Stretch Marks, Underwear, and the Revitol Stretch Mark Cream: A Review

July 30th, 2008 admin No comments

I have a secret, and it’s one I’ve kept hidden for years. No, it’s not a third eye. It’s not an illegitimate child, an extramarital affair, or a dead body. I have stretch marks – ugly, intricately patterned stretch marks – and short of going under the knife, I’ve tried everything I could think of to get rid of them.

Two months ago, I saw an ad for the Revitol Stretch Mark Cream. Out of curiosity and because I had nothing to lose anyway, I got myself a bottle. It wasn’t a thoughtless purchase, mind you.

July 27th, 2008 admin No comments

Can stretch marks go away? You’ve lost count of the number of times you’ve asked your friends this question. The answers vary. Some say yes, swearing on their mother’s eyelashes that this product or that works. Others say no; it would be easier to get rid of wrinkles, flabs, or philandering husbands than stretch marks.

This tearing in the lower layer of the skin is what you see on your skin’s surface as stretch marks. Stretch marks may start out as reddish brown, dark brown, or pink.

Over time, the color changes, turning into a glistening silvery hue. So, can stretch marks go away? No. Once torn, tissues do not mend themselves. There is no way stretch marks can be removed completely. If it’s any consolation, however, these marks share one trait with your exes: they look better with the passing of time. Clearly, you should stop mulling over the question “Can stretch marks go away?” and start focusing on prevention. Read more…
