How do I get rid of stretch marks on my hips and thys?

I know, almost every woman has them, but it's annoying and is there a way i can get rid of them?

I don't have much, a few on the side of my butt, anyways I highly recommend exfoliating the area every time you shower and then hydrate the area with a deep moisturizer. Most people tend to gravitate towards cocoa butter, but I like to use cetaphil's heavy body cream. I also can't stress enough how important drinking water is! Mine have lighten up significantly, to the point where it's hardly visible. Don't expect instant results, just be patient :)

You can't really get rid of them altogether but cocoa butter does do an amazing job at reducing the appearance of stretch marks.

To get them to go away permanently you're going to need to get surgery, but it's expensive. If your marks are red or dark right now, they end up fading to a color of your skin tone.

oh no just im thin, not overweight, but they are just annoying to look at

The surgery isn't for weight, it's to remove the scar tissue. Stretch marks are combination of hormones and expanding skin.
