I have them on my boobs, butt and upper thighs from growing too fast ... I know people say working out is the best but I play volleyball, so I work out ALOT & they just won't go away. & they're just embarrassing. What's should I do?!
I played volleyball and soccer in high school, and I have them on my butt, my sides, upper thighs and behind the calves of my legs. I loathe them, but I started using this stuff called Cocoa Butter by Hollywood Beauty and the stretch marks that used to purple became lighter so they are not as noticeable. You should definitely try that, and it comes in a huge plastic container for only about $3. I got it at a place in my hometown called The Beauty Supply Warehouse.
What I did was buy microdermabrasion crystals from eBay. It doesnt cost that much at all and I mixed it with palmers stretch mark oil and gently massaged it over my stretch marks for about 5 mins. Then I showered to wash off the crystals and applied some bio oil to the same areas. If u feel that this process is too consuming try using mederma stretch mark therapy. That works great by itself but the crystals fade those embarrasing dark marks quicker for me and i used the mederma in the morning and at night.
My son developed stretch marks when he bulked up working out in the gym, so guys get them as well! Ayway we found a product called Silderm stretch mark repair cream and as it has been tested clinically and shown to work we tried it. Takes a couple of months to get the full effect, but they are just pale lines now instead of the deep angry red scars. Not cheap but you get what you pay for and it's a bit less drastic (and cheaper) than sand blasting the skin!
Stretch marks I must say one of the worst frustrating giving marks in my body usually these are found after post pregnancy periods in women but in men these are also found vary rare, I must suffered from these issues in my thighs I don't know the fact how could I get these marks but really after using some stretch marks creams it would be more relief. http://www.spasentiments.com/stretc...
Vitamin e oil. I used it while I was pregnant and I dont have a single stretch mark. It worked wonders for me and it's very inexpensive. Use just a small amount and rub it into the problem areas.
