I have this horrible stretch marks in my lower stomach just because a few years ago I lost a lot of weight . Since then I've been fighting them with Cocoa butter but it doesn't seem to work ..
they are the white kind not the red kind but it's so unconfortable to wear lower pants or undies when you have that problem. can you help with ideas of products or homemade recipes??? I'll try anything ..( I don't have money for laser or those expensive treatments) so If you know of something I will really appreciate if you can share it with me.. Happy holidays to everybody!

If your stretchmars are no longer red but instead light almost matching your skin tone there is really nothing you can do about them unless you surgically have the skin removed. Cocoa butter and other lotions and creams as well as some oils help make them faint but nothing will erase them completely. Learn to love your body and forget about what other people see, I assure you that you are your worst critic. Happy Holidays!

Sorry, but nothing will remove a stretch marks or sagging tummy skin except surgery. The underlying facia has been torn, and the collegen also has been compromised. You can buy anything you want, and put everything on it, and it won't change it in any way. Lazer won't remove the skin, if that is what you are thinking. If it going to resolve, it will. If you are over 30 and/ or were tremendously overweight, even time won't make it go away... It is as if you blew up a balloon let it remain blown up for a long time, then deflated it. It is all a matter of degree. Some really heavy people (over 300 lbs) when they have lost weight have resulted in a hanging bunch of skin sooooo huge that it hangs below their crotch. In some cases this skin is so massive that it threatens the circulation in their legs... You've probably seen some of those surgeries on television..... again, it is all a matter of degree. Consult a plastic surgeon.... Will the balloon ever regain its former appearance? Nope. And your tummy won't either, not by any amount that you would notice.

The Body Shop has cocoa butter and vitamin E lotions, soaps and scrubs for your skin. Either one may help you out. It's not cheap but it's not the most expensive line of products either.
How long have you been using the cocoa butter? It may take weeks or months for change to happen.

Sounds like you might need a tummy tuck to get rid of it but try Maderma..and lots of Cocoa Butter

this may sound gross but it's a real skin helper
ejaculation i know it sound gross but i'm not jokeing it helps put the elastisity back in the skin and keeps it soft so it doesn't strech.
