how do you guys deal with stretch marks?

[newbieguy]

Do any of those creams actually work?

 

[BodybuilderX]

I've heard of Bio-oil, that along with tanning often should reduce stretch marks. I don't have any stretch marks but i know lots who do.

Good luck

 

[GrayMatter]

Mederma works.

 

[Alert/10]

Try the derma roller, lots of positive reviews, but I've never used myself

Strech marks are part of the game brotha. Not a whole lot you can do for them when your body is growing at a fast rate. So get a tan and enjoy the fruits of your labor. lol

 

[J-Radical]

Stretch marks = its working

agreed works really well

Yeah, if you got them through hard training and good habits, it is something to be proud of. If it's due to obesity; then its a whole different story.

I'd go with the cocoa butter suggestion and add the usage of a loofah sponge over the affected area when you are showering. And, if you aren't already, add Vit E to your diet.

You should be proud to have them because of muscle mass haha....but for fat...that's when you should worry...

 

[Hockeyplaya18]

I have em, and all I do is try to avoid more, so I suggest to everyone who doesnt have them to rock some Vitamin E cream/oil on possible stretch mark areas (Chest, Lats, glutes...etc) I have em now but the tanning covers them up really good, and the vitamin has done wonders in preventing any more from appearing.

 

[shane77wa]

bio oil worked well for me!

 

[warkhawk]

I wear mine proudly.

I also think I'm just prone to stretch marks.

 

[GoPro]

Coco butter, or wear them with pride!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nightmare007]

Only thing that works for sure is laser I have em all over wear em proudly

 

[silentshorty]

Co-co butter works and tanning will help the color variation. If you like tattoos that can work to hide them as well. Stretch marks are natty there just battle scars

 

[krugger]

I have used co-co butter before some years ago and it actually works. Tanning doesn't really work(or make sense) for someone of a darker complexion such as myself. There was also a roll-on thing that I bought while in Dominican Republic which I used, but I can't remember the name of it to save my life right now.

I personally don't have any stretch marks.
My gf have stretch marks on her thighs. Tanning makes them a lot less visible.
