What is the best way to get rid of stretch marks?

Question

I'm sixteen and I have been slightly over weight my entire life. I have stretch marks. I've tried lotion with coco butter in it and that hasn't helped at all. I'm so tired of being embarrassed about my body.

Does anyone know any ways to get rid of stretch marks, that works?

Answer 1

I will start off with a few cheap, easy solutions. Try using a skin brush while you are showering will increase circulation which will help the skin to heal and help reduce stretch marks. There are also many creams you can find at your local pharmacy or grocery store that will moisturize your stretch marks, and make them more flexible. Examples of these are cocoa butter and creams or oils containing vitamin E. If none of the creams or oils are effective, you can also talk to your doctor about getting a prescription cream to reduce stretch marks.

Your diet can also help reduce your stretch marks. Eating food high in zinc and silica will help with your collagen formation. Also, eating foods with essential fatty acids, such as certain vegetables and fish oils, help form cell walls. Eating foods high in vitamins A, C, and E will also help.

Answer 2

I'm sorry, I have some too because I'm really tall and grow incredibly fast, so I have some on my thighs. I think you should just try moisturizing the areas with stretch marks every day. I do that and they have started to fade. It takes awhile, but it will eventually work. There are creams that claim to get rid of them...but they are expensive and rarely work. So just pick up some cetaphil or something and hope for the best. Put it on many times a day. Until then, don't fret about them! Usually people don't even notice, and if they do, it's not the end of the world. Lot's of people have them, including me. So hold your head up high, because you are gorgeous! :)
