Stretch marks

Anyone know of any good natural or cosmetic stretch mark cures that have worked well for them?

There is ways of concealing them but ive just learnt to live with and be proud of them

Bio Oil is supposed to be good
My cousin used it on stretch marks on her tummy, and the scar from a c-section, and both practically disappeared

I second the Bio Oil, ive heard great things about it. Ask in your pharmacy?

just have to reiterate asim sure the more people who say it the more you'l believe but bio-oil really is a godsend (sorry cant even spell it, but it's true!)

Where can you get bio-oil? Is it on the shelves, or do you have to ask a pharmacist?

Eat alota Vitamin E! But I think that's more of a prevention than a cure. Meh, couldn't hurt anyway!

It's on the shelf. I'm not sure if it helps with stretch marks as they tend to fade away by themselves anyway so it's hard to tell if it's time or the oil at work but it does smell lovely and it makes a good moisturiser.

It's a gym thing.

Faith · 12-03-2007 1:23pm

Bio-oil was really expensive! :eek:

I don't think I dislike my stretch marks that much!

or a weight gain/loss thing.

*sighs* Guys , i was reffering to a previous poster question about why Fatal would be proud of stretch marks.

Not implying that the gym is the only way to get them.

Its a tenner last bottle I got. Works really well for burns as well, although imo regular application is absolutely essential.

I used Bio-Oil and it didn't really work that well for me

Last time I used bio-oil it was cheap enough but that was a while ago. If the stretch mark/scar is old than it can`t help.

If you dont wanna splash out for bio-oil I've heard that cocoa butter creams and aloe vera creams are pretty good. I've never used them but sure they're worth a try.
