Stretch marks

I've been using palmers since I noticed some and it touch wood seems to be doing alright at keeping them at bay, but I was wondering if anyone knows some magic tricks to get rid of the small nasty purple ones I've already got.
Thanks.

There are some skin treatments for scars that may help them fade, but they'll do it naturally with time anyway - once they're silvery they're a lot harder to see. I don't think you can get rid of them completely - once they're there the skin won't go back together properly.

once theyre there, they dont go away. BUT the purple ones fade to a silvery-flesh colour, so as japhrimel said, you cant see them much.
I am covered in them after having my DS, but to be honest I dont actually care - I'd rather have them and my son than neither of them, if that makes sense. Altho, to be fair, I am 17 weeks at the moment, and dont want any more stretch marks, thank you!

Do you get Bio Oil in the UK? That, or Trilogy organic rosehip oil. Both work WONDERS. Seriously.
