Apparently the skin tears below the top layer so creams can't really do alot, although it is still good to keep the top layer moisturised. Straght after a shower is best because the pores are open so the cream penetrates further down.

A friend of mine is a bodybuilder and they take lots of Vit c and vit E when they are in training because they put on and lose weight rapidly and this apparently helps stop stretchmarks. Who knows?

I didn't think I had any but have noticed a few on my hip/bum in the last few weeks. Not sure if they are new or have just been well disguised amongst my cellulite!!
