Many women do not believe that celebrities have stretch marks because they think that they can hire trainers to keep them in shape throughout their pregnancy, or afford laser surgeries to get rid of stretch marks. But that is not true. Celebrities are humans too and and their bodies function the same way as any ordinary woman. When celebrities put on weight or get pregnant, their skin stretches and they are not immune to the formation of stretch marks on their body.
However different celebrities have different opinions about stretch marks as well as ways to prevent them. Let’s have a look at some famous celebrity and their tips on how they manage them.

The singer-turned-designer is referring to a stretch mark lotion Elemis Japanese Camellia Oil Blend
for stretch mark prevention. This almond and camellia oil combination is rich in plant collagen and is said to be ideal on a mother’s growing belly to prevent stretch marks and soothe itchiness.
In her book That Extra Half an Inch
“During my pregnancies, the one product I really relied on was Elemis Japanese Camellia Oil, which is really great for preventing stretch marks and is one of the few aromatherapy oils you can put on yourself when pregnant. I would just cover myself in it, really massaging it into my tummy, my bottom, my thighs, and my boobs and honestly, that stuff really works.”
3. Britney Spears
One of Hollywood’s most famous; the mother of two did get into a lot of trouble with alcohol and binge eating. Her weight fluctuated and she was in a complete mess while divorcing her husband, K-Fed. But amidst all these, she never once spotted any stretch marks. It is rumored that she religiously uses a stretch mark removal cream that delivers necessary ingredients through the surface of the skin to fade the unsightly marks.
While the rich and famous of Hollywood can afford invasive surgeries or laser treatment to get rid of stretch marks, many of them actually believe in prevention. During the whole course of their pregnancy, they rely heavily on oils and creams to keep their skin supple and moisturized.
On a positive note, there are also some celebrities who choose to embrace their stretch marks. Here is what Jessica Alba has to say about her stretch marks since giving birth to Honor:
“Even though some might consider them a flaw, I’ve learned to love my stretch marks. Pregnancy was the most incredible experience I’ve ever had. So I’ll take the stretch marks. I’ll take the sagging boobs. I’ll take the cellulite I can never get rid of. If you walk around with your head held high and you’re happy and positive, then all that other stuff is irrelevant. Confidence is number one.”
Some other famous celebrities who are reported to have stretch marks are Kate Beckinsale, Kim Kardashian, Cindy Crawford, Halle Berry, Selma Hayek, Kristi Alley, Katie Holmes, LeAnn Rimmes, Mariah Carey, Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon and Amy Winehouse.
