As many as nine in 10 adults can experience stretch marks, so if you have silvery lines on limbs or torso, you're not alone. A body oil can make a difference. Here are two to consider.

Well known for helping to ease the appearance of stretch marks, this OG formula has undergone plenty of research to test its abilities. Case in point: a German study showed that among women with stretch marks from pregnancy, weight gain or an adolescent growth spurt, 95 per cent noticed a reduction in the look of the lines in just two weeks. After the recommended eight weeks, all noticed improvement.

Rich in essential fatty acids and a long list of vitamins (A, D, E and K), this lightweight, non-greasy, plant-based body (and face) oil deeply hydrates while also supporting the skin barrier and elasticity. And, yes, it can help to fade the appearance of stretch marks and scars.
