After giving birth to twins last year, my stomach hasn’t been able to go back to the way it used to be. I have searched high and low for products that will help remove stretch marks. I have been able to find some that work better than others but most of them are just plain hype. So when I found the perfect product, I immediately bought a few bottles. So far, the skin on my stomach has vastly improved.

Exactly what causes stretch marks anyway? Some people say that they’re caused by scratching your skin while pregnant. So how come men have stretch marks too? Simply put, stretch marks occur when your skin’s elasticity has reached its breaking point either during pregnancy or when people gain a lot of weight. When the skin shrinks back after giving birth or after losing weight, the “breaks” in the skin become more pronounced.
