Stretch marks do fade...
over
time (about six to twelve months) and
become much less noticeable than they
are when they are new. There is little
you can do when you have stretch marks
without the intervention of a
dermatologist or plastic surgeon though
much research is going on in this area.
- There are many
collagen creams on the market which
claim to improve stretch marks,
such as those featured in the
products
section.

Tretinoin -
Retin A
- Cocoa butter
cream claims to soften scars
- Some people
think zinc supplements help but as
with all supplements, check with
your doctor.
- Fake tanning
creams and lotions can camouflage
stretch marks but regular
suntanning will not help as they
are not pigmented and will not
change colour in the sun as the
rest of your skin will.
Home remedies include:
- vitamin E oil,
which some believe can help
prevent
stretch marks in the first
place
- olive oil
- caster
oil
- coffee
beans
- peanut
butter
