For those of you out there who don’t know what stretch marks are for, allow me to explain. When a person gains weight, the skin will sometimes get ugly dents that kind of run in lines. They start out red or purple and often fade to a silvery white. For most people, these are permanent even after weight loss. The weight gain doesn’t have to be from fat – it can be from an increase in muscle too. That makes the cropping up of stretch marks especially insulting.
Different products and treatments have been produced to help prevent or diminish the appearance of stretch marks and one of the most common is the use of cocoa butter creams on the stretch marks. Of course then you can have cocoa butter stretch marks because this doesn’t always work. Asking your doctor for ideas is always a good way to go.
