Stretch marks

I've been getting really bad stretch marks. My mom told me to try aloe vera! And it has definitely helped! My stretch marks are becoming lighter! I use the actual plant and cut a piece off each day and rub it all over. I layer it on and wait till it dries (it can get itchy so avoid scratching!) Then take a shower. After I shower I apply Palmers cocoa butter. It's been helping me out figured it could help someone else out:)
