Stretchmarks are scar tissue. Because of that you can`t remove them. You can try whit scar removing creams, but, the results will be less than you can and will expect. Try using high hydrant cream for your skin to improve your skin elasticity.

I have the same problem. m not overweight or anything. I agree with the first answer. Cocoa butter does help. But you have to be very consistent. You have to use it without stopping. To see full results or somewhere around it, the appropriate time would most likely be 3 months. So don't stop using it, even if you do see results, just in case. Tans also help like others answered. I really wouldn't consider a tan just to cover stretch marks. I don't need to get any darker than I am at this moment. Also, maybe using a body scrub on the stretch marks might work. I use this Olay Microderm stuff, or something like that, and it basically takes all the marks and scars off my face/body. So it might work for stretch marks. Hope this helps!
Sorry this is so long. lol.

Start doing some real good exercise now on mostly aerobic style exercises will help you. But it may be long before it disappears

They're there for life. I wish they weren't! But a lot of people have them, men and women, so don't feel too bad.

they will never compleatly go away. But if you tan they will blend into your skin.
