stretch marks

as of late I've been noticing that I'm developing some pretty prominent stretch marks in my shoulder girdle region as well as on my upper arms. is this "normal" as such? I assume it's to do with the fact that the muscle is growing faster than the skin.

cheers

For some people, rapid weight gain or loss can cause stretch marks. You need to get some rosehip oil its thicker and better than bio oil, you can buy it from the health shop and rub it into the stretch marks daily.

You can dream of success, or take steps to succeed.

thanks for that, will look into getting myself some rosehip oil. will it reduce the scarring? or is it meant to help stop the marks spreading?

Ive found it fades the scars and smooths out the skin. Ive had clients use it too with excellent results. The reason I prefer Rosehip to Bio oil, is the later can make sensitive skin break out, just personal experience. All the best.

That's what I heard too, and one German dude I knew had it on his list of stuff to buy in bulk and take home. True story. Apparently it kicked the ass of teh stuff back home.

Good enough never is...

Yup

Add bio oil to your bath and soak init. And put it on straight after a bath or shower when you skin is still warm. Nothing can get rid of them but you can fade them heaps and prevent new ones.

Look cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in.

Bio Oil? Man that's a relief. Girls keep asking if I have some sort of STD.

lmbo

stretch marks suck but like all the above, use it daily, quite good after a shower (bio oil or rosehip). I wonder if tanning covers it? :-s

Great post cantygirl. I had not heard of Rosehip for stretch marks.
