There is no guarantee that you won’t develop stretch marks; however there are some things you can do to reduce your risk — such as eating a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, drinking plenty of water and maintaining a healthy weight throughout any period of rapid growth or weight gain. Additionally, applying cocoa butter lotion or oils such as almond or jojoba oil directly onto your skin may help keep it moisturized and supple which should reduce your chances of developing stretch marks.
