I couple of years ago I was over weight. Out of the blue it all fell right off. I haven't gained it back due to diet and exercise. But I still have horrible stretch marks on the upper portion of my legs. Its nothing really bad but is embarrassing to wear bathing suits and shorts. Is there a way I can get rid or reduce them? Thanks.

Stretch marks are scars. You can not make them disappear in thin air. laser is the way to go.

I have read that cod liver oil will remove stretch marks.

It's very thick and maybe I used too much, but it didn't really sink in. Maybe I should have diluted it with olive oil.

Good luck!

and if any of these tricks work, I hope you'll share your results!

If it helps, they do fade on their own over time. If you didn't start to treat them right away, I think you will have a hard time getting rid of them.

My girlfriend used Arbonne's NutriMinC RE9 Body System during her whole pregnancy and ended up with zero stretch marks! I have seen other amazing results and I have free samples if you would like them?

Request: Remedies for Stretch Marks

Archived on 06/26/2008

Does anyone have a home remedy for removing stretch marks?

I have heard that cocoa butter bought at the drug store will work. Give it a try. Hope it works for you. (04/02/2007)

RE: Remedies for Stretch Marks

I second the cocoa butter remedy. The best is the stick kind that is 100% cocoa butter. Queen Helene makes a cheap bar that works wonders. Also great for scarring when followed by the oil from a vitamin E cap. (04/07/2007)

RE: Remedies for Stretch Marks

Two words. SHEA BUTTER. There are MANY other uses for this awesome stuff, but it has done wonders for my stretch marks. DO NOT buy the junk in big chain stores like wal-mart or the grocery store or you will be wasting your cash, just like when you buy most everything else in these places. Make sure that wherever you get it, you READ THE LABEL and do not buy it unless it is PURE 100% shea butter and NOT hydrogenated or any other destroying process of the vitamins, minerals, and other infinitely beneficial constituents. I have heard nothing but great things from all the moms in my family or that I meet after trying this once I had suggested it.

Other PERFECT uses are acne and getting rid of lines and wrinkles on your face, which are first hand experiences of myself and my mom. (04/11/2007)

Try using Olive oil.Use it all the time after leaving the shower,for faster results, use cod liver oil you could often get them for a cheap price,I've had 2 children and I had plenty of stretch marks this reduced it because of the Vitamin E inside it. (05/05/2007)
