Stretch martks from pregnancy?

Question

I have 2 kids, my last pregnancy was 3 years ago. I exercise 5-6 times/wk. The stretch marks on my stomach are wrinkly and the flatter my abs get, the more wrinkles I see. Any suggestions for this late in the game??

Answer 1

You earned those stretch marks and they are yours for life!!! I think you should be proud of them and use them as future guilt tools with your children! lol

Answer 2

Have u tried Mederma? If so and it did not work. Try cocoa butter lotion and apply as often as 8 times a day. I did this with the Mederma also. U could also try some pilates, take a break from crunches. Also, if u can run, try running and I promise your skin will just magically start placing itself by in the right spots. Just do it for a month, try running about 3 miles a day, or slower if possible. It seemed like when I actually started doing more stretches my skin took to that better. I would do more stretches and everything seemed to go to its perspective place. I know how irritating this can be in bathing suit season.

I used Vitamin E gel while I was pregnant. I also did a sugar scrub a couple of times a week, not to mention applying lotion daily. I'm proud to say that I have 0 stretch marks.

While it has been 3 years, you can get rid of them. The secret is Pure Vitamin E Gel, it's like a petroleum jelly. You can pick up a generic brand at your local drug store. The thicker the better as it stays on longer. It penetrates your skin and works miracles. It is going to take a while, but if you are consistant, they will go away.

I work in a retail store in the health and beauty section- I see a TON of women buying coco butter for the stretch marks- check it out at your nearest store- down the isle where the body lotions are normally.

Cocoa Butter. Also some stores like Walmart sell special lotions for stretch marks that are resonably priced. They are in the lotion section at the store. Hope this works for you it did for me.

Answer 9

Have you tried any creams that they sell at the drug stores, I've heard good things. Also Vitamin-E oil is supposed to work really well. It sounds like you have pretty bad ones, so cocca butter may not work, but you could give it a shot! Good Luck!
