number one: dont get pregnant, lol, only kidding, vitamin e cream, vitamin c oil, massage, exfoliation, drinking water, not putting on excess weight, gentle exercise and soaking in warm baths are all the prevention tips i received through my pregnancy to prevent or reduce the appearance of stretchmarks. guess what? my stomach still looks like a melways- road map- lol, but i dont care, my son was worth it...

Me too. Castor oil also, if you dont mind the smell, it helps itching also.

I used cocoa butter everyday! :) But I still got them. I don't mind mine though because they were from my son. :)
