Stretch marks.....please help

[josaphine32]

My daughter who is 16 has very bad stretch marks we have tried Palmers cocoa butter for stretch marks, but it has not helped, can anyone help with something that would work, the marks are on her hips and thighs l dont think she is to much over weight, ,she is a size 10/12 but is really conscious over the marks, and when i was pregnant i had really bad stretch marks which have faded but beeing 16 its very hard for.

thanks jo

bio oil? i haven't tried it myself but my friend who's just had a baby used it though pregnancy and she hasn't any. Or maybe fake tan? you can have a injection that will get rid of them for a few months but it's about £150 per session. I can look it up on the internet for you if your willing to pay that much.

Have you tried Rosa Mosqueta Oil? It is supposed to be good for stretch marks and scars. I haven't tried it for stretch marks but my sister has for a 4 inch by 0.5 inch scar from an arm abscess she had as a teenager. I've been looking at this scar for most of my life, and when she showed me the improvement I was astonished. It gives the skin the raw materials needed to carry out the repair. You have to rub it in for 2-3 mins each time. Look at this website for testimonials: www.riorosa.co.uk. Hope it helps.

My friend went from a size 16 to a size ten and was worried about the stretch marks she might get from loosing the weight so she'd use bio oil, she found it very good

there is nothing you can do about stretch marks unfortunately. you either get them or you don't, nothing you rub on makes any difference. once you have them you just have to wait for them to fade, just as yours have done josaphine.
my son suffered from stretch marks at a similar age due to a huge growth spurt and we looked into it for him. however i didn't get any stretchmarks during my pregnancies, despite having two whopping great babies. it really is the luck of the draw.

Brilliant stuff :)

I can recommend it personally. It must be applied regularly though.

Yes the bio oil is good. Its not so much being overweight but growing a bit fast. My daughter got stretch marks at that age as well. she is not over weight. she had a growth spurt and they appear but have now faded.

thanks all, I will try the bio oil first, if that does not work we will try the mamamio,

Something really baffles me, some years back I worked in geriatrics,none of the old ladies had stretch marks and they all had children,it can't even be an age thing because a few of them were only in their sixties,I wonder why?.
