Simple story kept short: I have plenty of stretchmarks all over my body. My stomach, thights, shoulders, biceps, knees, almost everywhere on my body. It's disgusting to look at.
On top of that, I have psoriasis. So that also doesn't look all too good.
Combine the two together and you have a pretty bad-looking body right there.
I know the stretchmark creams don't work. So what other things can I look at? |

I'm so sorry! 
I have this same problem, too, and know how hard it is on the self esteem to have scars. I know everyone has their problems, but it would be nice if ours weren't out there for everyone to see, wouldn't it? 
Unfortunately, the only thing that I've really found to help with the stretch marks is time. That being said, I have found that self tanner actually does help to hide both scars and stretch marks, and although it doesn't solve the problem, it does help to hide it a bit. I tried the Jergens Natural Glow after seeing the reviews on the forum and would definitely recommend it.
I really wish you good luck!  |

Unless they are recent and still red, I don't think anything will get rid of stretchmarks, sorry
Regarding the psoriasis, you could try emu oil as it is anti inflammatory and very moisturising. If your skin can take it, you could try gentle exfoliation with a body brush or maybe aha lotions. It will look much better and will also take fake tan better if it is exfoliated and moisturised.

Im eight months along with my 3rd. Ive been using a mixture of pure vit e, wheat germ oil, cocoa butter, shea butter and castor oil (a little its thick) along with Reviva's 9 months and NO new stretch marks have reared their ugly head!!
it sounds like a lot - but I do a mix once a week in a little tupper w. tub.
occasionally i use real aloe vera on my skin too.
Drink lots of water and do skin brushing.
I also must add that my 5 year old stretch marks have even improved!! |
