A viewer asks, what is good for stretch marks besides cocoa butter? Stretch marks can often seem like the bane of a woman's existence. We think of them sometimes in pregnancy but really any increase in weight can cause them. So even teenage girls you'll sometimes see with some stretch marks as their bodies are changing. They actually form, stretch marks do from the bottom up, or from the inside out. So anything that we're rubbing on the surface may help the appearance some, but probably doesn't prevent them entirely. There's a strong genetic component to whether people have stretch marks or not. So if you look at your mom or close family relatives and you see stretch marks, you may know that you might be predisposed to getting them as well. But let's say you're trying to prevent or even treat ones that you have. First of all, things like cocoa butter can be helpful. Anything that makes the skin smooth and when it would stretch a bit not be dry and cracky is a good idea. There are some over-the-counter ointments or medicines like Miderma which help with the appearance of reddened or scarred areas and some people have used those effectively as well. The important thing if you're going to use something like Miderma is to use it while the stretch marks are still in their red phase. Once they've started to fade to kind of a white or silvery color, treatments aren't going to be as effective. Some people have gone as far as to use lasers and things like that to stretch marks, but for most of us the creams and prevention and good hydration to keep the skin tone good are probably a more reasonable option. So cocoa butter is a good option. Good hydration is another good step. Miderma is another one that you can possibly use and then other things after delivery that a dermatologist might recommend.
