I think I have mentioned it before that I now have stretch marks on some parts of my body. Building muscle mass from going the gym is really a good thing for me but my skin's elasticity isn't taking it well.  I actually noticed it late and the cocoa butter that I used did not work for the old stretch marks. I bought by the way the Palmers brand, which targets the pregnant women.

Anyway, when I was in Hong Kong I bought two tubs of cocoa butter from Body Shop since it is quite cheap compared to Singapore. One biggest surprise was when I discovered a new stretch marks on my chest.  I applied The Body Shop's cocoa butter and just a day after it was gone. Amazing!

I think cocoa butter only works on fresh stretch marks. If the stretch marks are too old, the cocoa butter can't do anything to remove the scarring. So if you are gaining weight or going to the gym, make sure to apply cocoa butter every morning and evening. It can be a great help with your skin elasticity. Unless you are in your teens then your elasticity is still fine.

And oh, have I mentioned that it smells really yummy?
