A friend of mine used it throughout her pregnancy and it really minimised the stretches of the rapid growing stomach. I used it on my thighs and the buttocks. Very effective; quicker than coco butter I thought. But it won't cheap tbh.... Worth every penny. UWc

Potato Juice.
1. Cut a medium-sized potato into thick slices.
2. Take one piece and rub it gently in a circular motion on the stretch marks for few minutes(5-15), making sure the liquid covers the area.
3. Allow to dry for sometime(1-3mins) and then wash it off with lukewarm water.

if u can't get the local coconut oil. Pure virgin coconut oil is good. U can get It in any cosmetics shop.

well the first thing you'll have to do is to put whatever is giving you or causing the stretch marks in check, you can't continue trying to cure it when you haven't know the cause.

Most times its a sign of weight gain, you'll need to either reduce or stop eating too much fats, bevragies, much intake of water,in-active life style, sexual activities, too tight clothings e.t.c.

When that is done, then you can try any of the methods and see if it'll bear good result, also remember to be patient, most methods take 4-6weeks, and when is its cured, please don't return to your previous lifestyle has it would resurface again.

Last reason could be your skin type, there are many methods, i personally know 10, just got additional 2 from Aminat now to add up to 12,, keep trying each method to see which works for you, but remember you'll need to know the cause of it in the first place, and put a stop to it before proceding with any cure.

iamsodium:

Okay, let us know if it works,, never knew of it, didn't even know there was a finished product for stretch marks, anyways like going natural the herbal way, don't like too much chemicals.

Hmmmmm

Thnks a lot for this dear. Well as for what caused the stretch mark,like I said earlier,I suspected was a cream called G n G and am talking abt way back in 2001 or 2002(dats quite a long time ago) it jus appeared out of nowere,lol! Since then I hvnt had dem anywere else and dnt pray ,wch was wat made me cconclude it was dat cream. I actually do hav a slim frame so weight gain might jus be out of it too,even tho I'm looking for how to pile on d weight esp on some areas*winks*lol. Sexual activities? Hmmm,no comment on dat. As for water,I try a lot but d problem is taking water when u know u might be on d road for sometime say in trafic and all,so I hav a prob wti dat except am at home or out smwer for long I can risk dat. I tink I shd try d irish one for now and see,anytin jus to reduce d appearances of d lines abit more or stop it from further spreading(I wld hate to see it elsewere outside my bum o,lol)

Yeah, i know you mentioned the cream and you are very right about the cream(maybe) the cause, i was just giving a full detail for other readers, just incase.

Some creams have very high compositions of chemicals responsible for bleching, and when such creams/lotions are used it would/may cause stretch marks, am sure you bought the cream believing it would give you results in 3-7days, right ? Well those creams are all lies, its only Herbals(Natural fruit extracts) that can achieve such feat within such a short time, and you'll still have to be careful.

Brb to read, make i run go fellowship first.
