Had a major weight loss, now I'm left with stretchmarks. Advice?

[Anonymous]

In the last year I went from 165lbs to 115lbs at 5'2". Now I'm overjoyed with my weight loss but I'm left with some knarley stretch marks. They're all over my hips and lower back, they've faded so they're not too too bad but I'm super self conscious about them, especially with summer here now. Any tips on what I can do to make them look at bit better? I know I can't get rid of them but are there things I can do to reduce their appearance?

Stretch marks are a very, very tricky thing. They will always be there unless you have that skin removed - which you have to be approved for and they typically only remove skin that is sagging.

Sephora sells a lot of products that can be used to reduce the redness of stretch marks and thin them out, but there is no getting rid of them, because stretch marks are basically scars.

I have the same problem. Can you tell me which are the products that thin out the stretch marks

I've never used it, but the Clarins stretch mark minimizer is supposed to.

Bio oil works I've heared. But well done!!! Those stretch marks are worrior wounds, a badass mark that show what you've achived... Your tiger stripes if you will!

I love stretch marks - badass

Congrats on the weight loss though!

Thanks. I'm up to squatting 40lbs, pretty damn proud.

coco butter on it or Aloe moisturizer or both at different times of the day. and make sure you dont expose the stretch marks to sun too much as it'll worsen.

Speaking from experience :)

Use Retin-A. It is a prescription product and the ONLY thing for which there is any evidence that it works.
