Expert: laura Date: 2/19/2005 Subject: stretch marks.....
Question From the time I was probably 14 to 16...I grew quite a bit....probably from about 5 foot 6 in 8th grade to about 5 foot 10 now. (I turn 17 in May) Because I got so tall so fast....I now have major stretch marks on my hips and thighs. Swimsuit season is fast approaching and I want to be able to wear a swimsuit without people seeing all my stretch marks....do you have any reccommendations on how to get rid of them besides waiting for them to fade? Do any of those creams actually work on them? Please get back to me ASAP....thanks so much!

Answer well, ive had the same prob as you!ive found that if you mosturise daily then they fade faster. use any moisturisurer it doesnt have to be one of those expensive ones. also fake tan is a lifesaver,it will cover up the strech marks until you can get a real tan!
p.s a word of warning the next place youll get strech marks is prob your bum/boobs or more around your hips so moisturise there to catch them early!
