I understand how frustrated ure and I must say stretchies' one of the most annoying skin problems...that is difficult to treat/remove
I have some slight ones on my shoulders got from using bad products in the past (year ago)
"BIOTONE"..."SIVOCLAIR"...."CAROTONE"..."RAPID CLAIR" and other products I've forgotten about but these are the ones I remember tho I just can't single what made me get the stretchies but I think these are all part of the culprits)
And "DODO SOAP" gave me little stretchies like scars at my back pelvic Region...yeah "DODO SOAP" did that to me
I Used "DODO LOTION" early this year (for 3weeks) too but I can't tell if it added up making it Worse or Nah
It's been almost 3months since I stopped lightening(just exfoliating using GA/LA) cos of busy school schedules plus I've also decided to focus thoroughly on removing these annoying stretchies that has been an insecurity to me
Cocoa butter..Sheabutter and all these Skinbuilding oils take lot of time...Can even take almost a year to notice a vivid Change on Stretchies"
Well throughout this "almost 3 months".... I've been using rubbing these plus sunscreen
"Meladerm stretchmark therapy "
"Bio Oil"
"Sheabutter "
"Cocoa butter "
"Johnson Baby's oil" (all oils combined in a jar)
I've noticed slight change on 'em
And cos I'm focusing thoroughly getting rid of it I've decided to resume lightening around EARLY MARCH....most at times I'm tempted to use my lighteners tho but I don't get give in lol
Sorry for the long rants lol
But since u wanna get rid of urs too....just stop applying lightening products and pamper ur BODY "WITH SKINBUILDING OILS" for some months
Yh u will lose some "shades"(lightening) tho
don't give up but INCASE U can't wait for that long get LASER TREATMENT if only it's readily available at ur location it's expensive but it's one of the most effective way to erase 'em
Well since ure a Naija base
Most Nigerian ladies claim "PYTHON FAT(snake)" works on stretchmarks I'm in some of their skincare groups and most testify to it that it works" I haven't personally used that though
Some of the group members too claimed "ASPIRIN + LEMON JUICE" and moisturising with "SHEABUTTER "afterwards worked quicker on their stretchies
Hope something works out for u @
