Lifestyle tips

There isn't a sure fire way to prevent it. You can use all the lotion you want. You can avoid rapid gains. But there's no promise you can completely avoid them. Maybe minimize, but that's about it.

I make a lot of effort to take really really good care of my skin because, at my size, skin breakdown can be a thing. I have a lot of stretch marks because my gaining spurts have been extreme. However, I do think I have fewer than I would if I wasn't doing something about it. When I was a young teen, I put on a hundred pounds the summer before high school. I didn't do anything different with my skin care (basically did nothing), and my whole body was covered in angry red stripes. As an adult, I've had many similar gains without that side effect, in part, I think, because of skin care.

Honestly, stretch marks are a good thing.

Just moisturiser, oil, skin vitamin e.

They do lighten with time.

But slow gains starting out.

One thing to think that your weight is your volume, and skin is surface area, when your starting out your skin has to stretch for a certain gain, the bigger you are the less the skin has the expand for the same gain next time, so the issue mathematically speaking may reduce as you gain.

That yours (and mine) preferences but it's not your body

I love my marks but others not the case
