safety and efficacy. try checking with your dermatologist, just to be safe.

for soon-to-be moms, it would help if you use virgin coconut oil and lather it on ur tummy. it helps reduce friction thus creating the stretch marks!

I found in the net that the #1 Stretch Mark Removal Cream is TriLASTIN-SR. It was featured in the tyra banks show. This cream is product from a reputable skin care company.

I am using Revitol. Its the best and most popular beauty product used by those who are suffering from terror stretch marks caused by pregnancy, weight gain, weight loss, and others.

the best cure for stretch marks is surgery. but to prevent it, try using shea butter.

if you have stretch marks, you have it. i don't think you have to be insecure with it because its only you has it. be comfortable with it.
