stretch marks...

sean · 16-02-2006, 09:12 PM

about to have a shower today and ive noticed on my thigh (well just below my hip bone) ive got a few really pale lines, not full on stretch marks but still something there, anyway to prevent this from appearing? In the past month it seems as though ive put quite abit of weight one, all over really, would this be anything to do with it? or is the training at the gym?

Thanks Sean

Stretch marks usually appear when gaining weight fast. Moisturise daily with a decent vitamin e moisturiser and it should prevent any more appearing.

...dont consider them stretch marks, consider them battle scars!...

They'll fade with time - all mine have.

Yes thy do fade a little but they don't go away completely.

You can also try cocoa butter with vit. e in the same lotion...I get them badly on my legs and hips...baby got back, lol

I recently had a couple show on my bicep and the front of my pec by my shoulder....mine come up deep red but fade quickly...my bulker "battle marks" will have faded by summer...tanning helps hide them as well

I got mine about 7 years ago, they have faded enough but you can still see them if you look close enough.

I thought I post this reply in all appropriate threds in case it can help, and of course stop you spending money on expensive creams that don't work.

Here goes. Let me know what you think.

Ok Guys. Mind if a Girl butts in? I used to be an extreme fatty and have stretch marks everywhere from the age of 14, I am now 38!. Then when I got pregnant I knew I was in trouble as I wanted to compete again and I didn't want to get any more. Well I can honestly highly recommend BIO-OIL. It comes in 75ml and 125ml and you can get it in boots for £8.95 and £14.95 respectively. However I know a seller in eBay I get mine from and I get 3 x 125mls for £29 which is steel.

Anyway; I have throughout my pregnancy used this BIO OIL a few drops over each breast (sorry) and about 8 drops (and I mean drops) over my tummy and hip area. Which are the areas prone to stretch marks while carrying a baby. I have done this religiously for the last 5 months. I am now full tem and expect to deliver within the next week or 2 at the most.

Much to my surprise is this: The stretch marks I have on my breasts from being a heffer have more or less disappeared!! Yep I know. I can't believe it either. My tummy which is Huge (I think) has NONE. And I really mean that. Pictures available on request but it’s not pretty. So I can honestly vouch for this Bio-Oil. I would never use anything else. Because of the drastic improvement on my chest I intend to start putting Bio Oil on all my other stretch marks from my teenage years and see what happens. I’m quite excited. As a Woman I have been so embarrassed and ashamed of them all my life and now it seems there is a cheap option that works.

These were my rules: Drinks lots of water. After your bath or shower: within 3 MINUTES apply BIO-OIL to your most vulnerable area. Spend 3 minutes rubbing in properly. Do this at least 2 x Daily but always after every Bath/Shower when the pores are open/dilated. After this time frame it will not be absorbed as well.

I hope this helps. I spent years trying everything you can imagine. Some ridiculously expensive and they didn’t work. This is cheap, effective and it lasts so long for what seems like a little bottle you will be very surprised.

Hey; I should be a rep for Bio-Oil.

Good luck
