Honestly, you can't erase them completely, but they fade to silver over time. Start applying coconut oil or bio-oil twice a day right after delivery. Keep your skin hydrated, that is the only real solution that works.
I felt so conscious of my marks initially, they looked so red and bright. But then I realized they are beautiful reminders of my baby's journey inside me. I just use a gentle moisturizer now and let my body heal naturally.
Wear them like a tiger wears her stripes! 🐯 But if you want to fade them, slather on some good old virgin coconut oil. Just don't waste thousands on those magic creams, they mostly just moisturize!
Oh yaar, don't stress too much about those marks! Almost all of us get them, it's totally normal. Just use any thick moisturizer or shea butter to keep the itching away, and give your body some time to recover.
My mother advised me to apply warm almond oil or pure ghee on my belly after my bath. It keeps the skin very soft and helps the marks fade slowly. Trust your body's natural healing process, it takes time.
