I got fat after pregnancy & there are stretch marks on my thighs, legs, hips and back along with my belly. Can anybody suggest a solution to get rid of them?

I believe there is. I've been using exfoliation for the past few months and my stretch marks have faded quite a bit! Which is amazing because I've actually lost literally half of my current self in just a year. (So, of course, I'd have alot) While in the shower, if you take a rough cloth or a loofah and scrub your skin where your marks they will fade within months. What happenes is you are rubbing off your old stretched skin and allowing new skin to grow and replace it. Be patient though.

Vitamin E cream is proven to help, although not completely get rid off them. Another method that has worked very well for people I know is to cover your body with a high spv sunblock except for the stretch marks. Use a small paint brush to fill sunblock in between the stretch lines. Leave the lines uncovered and tan outside or in a bed. You also may choose to apply self tanner to the lines themselves, leaving the unaffected areas clean. After several times doing this, the area will blend together. Even after stopping this regimen, the area remains clear looking. (without cosmetic surgery, you can never look completely 100%)
