SALAM Ok i am a bit embaressed to ask this as i know people here have bigger problems please forgive me. I lost a lot of weight in the past 4 years i was a fat teenager and when i hit 19 i managed to loose 3 stones anyways i have a lot of stretchmarks on my body and is putting me down i even try to cover it with foundation but it does not work the time of me marrying is coming nearer and nearer and i am afraid of what my future hubby might think, i do use bio oil but it didnt make much of a difference , am i over reacting? i know no1 is perfect but i am sure other sisters will understand where i am coming from. is getting me really down i want to be able to get married and feel comfortable in my own body not cover up in my own house.
Haha!!! Couldn't help but laugh sis! Sorry. Firstly well done on losing your weight...............
Bio oil is good stuff continue to use it!!! InshaAllah it will make a difference. Also you can buy a cream called fade away about the same price as bio oil............... I would stick to the bio oil though give it about 6 months..............:thankyou:
But hey listen sis. I've read so many letters in Agony Aunt Columns abt this. And the reply always is that men just do not notice these things. The best fade-out remedy you can try is increasing your self-confidence. Anywayz, what is wrong with having skin imperfections? It's all part of being human. If you accept yourself as you are, so will your future-hubby inshaAllah.
If you'd posted in the sisters section, I would've added more to my post. PM me if u want.

how did you managed to loose so much weight? what methods did you adopt?
mashallah well done sis!
Whoops just continue with the bio oil. You have to give it time. I used it for a year or so and got rid of a nasty scar after a very big op!!!!!!
The fade away stuff is good also available in boots, other than that go to your GPthey can give you some help especially if you are feeling low about these marks which are all in your mind by the way.................

^what is wrong with stretchmarks? A lot of women will get them anyway when they have babies. God forbid, at this rate I can see hospitals soon offering plastic surgery straight after child-birth! lol
Be human ppl and learn to accept that the only time we will be flawless is when we are in Jannah.

lol ive read that many many times too
but apparently cocoa butter is good for stretch marks and congratulations on the weight loss sister and remember no one is flawless so a few marks is nothing to be ashamed or paranoid about
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
I used to have pretty bad stretch marks and red scars around my belly region ever since I gave birth to my three kids.I had tried Vitamin E oil and cocoa butter which a number of people had recommended but unfortunately it didn't seem to work too well. My Doctor had even suggested that I go for a Tummy Tuck. I then recently read an article about a lady who supposedly got rid of her stretch marks using a particular cream. I tried it and it worked really well. It took a number of weeks but my stretch marks soon faded away. You can read the lady's article at the link below.
Asalaamalaykum, my sister had a baby and she got strech marks and then she used this cream called "Palmers Cocoa Butter Massage Lotion. Maybe you can try it too. gd luck.
