How can I prevent stretch marks while losing weight?

By the time you need to lose weight, the stretch marks are already there.

These marks started appearing after I lost weight... Well, I did some research and discovered that stretch marks can occur due to rapid changes in the body, not just weight gain. Apparently, they can be caused by stretching and shrinking of the skin. The weight loss might have triggered those stretch marks...

The marks might be getting more visible. But they aren’t forming. Stretch marks are scars, they aren’t flexible the way proper skin is.

If you loose weight in a slow/healthy way (1-2 kg/month), you will not really get marks. The skin has time to adjust

I don't think you can but it shouldn't matter, the weight loss is the important thing no?

[izzyisabella]

For sure, but it's still disheartening to think about having permanent marks on my body

[MementoMori777]

Don't stress about those, actually you'll notice at some point that many men might even like em or just not care for them

[In_Trance]

you can't. Correct me if I'm wrong; the stretch marks are from gaining weight...

[izzyisabella]

That's what I thought too! But here's the strange part. These marks started appearing after I lost weight...

They sell a cream that pregnant women use for stretch marks. It works for weight loss too.

I've tried lotion, creams and oils, but they don't seem to make a significant difference..

Some probably will never go away
