Nice post there!

However, this is a more organized and readable version of what 'Turner20' wants to pass across.

Stretch marks is now turning into an everyday topic. Because, in one way or another each and everyone of us is involved. If you have been pregnant, added few weight or have been a regular weight lifter. You have high tendency of seeing stretch marks at one part of your body or the other.

Just know that these stretch marks are curable-and I mean totally removed from your skin. But not without patient and commitment. Many of us do prefer some fast action through using drugs, creams, supplements and expensive surgeries. Honestly, these quick fix methods does not come without side effects. If you calmly look closely around you, you will see the side-effects of stretch mark quick-fix-methods on one or two persons.

This is not them-say matter...if you have seen, I have seen tragic health/skin side-effects of quick-fix(especially in stretch marks removal and weight loss).

However, my advice is to use "NATURAL METHODS"! Natural methods are better and safe. But you have to give it say 2-5months.

I will like to chip in extra natural methods to help you totally remove stretch marks from your skin. One of the reasons why it may take a little more time to get rid of stretch marks is because it occurs on Dermis (the middle layer of the skin). Thus, as a result of when the connective tissue is stretched due to the expansion and contraction of skin or due to penetration of small fat particles into the connective tissue.

With the stretch in skin, the collagen gets weak, and the elastin fibres start tearing. Due to this, its normal production cycle gets damaged or interrupted.

This results in the formation of fine scars under the epidermis or the top layer of the skin. Initially, they appear red or pink, but gradually, they turned into thin silvery line and are called Stretch marks (cellulite).

Stretch marks can make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable about your appearance. Fortunately, below are several extra ways to get ride of those your annoying stretch marks.

-Castor Oil
-Aloe Vera
-Lemon juice
-Sugar
-Potato Juice
-Water
-Olive oil
-Cocoa butter
-Egg white
-Alfalfa leaves
-Physical exercises

If you had tried any of the above and it failed to work for you; one of these could be your problem. Either, you didn't do it well or you lacked commitment and patience.

Give these methods a trial and share your testimony with others...
