Palmer's Cocoa Butter formula.
You can find it in any drug store, and it's fairly cheap as far as I know.
My best friend is 6 months pregnant and she lathers this stuff on everyday and she is YET to get any stretch marks at all.. it's amazing.
(It will make your stretch marks less noticeable as well! This isn't just for pregnant women!)
You get stretch marks when your skin STRETCHES.. i highly doubt you're getting these from LOSING weight. Maybe your body is just changing?

Stretch marks usually appear if you are overweight or during pregnancy.
If you get rid of the weight or after the baby and you are young and lucky, they might fade away over time. However someone I work with had a baby a few years ago, she lost all the weight she gained during pregnancy, and the skin went back to normal, but the stretch marks never went away.

When people loose weight they tend to get stretch marks because the once stretched out skin is not so stretched out anymore. There's really not much you can do about them. They really should be called stretch scars because that is what they are, scars. If you feel that bad about them, you can check into laser therapy.

You can't erase them but you can prevent new ones. Put a strong moisturize lotion 3 times a day on the areas where you get the marks.

try body brushing.it just means using a big bath brush and when in the bath scrub the affected areas and you will sonn see results.it smooths the skin and presses out the strethchmarks.after the bodybrushing use some bio oil.smooth it on to the skin.this reallly works and really fast.

you dont get stretch marks by losing weight...it may however make them more noticible. there is really nothing you can do to prevent them. genetics is what decides if you get stretch marks or not

One of my consultants had bad stretch marks and she started using our Rejuvenating cream. Now you can't even tell they were there unless you get really close, but I don't think anyone but her hubby gets that close!
