How do I prevent and remove stretchmarks? I bought some stretchmark creams to apply but it doesn't seem very effective.

1. Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Include vitamin C, vitamin E and proteins in your regular diet. These improve elasticity, increase collagen production, and help in tissue repair and growth. 2. Drink lots of water to keep yourself hydrated. You can also consume anti oxidant-rich black, white or green tea. 3. Keep moisturizing - don't need expensive creams - any oil will do.
