Get used to them. Stretch marks are a part of life. See them as being a part of who you are.

If they bother you because you don't have perfect, unblemished skin like the pictures of others you see in magazines, the only thing I can tell you is that the photos you actually see are airbrushed, touched up, etc. to make those people look the way they do.

I believe apricot oil works. My sister has had two babies, so I just remember her saying something about how apricot oil worked when she rubbed it on her stretch marks. Try looking it up. There are stretch mark creams and such, but I also know there are a lot of home remedies if you look it up on the internet. I've found home remedies for other skin problems, and they work great. I think natural home remedies work best because they are usually more concentrated of the pure ingredient, rather than creams with a bunch of synthetic chemicals. But those could work too, who knows. Just look up "home remedies" for stretch marks... there should be something about apricot oil.

Also, if you're using cocoa butter or vitamin E (or any other remedy) make sure that you are using PURE ingredients... so try going to a natural store. That should make a HUGE difference... the synthetic vitamin E oils don't work, nor do other synthetic ingredients (I've read a lot about natural ingredients vs. synthetics).
