I've lost a bunch of weight recently (yay!) but am getting the dreaded stretch marks. Any good remedies for this in Korea, in pharmacies or drugstores? How to say "stretch marks" in Korean?
Thanks! |

| I thought you got stretch marks because you gained weight? Maybe they become more visible after losing it? |

| Buy some lotion with Vitamin E in it. Apply it on all over your body in the morning and before you go to bed. It will HELP lighten your stretch marks but you will never get rid of it. I have both stretch marks from losing weight and also from weight lifting. From my own experience and from what I've been told, they will always be there. |

| Cocoa butter helps with stretch marks - they'll never go away without surgery but you can get them to fade to almost invisible. You can buy cocoa butter at the Body Shop and other places like it. |

When you gain weight, your skin stretches, so no, there won't be any stretch marks then.
Once you've lost weight, though, if you're young enough, your skin's elasticity works its wonders and shrinks your skin for you, so you don't have flaps... but it also means stretch marks.
I got stretch marks, luckily, only a very tiny amount of it, when I was pregnant with my daughter. I have 3 lines on either side of my waist and nowhere else! Phew! |
