strech marks are my nightmare,and working out doesnt get rid of them.they do fade a go white after a long while. but I rate your best bet to get rid of it is to use this stuff called bio oil...in 3 weeks it will be pratically gone.also if you are really serious take primrose oil capsules those also help prevent and fade strech marks

Something which is very good for removing both strech marks and scars is pure vitamin 'E' oil. It is not very expensive, you just rub a 'small' amount on in the morning and at night, and after a few weeks they will begin to fade and eventually will disappear. Also, coconut oil and vitamin 'E' in equal amounts is good for removing streach marks.

You have a better chance of it disappearing if you treat it while it's still fresh. You might also want to apply the above mentioned anywhere you might think it's possible to get stretch marks, ex. the inside of your arms near your arm pitt, after your daily shower. It'll help your skins elasticity.

Baby oil works great for that. Long as you put something oily on your skin to keep it moist. For a long time in my family anyone that gets pregnant ... puts baby oil from their neck to knees every night before they go to bed and have never had any stretch marks! ;)Good idea to use it in the shower taurie, that's what I do 'fore I get out of the shower every day. Makes ya all soft and sexy too! Thank goodness baby oil is cheap! I'd be in trouble. hehe :)
