Stretch marks, be gone!

One highly unfortunate side effect of weight gain is stretch marks. If I ever have kids, I’m pretty much doomed to more stretch marks. Mine are the ugly purple kind. So it was delightful when Mac pointed them out because he thought they were bruises. But have no fear! I happened across a balm to help remove those unpleasant marks.

I’ve heard lots of rave reviews about the healing powers of cocoa butter. Since the stretch marks I had were across my abdomen, I was on the look out for something easy to use that wasn’t too thick. Enter Palmer’s Skin Therapy Oil. It’s a cocoa butter based formula that is similar in consistency to Argan hair oil. The smell is pretty standard for cocoa butter products, and it’s not too greasy. The oil applies easily and wipes off my hands quickly. I use it once or twice (if I remember) a day. The lethal combo of  therapy oil and weight loss is giving me great results. The stretch marks have are softer, smoother, and much lighter in color. They are still noticeable, but I’m hoping that more weight loss and continued use of the oil will help them disappear completely.

What have you tried to heal stretch marks? Have y’all used cocoa butter?
