You're not alone. I am a 20 year old guy and I had stretch marks from being overweight and my partner from being underweight. Both moving int he right direction now though.
I would suggest Omega 3 enriched food (or supplements), other essential fatty acids, frink your 1.5 llitres of water each day, no smoking, no toxins (cut down on the booze if you drink and try to stop the caffeine you probably get from coffee, tea, cola and chocolate) and try to get your 5-a-day. All of this should benefit your skin. You should find clearer skin, tighter skin, hopefully improvements witht he stretcharks and healthier hair and nails.
Water, fruit and veg are very much under-rated. Especially water. It's nature's little miracle. Really!
I am taking ym own advice right now as I am trying to avoid saggy skin as I am losing weight. Fingers crossed for all of us, eh? |

I really understand how your feeling. I'm 16 and I have them on my boobs, legs and hips and it makes me feel really low and it makes me feel like I'm the only one!
I feel like I can't wear bikinis or short skirts.
I've heard that bio oil is good. I'm going to give it a try. Also they say if you get a tan it makes them look better too.
I've been researching them and I feel more confident knowing I'm not the only 16 year old with them.
My advice to you would be try to feel more confident and I'm sure your boyfriend won't mind if he truly loves you. |

Bio oil is REALLY good. I'm 17, a guy, and weighed 260 lbs....I lost 70 lbs, and weigh 190......but the stretch marks were still there. So I was determined that I wasnt going to let that deter me. Ive done research, and heard that stretch marks are in fact permanent unless you have surgery....but there are ways to have them almost invisible. And it ESPECIALLY helps us when we're young.
I use CoCo butter (the thicker the better...but I also use their actual stretch mark lotion) after exfoliating in the shower...then I apply plenty of bio oil on top of that. That alone has really done the trick for me. Unless I pull on my skin, you cant see them.
I am about to go to GNC to get any kind of skin supplement, and combine that with a lot more water intake...and I'm sure that'll help immensely as well.
Good luck! |

Hey, don't worry that much about them. The majority of females out there get them at some point in time. I'm 19 now and I've had them, I got them from the rapid onset of my breasts. (They just kind of popped out of nowhere) BUT! Like I said, do NOT worry about it. While almost every treatment I can think of for these is a long annoying process the end result is them disappearing or not being as noticeable.
While I use cocoa butter day in and day out... it is what helped with mine and now they are gone. (This wasn't a week long treatment keep in mind it was a good long time before they were completly gone.) Some people don't like the smell of this product, or they don't see results right off the bat. So my advice is the following:
First go to a store that carries a variety of skin care products and lotions (something like CVS, Target, Wal-mart, ect. ect.) Pick up a lotion or gel that is typically used for this problem (a lot of the time the bottle will say), make sure it has Vitamin E in it (this helps repair skin and tissue cells), if it has something like aloe it is a bonus... but from there chose something that you will like and be able to use twice a day for awhile.
ALSO! Don't buy a huge bottle first, get a small one to make sure the product doesn't irraite your skin or anything like that.
Good luck. |
