    Stretch Marks

    Hello All

    Hope I'm not repeating anyone's post but anyone have tried and tested results to make stretch marks less angry looking?!

    Tried bio oil and coco butter and found it works quite well but just wondered if anyone else had any other products to share

    When I had my son I got loads of stretch marks and my gran suggested sitting in the sun to fade them as they were quite red and angry looking. I didn't fancy the sitting out in the sun with them for all to see so I did a few sunbeds and they are more of a silvery colour and faded!! The are defiantly not a noticeble
