So You Wanna Get Rid of Your Stretch Marks?

[Anonymous]

I have noticed quite a few questions asked by girls (and the occasional guy) wondering what people think about stretch marks (searchy searchy). The general consensus seems to be that people don't really care about them, but we all know that won't stop girls from obsessing over them. This is understandable considering the society we live in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone's beautiful no matter what you're body looks like, but let's be honest, even if you don't care about it, skin without stretch marks does look better than its identical counterpart with stretch marks.

If you're content with being a tiger-lady who has "earned her stripes" then good for you! If you don't like how they look, I'm going to show you what I did to get rid of mine...

When I grew about 8 inches in my early years of high school, I got a decent amount of stretch marks on both of my hips. I recently decided to get rid of them for no particular reason other than I just didn't like how they looked. It's been just over two weeks since I started and I can barely see them now.

This is what you'll need, all of which can be cheaply bought at Wal-Mart:

1. One of these:

2. Summa dis:

3. And a little bottle of this:

All you have to do is, while in the shower, apply the coconut scrub to the rougher side of the loofa, and then scrub your skin wherever you have stretch marks you want to get rid of. I spend about a minute or two on each area. Once you've done that, your skin will feel super smooth. After you get out of the shower and dry off, rub some of the vitamin E oil onto the area with the stretch marks. You only need to do this process about once every 3 days, and you should see results relatively quickly! The best part is, once they're gone you don't have to do it anymore (unless, of course, you experience weight gain/loss which creates more). Give it a try and let me know what your results are!

there are also things like manuka honey, jojoba oil, argan oil, rosehip oil, sea backthorn oil, tamanu oil, amla paste, premium quality olive oil. geranium, ylang ylang, lavender essential oils. and comfrey, elecampane, and saw palmetto. research all of these and see what works for you.

some of these are even able to heal deep scars not just strechmarks...

Yeah, my main purpose in writing this was because of how many different methods there are. It can be overwhelming so I just wanted to give some easy, straightforward instructions based on what worked for me.

you could use a paste of epsom salt and aloe everyday to get rid of them in just a few weeks. (:

[myTake Owner]

Oh sweet, did that work for you?

[SuklaaTryffeli]

Oh bullshit. Maybe you can get rid of the small hardly visible ones but the bigger one... they are scars. They are not going anywhere.

[myTake Owner]

Thank you anonymous being of absolute knowledge.

[SuklaaTryffeli]

No problem. Your take was just full off lies do I just simply had to tell the truth. After all, spreading false information to insecure teens is not very good thing to do.

[myTake Owner]

And this is what I get for not blocking anons from commenting. It worked for me, and my girlfriend just started it last week and it's already working for her too (and her stretch marks are bigger than mine were). I'm not spreading false information. I just provided the method that I used to SUCCESSFULLY get rid of mine. If it doesn't work for you (not that you would know since you obviously haven't even had time to try it), that's unfortunate, but you didn't really lose anything and it was worth the try.

Now please go take your social justice warrior BS elsewhere. The poor little insecure teens can think for themselves.

[SuklaaTryffeli]

I'm not anon anymore. It doesn't change anything. My opinion stays the same. My profile doesn't tell shit. You happy?

It's juat it, that insecure teens can't always think themselves. They are willing to go to the extremes and try all kids of things to please others. They don't think if it's smart.

And I used to be insecure teen too. I tried all kinds if methods to get rid of my scars. They are still there. It was waste of time and money. And I did it because I wanted to look better for others because "skin without stretch marks does look better than its identical counterpart with stretch marks."

Sure people can try it. This is not the silliest thing I've heard of, but it doesn't always work.

Oh is that one little sentence what offended you so greatly? So I guess the part where I pointed out that most people don't care about them, including the link to hundreds of questions verifying my statement, might as well not exist huh? And the motivational picture supporting women with stretch marks... what a waste of space. And you know what? Sarcasm aside, it is a waste of space. An insecure person (aka most teens) isn't going to change their minds either way from one internet article. Accepting oneself is a complex journey that takes a long time, maturity and dedication to achieve.

I understand where you're coming from, but I don't believe trying to shelter them from the truth helps. We have differences in opinion which is fine, but arguing on here about it clearly isn't going to change either of our minds.

Also, I never said it always works or even works at all. I said it worked for me. You should try it and come back here in two weeks and let me know if it made any difference :)

[SuklaaTryffeli]

Nothing "offended" me. Just annoyed. What? Don't I have right to share my opinion?

We don't really have that different opinions but I just choose not to believe in miracle cures for stretchmarks. And maybe you will get answers from other people because I'm done with these things. Good luck.

I have little stretch marks but I just have gotten use to them.

[myTake Owner]

Yeah, same here. They're not a big deal. I just got rid of mine to see if I could.

I consider faded stretch marks pretty cool. I wouldn't want them removed :3.

[RainbowFanGirl]

I have stretch marks on my stomach. This was a very good read! Thank you.

[LeeLFC]

Does this really work? If it does I'll try it out.

[myTake Owner]

It definitely worked for me. Give it a try and let me know what your results are :)
