Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Gosh, I think mine are worse, simply because I have lost so much weight, that they are very prominent. Of course I have gone through 3 pregnancies, so that didn't help either. I hope to hear something positive as well.

It never hurts to hope : ) Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I moisturize with a combination of coconut oil and Vitamin E that I mix myself. I have seen good results from Vitamin E on burns, and they say it works on stretch marks... I am probably too critical..., but I think I am having some good results.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 My favorite combination for my skin as well! And I don't have any stretch marks, just wrinkles. I've used this for a few years and I'm forever being asked what I use on my face. Sometimes it's just coconut oil right out of the jar.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hi Margaret, How old are your stretch marks? Mine took up permanent residence over 37 years ago. You could probably imagine how many remedies I've tried in that number of years. Then again, there could very well have been some changes since going raw (4 years now) but because I wasn't looking for them, it may have passed me. I've recently tried Jamaican Black Caster Oil and wheatgrass pulp (not @ the same time) but didn't use it consistently enough to see a difference. Heather you're right, it really doesn't hurt to hope. I can't even remember what my mid section looked like before stretch marks.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Mine have only been around for eight years, though I may still add a few more with subsequent children. I do know that there is lazer treatment available in CA, though it is pricey. Something about stimulating collagen production to fill in the gaps. I was hoping for a more natural and inexpensive way of improving my surface appeal! Heather --- Elaine <shortydemp wrote: > Hi Margaret, > > How old are your stretch marks?
