How to prevent stretch marks due to dry skin (especially at the waistline)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Emollient: Stretch marks are caused by stretch. Not by dry skin. If you have dry skin there are many creams for dry skin. Various things are promoted for stretch marks, none of them very effective.
