hey i love your site!! but i've got a question about my body. around my thighs and alot behind my calves, i have stretch marks, is there anyway that i can get rid of it? is there an excersize to get rid of it or some medicine to get rid of it? Since i have these stretch marks, i have a low self esteem and im not confident wearing anything short such as a skirt. what can i do? what advice do you have?

Some people say Cocoa Butter is good for eliminating stretch-marks. And also maybe try rubbing a mixture of olive oil and aromatic herbs onto the affected areas

Cocoa Butter does help! I know from experience! Also, dont worry! If the stretch marks are a redish color now, they'll eventually turn clear! And, they'll be hardly noticable.

Nah...they're not expensive at all...if you have four dollars! Whoop! You're in! ....CVS is a good place to get the cocoa butter...or places like Target or Walmart

Im not sure on how long it takes for them to go away,but i guess the big thing to remember is to be patient. If your looking at the stretch marks constantly and waiting for them to disappear,you wont see the effects the cocoa butter or whatever else you use. So just use it as directed,and wait and see what happens. But i would imagine it starts improving them after a few applications.
Good luck

Dear Jus me:
Hope the butter work for you.
Just wanted to add something I learned.
There are different types of stretch marks:
1.) Ones you get from pregnancy which can be reduced or cured with special creams from drug stores.
2.) From growing (usually white in colour) can't be removed. Like suggested, I heard that coco butter will reduce them, but I don't know if it will vanish completely.

Newer ones are reddish or purpleish, I believe, and old ones are white or light colored. I have some too on my butt but it's better than having no ass in my opinion lol
