Body: Stretch Marks




Source of Recipe


Barbara P.
a family member told me years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter to rub pure coco butter twice daily over my stomach and breasts. When my daughter was born, there were no stretch marks at all on my stomach. Now in my fifties, I've been passing this information on to my daughter, daughters of friends and anyone I knew who was pregnant. My daughter now has 3 sons and no stretch marks. But once you have stretch marks it is difficult to get rid of. The key is
prevention.

Some seemed skeptical but they did it and no stretch marks. It really works. I use to buy the Hersheys coco butter directly from a pharmacy.

ANOTHER OPINION:

Caused from pregnancy, rapid weight loss and even growth spurts. No cream in the world will completely eliminate stretch marks, only fade them which helps quite a bit. Stretch marks do fade in time on their own.

One recommended way to reduce the appearance of stretch marks is to lift weights, it will help to tighten the surrounding skin making it appear smoother.
