Sorry luv...they are pretty much there to stay.

The skin has been stretched, it's like an elastic..once it's been stretched out it will never go back to it's original form.

Just live with it...people have to live with much worse.

"The body's collagen formation is at risk and it is well known that stretch marks are a zinc deficiency. So the best ways is just to take zinc supplements, such as zinc acetate, or zinc citrate or zinc gluconate. I prefer 25 mg/day taken 5 days out of a week and take it for a month before maintenance dose is needed in which case maybe once a week would do it. In some cases a stretch marks also experiences back pain or joint pain, in this case take some magnesium citrate, or magnesium chloride would do the trick. It seems that zinc and magnesium are important in preventing stretch mark however vitamin C is also needed for collagen rebuilding, but I would much prefer sodium ascobate 500 to 1000 mg as it also have an alkalizing effect on the body. This increases capillary circulation allowing the stretch to recover and hopefully restore some elasticity to the skin. I have found applying just plain vinegar or better apple cider vinegar to the skin whenever I have a skin problems helps in restoring suppleness to the skin. The other issue is skin problems are also related to your diets that is low in silicon which causes skin thickness to be reduced. So eating some food high in silica on empty stomach such as oatmeal should help."
