stretch marks... who cares??

Question

I honestly don’t mind my stretch marks and I have them aplenty! What bothers me is when people ask me if I’m using cocoa butter or tell me I need to start using Bio-Oil. I butter my stretch marks and I use baby oil with vitamin E, but I’m not spending the money on Bio-Oil when they don’t even bother me. My mom’s stretch marks were horrendous and knowing they’re partially genetic I’m not even trying to fight them!
These were taken about a month apart; I’ve been doing progression pics, lol!

The horizontal like is an appendectomy scar.

Answer

I only use creams or oils if my skin is dry and itchy. I know it won't make a difference on how the marks look, nor do I care. ❤

Answer

I too don’t care about my stretch marks. They are my tiger strips. My badge of honor for what my body has done! They don’t change who I am they just prove how strong I am.

Answer

Yeah whether you get stretch marks or not is in your genes. The only lotion I used was in my third trimester, Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula for men. And that was only every once in a while when my belly was super itchy, cause it was the only lotion that would relieve the itchiness. I didn't get one single stretch mark. My mom only had two. It's not a matter of what lotions you use, or how much water you drink, or any of the other things you hear. Your genes are the only thing that determines if you'll get stretch marks or not.
