Stretch marks can tell a complicated story. For us, they were connected to significant changes in the body over time, including periods of illness and recovery. They were not something that appeared overnight, and they were not something that could be addressed quickly.
The images shared here were taken nearly two years apart. They reflect a personal experience during a time when the skin was adjusting to major changes. Photos have been cropped for privacy, but they are otherwise unaltered.
Throughout that period, the focus was not on perfection or rapid change, but on consistency and care. Building a simple routine and staying with it became more important than searching for immediate results. Skin responds differently for everyone, and progress is rarely linear.
Stretch marks do not disappear, and they do not tell the full story of the body. Over time, patience and steady routines helped the skin feel more supported and comfortable. Sharing these images is not about showcasing an outcome, but about acknowledging the process.
Everyone’s skin is different, and individual experiences vary. What mattered most for us was learning to care for skin through change with intention and consistency.
Images reflect a personal experience and are shared for informational purposes only. Individual results vary.
