Stretch marks and how to treat them?

[CurlyGirly2]

So, I am a very athletic person and I stay in shape, but I have recently started to get stretch marks on my outer thighs, inner thigh, and outer butt. I haven't experienced major weight gain, so I don't know why it is from. I looked it up and it said it is normal when going through puberty but I didn't gain any weight at all. I have started to put moisturizer lotion on it to help, but I don't know if it actually will.

Can I get some ladies opinions on why I have them and how to get ride of them. Also right now they are quite purplish and very noticeable and I am black and white so they look really awkward against my tan skin. Will they eventually get less noticeable and closer to my skin tone?

Also if there are any guys reading this, are stretch marks unattractive? Is it like a turn off then they are pretty visible?

I used to have bad looking stretch marks and was in a similar situation I wasn't obese or anything but still it looked bad and I felt bad. Here's what to do start doing planks and thigh/hip exercises, eat better if you can more fruits and veggies less sugary crap that goes straight to the hips for a lot of people. If you drink a lot of pop or eat candy all the time and don't workout enough it can become stored as fat. Vitamin e cream works okay but this is what works the best Marc Anthony is the brand-name Hydrating Coconut Oil Body Butter is the product description I bought it at Walmart a few times now. My stretch marks are virtually gone now they are like 95% less visible and my side is almost a straight line from bottom of rib cage to my hip.

No they are not unattractive at all. If a guy says something about them he is immature and probably not the right guy for you. Its part of being a human, no one is perfect.

My parents sell this stuff (It Works! products actually do work, it isn't some scam or worthless product). We were talking to another distributor we met and she said after her pregnancy she had a ton of stretch marks and this product got rid of them. It's supposed to be for getting rid of fat on your arms or legs or wherever else but she said her stretch marks on her stomach are all gone. They are, I didn't see any when she showed her stomach. Itll probably work for you.

Thank you. But I live in a small town so I don't know if it will be in stock. I will look however.

You can order it online. Just search for It Works! websites and they'll pop out. It's all natural too. I'm not trying to force you to buy it either lol, it's your discretion.

[CurlyGirly2]

Thanks, I'll have to look for it.

There is no way to really treat them that isn't going to cost $$$ prevention is your best hope. Drink plently of water take vitamins and use vitamin e-oil on your body. Most girls get stretch marks.

[CurlyGirly2]

Ok thank you. But why do most girls get stretch marks? And I thought it was usually from weight gain

[Opinion Owner]

It's really a combination of things. Hormones affect growth rate (growing too fast) and skin elasticity, lack of moisture and extreme vigorous movement also factor in. Anyone of those can cause the layer cells to tear under your skin. of course being fat can cause them as well. My boyfriend looks like a tiger because all off his and my butt is striped just as much lol

Shea butter may work. Make sure you do not lose and gain much weight in your later years as they can get much worse.
