Hey
I have stretch marks on my legs too - I think most people get them. They do fade with time, and I don't really worry about them.

I know some people will use moisturising creams, or rub castor oil on their skin, to prevent stretch marks if they are pregnant or gaining/losing weight. Cocoa Butter Cream is often recommended to soften scars http://www.embarrassingproblems.co.uk/stretch.htm

If there is a cure, I'ld like to know too!

I know there are Scar Removal products that claim to remove stretch marks. Once apon a time I was going to try them, but then I began to like my stretch marks (odd, huh), so I never went through with it.

Though there are various cremes and medicated lotions to be used for the same...I have got no result from any.

Creams will lighten and fade stretch marks and scars. The reason they remain is that people are too anxious and give up after a short time. Consistency is the key, keep applying cream not matter how long, weeks, months. You will see results, just not soo fast in every cases as each is different. Only with chemical peels with acne is every case the same.

I had good results with Excel Skin Care's all purpose cream which can be used for scars as well. They have a store on Amazon which has the best prices. I still use their products, the anti aging serums.

The Japanese government wants the country's suit-loving salarymen to be bold this summer. Ditch the stuffy jacket and tie. And for the good of a country facing a power crunch, go light and casual.
Japan's "Super Cool Biz" campaign kicked off Wednesday with a government-sponsored fashion show featuring outfits appropriate for the office yet cool enough to endure the sweltering heat.
This summer may be especially brutal. The loss of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, which was crippled by the March 11 tsunami, means electricity could be in short supply around the nation's capital, Tokyo, during especially hot days.
To prevent blackouts, the government is asking companies and government offices to cut electricity usage by 15 percent. It wants companies to limit air conditioning and set room temperatures at a warm 28 degrees Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit).
The idea isn't new. "Cool Biz" was introduced in 2005 by the environment minister at the time, Yuriko Koike. The campaign was part of efforts to fight global warming.
