My home combination: mix natural sea salt, vegetable oil (canola, soy bean, safflower, etc) so salt is like wet sand.  After you shower, turn off the water and use the salt scrub then rinse it off leaving skin well oiled.  Gentely pat dry.  Lotion with pro foot heal repair cream and pure aloe vera gel rubbed together between your palms.  My skin looks and feels best when I do this daily.

Stretch marks do not disappear.  Cannot be erased.  Are already there so you can't prevent them now.  You can only try to improve the appearance of the stretched skin.  Of course the more loose skin you have the worse it looks, stretch marks or not. 

My pregnancy stretch marks are more noticible on the loose skin than they were before.  I don't have many stretch marks but plenty of stretched skin as you can see from my before and after pics.  Fingers crossed, you have good genes and your skin will fare ok.

Everything I use is completely odorless and fragrance free.  I have pure essential oils like lavender and rosemary if I want to add a drop for fragrance.

I went ahead and ordered it off amazon, because they had 1.00 shipping. If you buy it, let me know. I'm hoping to help ease the marks on my upper arm. Stay in touch and I'll let you know if it works for me.
