Before you start spending loads of money on different creams or surgeries, there are a few simple techniques you can try on your own at home. If your stretch marks are not too severe or aged, you can try taking a body brush and scrubbing the affected areas while in the shower. This loosens up the skin, and removes the dead skin on top, leaving fresh, more normal colored skin underneath.
The easiest, cheapest way to start is to try different creams. Creams such as cocoa butter or other natural vitamin E products will increase your skin’s flexibility. There are also creams that will improve the regeneration of your cells, such as Vitamin A or AHAs creams. You can also talk to your doctor about getting a prescription stretch removal cream.

Massaging the skin with Vitamin E oil/cream or taking Vitamin E capsules helps in making stretch marks fade away or less noticeable. Check out http://nm0.org for more information.

Mederma cream may reduce the appearance of stretch marks, but it will not get rid of them. Because stretch marks are caused when skin is suddenly stretched, it makes these marks. The only way to actually get rid of them is to excersize and lose weight.

Stretch marks are the result of a rapidly increasing tension in the skin. Most frequently they develop in the abdomen during pregnancy. The purple look will eventually fade to a silvery white but despite popular belief they never completely disappear.

Get a even tan, don't over-do. and use coca butter, strong first ingredient in lotion or jar. It helps' scars, too- or ask dermatologist for the newest, but it is good and cheapest.
Exercize, to tighten the skin. I had red-purple about 1/2 inch wide, 1/8 " deep furrowed and but I am better, only after 30 years! Didn't do anything right away- too busy and didn't think to try.

Massaging on the stretch marks serves as an excellent home remedy for stretch marks removal. You can either use olive oil, flaxseed oil, vitamin E oil or cod liver oil for the purpose of massage. Check out http://useinfo-stretchmarks.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.

you can have it lightened by a dermatologist. or you can use a cover-up make up to hide those stretch marks.
