stretch marks

Definitions

n. Plural form of stretch mark, skin blemishes resulting from a pregnancy that women tend to be overly self-conscious about.

“If Im going out for a special occasion, I apply the self-tanner as usual, and then rub sesame or almond oil Clarins body oil is also yummy, and has a bonus use: applied with cocoa butter, this oil prevented me from getting stretch marks while I was pregnant all over my body for a golden-goddess vibe.”

chained_bear Hm. I wish men would consider smearing lots of olive oil on themselves when they gain weight, so they can enjoy as well.

gangerh Olive oil. Women, should you want to avoid stretch marks from pregnancy then I can recommend liberal use of extra virgin olive oil. My bride applied this morning and evening, and bathed in a bath with olive oil added, throughout pregnancy and, voila, not a stretch mark anywhere! Pass it on! Apr 11, 2008
