when I gave birth to my kids, I used butter cocoa lotion and aloe vera gel for the stretch marks.
I also used them before delivery to reduce the marks.

Let’s admit it, the sight of horrible and greyish stretch marks on your arms, thighs, hips or stomach area is outright disconcerting. You have your favorite outfit, cosmetics and accessories in place to complement you on a special occasion, but everything seems to go in vain because of those undesirable stretch marks!

Especially for women, this is the cause of great chagrin and probably even sleepless nights! Appearance of stretch marks is becoming increasingly noticeable day by day among people and without exaggeration, it has got to do a lot with their current lifestyles.
Why stretch marks occur?

The outer layer of the skin which is known as the epidermis, is firmly supported by the middle layer called the dermis. There is a dense and strong presence of fibres in the dermis that are intricately bonded together.

When there is a sudden expansion or contraction of the skin, due to any particular reason, the pressure falls on those fibres, making them turn thinner and eventually break down. Stretch marks appear on the dermis, thus weakening its grip on the epidermis.
This leads to sagging of skin and hence, leads to the formation of stretch marks.

At first stretch marks appear reddish in color due to the visibility of blood vessels and torn fibres of the dermis. Later, they fade into grey or silvery white color, mainly when the blood vessels contract and only the layer of fat present under your skin is visible.
