Question Hi
I have stretch marks all over my thighs mostly on the side, on my knees..my knee is a darker shade which makes it worse, the stretch marks between thighs and butt is really indented and really light colour. I've tried using tanning creams but i think it made it worse because the skin around it got darker but the stretch marks stayed same colour. It's getting worse and i don't even feel comfortable wearing shorts. I'm pretty sure its because I've been growing taller very quickly.
I was wondering if there are any other options that could minimize the look of stretch marks permanently instead of just covering it?
and I was also wondering if putting on weight would help minimize it or make it worse?
Thank you!
Answer I am sorry to hear you're facing an unpleasant challenge! But good news is I can recommend some great products for you to try out.
1. Strivectin-SD Intensive Concentrate for Existing Stretch Marks
I do have some stretch marks myself due to lack of circulation and I love this product! I am gradually getting the result and I have been using this for only one week. It is an ultra concentrated formula therefore you only need a small amount and it goes along way. It will tell you the instruction you need to know of how to use it as well. You can use this only up to 3 times in 24 hrs period.
2. Dr. Murad Cellulite Solution. This product will help with losing lumps, bumps, dimples and stretch marks. I used this before and I enjoyed it.
I do not know if putting on weight will help minimize the appearance. But I would try to the above products first, I think you would enjoy them very much! Please let me know on the results and if you like them at all. I would recommend going to Sephora store and asked them for samples to try before you purchase them as well.
