Happy, Happy, Happy! How long do you have to use the oil before you notice improvement on the stretch marks!? Thanks so much!Replied By Happyhappyhappy (Port Of Spain, Trinidad) on 12/17/2011
I'm so sorry for not replying sooner, I was in the middle of the toughest semester ever. Anyway, I noticed improvements in the first three days. Then I had such high expectations for the treatment that I stopped noticing that it was actually working because I thought that all of the marks should be gone in two weeks. However, by the end of the first month, I realised that some had been completely removed and my faith was renewed. I continued to apply it only at night (it can be a little uncomfortable to sleep in though), and in about three months, maybe before, they were all gone. Hope I'm not too late with my response.Replied By Melony (Calgary, Alberta) on 12/21/2011
Hi, Happy, Happy, Happy, I was just wondering what color your marks were and if they were older or newer, thank you in advance.Replied By Happyhappyhappy (Port Of Spain, Trinidad) on 01/09/2012
My stretch marks were older. I had had some of them since I was about 14 years old and I'm 23 now. Most of them had turned white. They were not pretty and it was rather severe. I had problem skin generally, acne and everything, so I thought that I'd have to live with them forever. Then when I got a few behind the knees, I thought they were gonna take over my life. I went all over looking for a remedy, only to have my mom, a nurse, tell me that coconut oil is recommended for pregnant women and that it really works. I'm not saying that you are unjustified in asking. All I'm trying to say is that you need to try it and see for yourself. When you do, just be consistent.
One question though, for the persons who actually try using coconut oil, are you sure that you are getting what you pay for? If you make it yourself and you are lucky, you should get about two ounces of oil from a large coconut. If you attempt to buy it, it may be wise to ask whether you are getting coconut oil, or coconut-scented oil. If you can get it pure, then spare no expense.
Sorry about the essay.

Happy Day! How much olive oil and how much mustard were mixed together to make this combination, and how often do you apply it on your skin? Thank you so much and God bless.
