im 16 and i had a perfect body but then i had a beautiful baby boy and i ended up with stretch marks in the end =[ what can i do to make them fade away or go away for this summer???

Answer 1

apply vitamine E cream

Answer 2

Too bad you didn't use cocoa butter during the pregnancy, considering it would've been much more effective that way than it would be now.

Stretch marks are a cause from not having much elasticity in the skin. In result, your skin stretches far beyond its boundaries which causes scars AKA stretch marks. So because stretch marks are scars you need to treat them like scars.

Try to find a creme that will help fade scars and use cocoa butter at the same time to increase elesticity. I suggest cocoa butter and vitamin E oil, mix it together and give yourself a long massage. It won't work overnight but with constant treatment it'll do the job over time. :)

Hope that works out for you.

Keep away from Arbonne. Their products may work, but I would definitely try else where first. Keep in mind each time you buy an Arbonne product you are supporting a company that treats employees horribly. A couple years ago it was bought by Harvest Partners and since then the company has just been about profit. They don't care about their employees, the unethical practices of upper management or of many of their consultants. They took want was once a decent company and destroyed it. Trying to force it into a corporate giant. Forcing employees to work 12+ hours for days at a time was not unusual when I was there. Please do not support this establishment.

Answer 4

Sorry to break it to you- but there isn't anything you can do to remove stretch marks unless you get laser treatments. Getting tan will hide them a little, not completely, but will make them a little less noticeable.

Consider them your baby battle scars.

Answer 5

You can't really make them go away, it's like permanent. But you can fade them away.

Cocoa butter.
But don't just slap the cocoa butter on. Instead massage your skin in circular motion for 10-15 minutes.

Here's something else I got from a friend. It's called 'jean's home remedy for stretch marks', the author claims that it'll make them fade away almost completely that you won't be able to see them. You should google it and it'll explain what it's about. You'll have follow the directions correctly and have patience for it to work.
But here it is:

Tools needed:
1- massage tool.
this exact massager. (looks like 1 of those hair massaging hair brushes but the prongs are made from wood...resembles a hedgehog)

2-St Ives Apricot Scrub (recommended because it is of a rough texture
and cheap too I may add)

3-Safflower oil or olive oil. Safflower oil is very rich in Vitamin
E and known for promoting blood circulation. (only a couple of drops
needed)

4- Aloe Vera Extract or pure Aloe Vera Gel
As far as products go the purer the better - you can tell by how
clear it is or a light brownish shade and fresh smell. She
recommends Skin Gel by Aloe Life (it is available in health food
shops in USA)

5- Collagen-Elastin lotion
Recommends St.Ives brand


Step 1
Preparing the scrub
1- 3-4 tsp of scrub
2- couple of drops of safflower oil
3- 1/2 tsp of Aloe Vera gel
This should cover 1-2 square foot area. (Best if you mix each time
instead of batch if you make a batch store in sealed container in
refrigerator)

Step 2
Soften Skin in bath (best way) or shower. Don’t skip this step!

Step 3: The Scrub Massage
Do it at night before bed (for skin regeneration)
1-get rid of excess water but keep a little moisture on
2 Take your prepared scrubbing agent and apply a thin layer
3 using massager, massage the skin keep the scrub mixture moist so
massage action is smooth (if it gets dry add a little water)
Tips for massage: do it as if polishing the skin - massage the skin
not the muscles. Don’t pressure or push muscles concentrate pressure
on skin surface.
Massage the skin in clockwise 1-2" circles. Be precise. Massage over
the stretch marks in small circles motion instead of straight across
and avoid pulling or stretching the scars. May be uncomfortable in
beginning but start slow and increase strength of massage - you should
feel the stimulation and still feel comfortable.
Watch skin turn a health reddish pink color during massage indicating
active blood circulation - this is a sign you are doing it right -
each area spend about 2-3 min. (depends on individual)

4- after scrub use a piece of wet loofah or rough sponge and gently
polish scrubs for 1 more minute and rinse skin clean.

APPLY CREAMS
Dry skin and while skin is red apply creams and massage skin until
fully absorbed. Mix even amounts Aloe Gel and Collagen and Elastin
Lotion.

Vary the massage and take it slowly to give skin time to heal and
regenerate:
Breakdown:
Day 1 Exfoliation Massage; apply creams
Day 2 Skip massage. Apply creams (optional)
Day 3 Skip massage. Apply creams (optional)
Day 4 Exfoliation Massage; apply creams
Day 5 skip exfoliation massage. Apply creams (optional)
Day 6 Exfoliation. Apply creams (optional)
Day 7 skip exfoliation and apply creams
Day 8 skip exfoliation massage. Apply creams (optional)
Day 9 skip exfoliation massage. Apply creams (optional)
Do this for about 2-3 weeks basically one day on, 2 days off.
Then switch to 5 days for a cycle: massage one day then rest for 3
days. (Exfoliate twice in 10 days)
Really it depends on the individual if healing slows down as if it is
not working then reduce exfoliation to once every 10 days and do a
good one don’t rush.
Diet and Vitamins
Recommends a number of vitamins which we all know about from other
posts eg. multi, zinc and MSM also Glucosamine
Diet - the usual moderate amount of animal fats and plenty of soy and
animal protein. Also plenty of fish
OTHER TIPS
Best time for skin development is between 11pm-5am in your sleep.
If your stretch marks appear to be more obvious after the first
couple of sessions this is normal.
Also it is mentioned that drugs like the pill and anti-depressants
can contribute/cause stretch marks (because of hormone activity).
