#CliaStretchMark Smoothing Cream #Review

     I've carried five children to full term.  I've spent a good 47 months of my life being pregnant.  I've also spent about twice that amount of time being overweight to such a degree that I'm technically obese.  I was a chubby kid, slimmed out just in time to start motherhood and after the birth of my last child, I fell back into my big normal.  And because of all this, I am no stranger to stretch marks.  I wish I were, but alas... it was pretty unavoidable.

     I can look back now at a time when I was too embarrassed to wear a bikini because of stretch marks.  It was the thinnest time in my life... I look back now and I want to slap myself.  I was so thin, I wish I'd let myself be confident.  Instead, I wore the kind of bathing suit that has a tank top top and short bottoms and still covered with a towel.

     I don't think I will ever get to that level of confidence where I can step onto the beach in a bikini, and I'm okay with that.  But I would like to have a little more confidence.  One thing that would boost my confidence a little bit is if I could get these stretch marks to be just a little less obvious.

      That's where this Stretch Mark Smoothing Cream by CLIA Beauty comes in handy.  It comes in a 4 oz. tub with a screw on cover.  The texture is about the same as Noxzema, you know... the weird firm and soft at the same time weird kind of cream.  I like that.

     After the texture, the first thing I noticed was that it smells EXACTLY like chocolate.  It smelled like I was smearing myself with melted chocolate chips, like maybe I should be making cupcakes with this cream instead of rubbing it into my skin.  I liked that too.  Mmmmmm!

     That's probably due to the Cocoa Butter, first ingredient after Deionized Water.  Other awesome ingredients to note are Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Glycerin, and Vitamin E.  With all those amazing ingredients, it's hard to go wrong.

     I haven't been using it long enough to say whether it will smooth out all the stretch marks or not, but it has a 100% satisfaction guarantee for all the CLIA products and as a lotion is sure works well.  I have a feeling it will work great and I hope to check back in a few weeks with some great news in the way of improvements.
