Whats the best way to stop stretch marks?

There is no way. I've been using palmers cocoa butter, which women swear by, but hey, I still got stretch marks. It's based on genetics. Just because one woman supposedly prevented them, doesn't mean anything apart from the fact she simply just wasn't going to get them. I'm having a hard time convincing my boyfriend I would've gotten them no matter what. He believes it should've worked since his cousin never got them. That's bull. I'm not her or any other woman, and honestly, I've become pretty proud of my stretch marks.

BUT, it's a good idea to moisturize whether you get them or not. Skin stretching dries out, and especially if you DO get them, dry stretch marks burn a little, it's not fun. Plus, it helps minimize itching. If you get stretch marks, don't stress. They fade after pregnancy for the most part and really are not that big of a deal.

I have to agree- I am very fortunate that my family history is pretty much Stretch mark free except for a couple I got from growing as a teenager in to an adult. Just make sure you are really just using natural products free of fragrences and chemical components, your skin is the largest layer and absorbs the most than any other body part.

I use stuff from Europe but my family sent it- not so much for stretch marks but to relieve the itching caused by the stretching skin.

make sure you eat healthy and exercise on regular basis.

Sadly Stretch marks are genetics and even though so many products swear they work- its not true.

It is always good to use Lotion that has Vitamin E I used Burts Bees Products before my family send me the other stuff.

Good luck and chin up- after all stretch marks are not the worst thing in the world, don't fear them, relax and know that if you got them there is woman out there who would kill to be able to have them.

Whether you get stretchmarks or not depends totally on genetics. There is no product on the market (natural or otherwise) which has been proven to improve or reduce stretchmarks. I mean, how is that testable? A woman could have had the same results if she rubbed sand on her belly, or if she did a ceremonial pagan sacrifice of a dead chicken and rubbed the blood on her. Sorry, not trying to be sarcastic, but really. . . there is nothing you can do other than try to balance your weight gain, don't gain more than the recommended amount, and pray that your skin is nice and elastic thanks to the genes your mom and dad gave you.
