strech marks :(

I weighed 119 pounds before pregnancy and now I weigh 127 but I'm getting bad strech marks on my thighs... Cocoa butter makes them less noticeable but they are still pretty bad .. Anything I can do other than cocoa butter that will actually get rid of them instead of just making them look better???

Get an egg crack it and use the silk stuff that's on the egg shell mix it with the egg whites and rub it on your stretch marks and they should go away slowly

Make sure you're drinking a lot of water as well.  Keeps the skin hydrated. I used mederma on them before and it just lightened them.

I made my own oil, i use raw organic cocoa butter, raw organic coconut oil,  and raw organic shea butter. Meltrit all together on the stove top and put it on a container. Once it hardens, it becomes like a buttery texture and ive used this every day once a day at night (after a shower) since i was 6 weeks. Im 30 weeks and i havent gotten any stretch marks, i haven't gotten itchy either. Im not sure it will eliminate any you already have, but it may prevent future ones!  Hope this helps

You cant get rid of them. Aftee pregnancy they should turn to a little whitish color. Almost gone. but your skin is already stretched.. thats what my doctor told me.. its like elastic once it stretches past its point theres no putting it back. Just keep using lotion and it should help from the itchkng which causes them.

Try bio oil.  But know that stretch marks can't be preventable if that's the type of skin you have.

You can try all kinds of lotions and creams but sadly its not going to get rid of them. I have them bad mainly on my stomach and with my first pregnancy I tried everything to keep from getting them. If you are going to get them you are just going to get them regardless of what you try to do to prevent them.
