    Stretch marks, scars, burns

    Mid way thru my bulking cycle i started getting a lot of stretch marks which was expected, i plan on using bio-oil to clear it up and hopefully that will be the end of it.

    But I also have a lot of marks on my forearms which i assume is from shaving them, I had super hair arms an my hair is very dark so it looked horrid so I started to shave, kinda gay but I look better and bigger.

    Problem is it seems like my skins getting irritated because now i have dark spots on my most forearm which might be razor burn and im not sure how to get rid of them, they sort of look like freckles but bigger lol. I put on lotion daily to avoid dryness but that doesnt seem to help. Tanning isnt an option because I am not white. Any other creams or things i can use?

    when you get your bio oil for the stretch marks put it on the marks on your forearms aswell, bio oil isnt just for strect marks if for un even skin tone, scars and also burns (but im not 100% on the last one) but hey its worth a try while you brought it for something else!

    I find that to be more of a PAIN and you are more apt to get ingrown hairs.

    I use a shaver and just set it to the lowest setting. You look shaved, very short but not 100% hairless.

    Phillips Body groomer for shaving. Look into getting a dermaroller. It works from what I have seen if you use it all the time.

    Well im runnin a high dose of test, 750 test e 400 deca. So i need to shave everyday unfortunately because I've got very dark hair lol, if i waxed once a month id have all my hair grown back by the time i get them re-waxed. I'll look into the dermaroller and I'll post back to how the bio-oil works I'll probably get it tomorrow some time.

    your hairy so just be hairy . you will be lucky to shift stretch marks with anything best thing is to use the oil before you get them to help prevent them. Tattoos workd for me...

    Shaving isn't a big deal if you're used to doing it. Use a sensitive skin shave gel and go against the grain. Shave right after a hot shower. I'm rather hairy myself and have been shaving my arms for about eight years now. Usually 2-3 times a week is enough and I can do both arms in less than ten minutes. I usually only do my back in the summer time when I know I'll be shirtless. The wife has to help with that, but she's cool with it. She could care less, it's a personal thing for me.

    You should be taking vitamin E and Omega 3 & 6 to keep your skin healthy too. Moisturizer is really needed, especially when you shower more than once a day, as most of us do, and sweat a lot, as most of us do.

    BTW, non-white people can tan. You still have the same melanin in your skin, its just a darker color to start with, so the color change isn't as pronounced.

    I actually shave in the shower with cooling shaving gel, ill see if theres any sensitive skin kind as well. i do both arms in under 10 minutes too, ill be sure to get some vitamin e and ill look into the omega 3/6. I put lotion on my arms about 3 times a day as well, once right after shaving, and it would seem kinda odd to walk into a tanning spa an get a tan when im dark skinned naturally lol, ill see if i get any darker by sitting in my back yard haha

    lol no veet works lol the only problem is if you use it too much it damages your skin and its a pain. My cousin used it and the skin on his abs started coming off and I'm not talking about little pieces I'm talking about strips of skin. Did you use Bio-oil before? Does it make stretch marks disappear?

    Dude if you got razor burn get some acne annihilator from platinum labz. It will stop the burn immediately and stop the irritation.

    I used acne annihilator for my acne sides. Two bottles later I ended up taking accutane to get it under control. I don't know about razor burns but it did little for my acne.

    For those of you who asked, Bio-oil is doing the trick, slowly but surely.

    Veet is actually awesome. Its a cream and I tried it for the first time the other day and its great but i wouldnt suggest using it on a daily basis because the chemicals in it are real strong. Basically you just paint a good amount on and wait like 6 minutes and clean it of when your in the shower with a sponge. If its too much hair then do 2 rounds. One by using the little thing they give you in the pack and the second time in the shower. I even used it on my balls and they sparkle. Just be careful though.

    So is bio-oil moving red stretch marks or white or both?
