Y’all! STRETCH MARKS ARE NOT PREVENTABLE.

PERIOD.

END OF STORY!!!!

Every single day there are multiple posts in this group “HELP! How do I prevent stretch marks?!” “HELP! What’s the best stretch mark cream?!”

Listen, just like you can’t control the (natural) color of your skin, eyes, hair, you cannot control whether or not you get stretch marks with any cream, potion, or voodoo magic. Anyone that tells you other wise is a liar or poorly informed. They are genetic, just like skin, eye, hair color, etc.

I’ll tell you that I’ve literally had stretch marks since I was in the 7th grade (13 year old growth spurt, people!!). Guess what..... I was able to graduate college, have a great job, I’m married, I have family and friends that love me, I can still participate in fun activities and have hobbies.... My stretch marks have never prevented me from living a fulfilling life (please detect the sarcasm in this bit... but know I’m totally serious at the same time).

My point, if you’re gonna get ‘em, you’re gonna get ‘em. But don’t stress if you do, because unless you’re trying to be a supermodel, your life will be completely unaffected. PROMISE!
