Stretch Marks!
Can anyone recommended a good stretch mark cream? I want to finally feel confident in showing my arms since they finally have gotten smaller since I was sleeved but the stretch marks still hold me back a little from wearing sleeveless tops. So if anyone has any suggestions that would be great! Thank you!!!
I'm pretty sure that nothing will make stretch marks go away. Try to think of them as trophies from the war you have waged, and won!

Nope, not a whole lot you can do, especially if your skin has been stretched out for a long time. Some say that cocoa butter helps, and you can get a large bottle at the drugstore relatively inexpensively (plus you get to run around smelling like cookies!), but it doesn't eliminate stretch marks you currently have.
