stretch marks

[Beef]

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.

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.

It's a good thing, some of mine are like 5mm thick...people think you been knifed!

Yup :nod:

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.

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

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.

[Specter]

Whats wrong with stretch marks? :-s

[fudoc5]

for those who have used bio oil with success, does it just fade out the stretch marks after the first application (like makeup)? or do you need to keep using over a period of time before it starts to fade out?

[Peachy]

You need to use it for ages. Time is really the best thing that helps them fade. They go from purply red to sorta white but usually wont disappear completely. And if you are still getting bigger and bigger they wont fade as quick. Prevention is better than treatment so using bio oil before they appear.

You can disguise them with tanning but often that skin wont tan as its scar tissue kinda. Fake tan also helps to hide them.

Is bio oil any good at re-elasticising loose skin? Or is it more for pigmentation issues?

[Peachy]

Lol theres not many products out there that re-elasticise loose skin. Thats what most of the anti aging face creams are tryna do but still waiting on the miracle cream.

Best bet for that would be to try an anti-cellulite cream. They normally "work" by firming and tightening the skin. Try Loreal Perfectslim it kinda tightens your skin as it dries. I used to put it on my thighs then put on those tube bandages to compress them overnight. Depends on where you loose skin is tho.
