Wanting to start hitting this one early. Anybody had any personal experience in keeping them in check? I know cocoa butter, that's pretty much all I've heard. Any sort of vitamins, lotions, or any other methods anybody knows of?
Thanks!

Re: Stretch Marks

Well, the best method is prevention.....staying hydrated which increases elasticity of your skin. Also apply moisturizing cream to affected areas, eat healthy, and especially try to get good amounts of vitamins A, C and E....and of course try to keep your weight down.


After the fact (treatment of) you have various lotions with cocoa butter, wheat germ oil and lanolin. That's temporary though, for permanent solutions you can use laser treatments, or plastic surgery.

Newer technology chemical compounds called retinoids also seem to have some permanent effects from what I've read, but check with your doctor on that one.
