Ugh! Stretch Marks! What You Can Do About Them

It’s kinda hard to be a woman and never get a stretch mark. Hey, it’s the price many of us pay for being curvy and/or for bringing life in the world. That’s because stretch marks are what’s left behind after our skin stretches so fast that it loses some of its strength and elasticity. Usually they show up in the form of off-color stripes or streaks.

Is there anything that you can do to totally remove them? Most skin experts would say that you can lessen their appearance, although there’s a chance that some evidence of them will remain behind no matter what. (Don't be so hard on yourself. You're still sexy regardless!)

Luckily, you don’t have to spend lots of money at the dermatologist in order to treat them. There are some at-home remedies that are proven to make your stretch marks a whole lot easier to look at, and live with.

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
