I feel sorry for celebrities sometimes. As perfect and glamorous as they might seem, they have to deal with criticism all the time–especially when it comes to their looks.
Take Shakira for instance: The girl is gorgeous, talented and on fire. Yet, instead of talking about her awesome performance at Wango Tango recently, all anyone wanted to do was criticize the stretch marks on her tummy that happened to show when she lifted her shirt a bit.
Are you seriously kidding me?! The woman had a baby just last year!

I'm telling you, celebrities have to have really thick skin to deal with all the nasty comments people make about them on a regular basis. Seriously, how mean is that? Last time I checked stretch marks were very natural and something that most women get during pregnancy. How hard is it to understand that this woman had a baby last year? It's no wonder these celebs are constantly going under the knife!
I wouldn't be surprised if poor Shaki gets some sort of high-tech treatment after this to quickly vanish those stretch marks. Pobrecita. But for most of us non-celebs that's not exactly an option. Here's a natural treatment that Latinas have been using for years to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Check it out!
My friend used this homemade treatment all throughout her pregnancy and it kept the stretch marks from developing. It also helped reduce the appearance of the ones she already had post-pregnancy, because we all know you don't have to get pregnant to get stretch marks.
Here's what you need: A large container, 8 ounces of cocoa butter, 10 collagen soft liquid gel supplements and 2-3 ounces of vitamin E oil.
Here's all you have to do: Ana tells me that she used a large clear container to combine all the ingredients and to store the mixture. She poured 8 oz. of liquefied cocoa butter into the container. You can used natural chunks as well but you have to know how to melt it and it's not all that easy.
Then she added the 2-3 oz. of vitamin E oil along with the liquid from the 10 collagen soft liquid gel supplements and blended it all together. That's it!
For best results make sure you apply it to your entire body every morning and evening. And if you're pregnant consult with your doctor first!
