Me and monique have the same skin tone
but my skin isnt half as healthy looking as her
I have these strech makes all over my thighs
and a un even skin tone the list goes on
i cant even wear swim suits or skirts without leggings
how would I go about getting my skin like hers?

any uh sugestions
or products i could use
for stretch marks: you cant get rid of them...sorry...but you can minimize their appearance by working out, drinking lots of water, etc...you can also try a self tanner all over your legs, which will even out the discolorations...since tanning hides stretch marks, this might be a good way to go. also try a good bodywash, since it will at least make your skin healthier looking.
for your face: i dont think you need microdermabrasion, since you are so young. just use a gentle cleanser on your face, and a good moisturizer, and you should be fine.
and i hope you know everyone who is telling you to cut yourself so new skin will form is not being serious. when you damage the skin in such a way that it undergoes trauma, it never heals back to its original state. it will always scar, and the deeper the cut, the worse the scar. eventually, and especially if you are darker skinned, you will be left with a hyperpigmented scar over the area of your cut.
and remember, whenever you pick a scab, a zit, etc, you push back the healing process of your skin 14 days...and the more you manipulate the healing tissue, the worse your scar will be.
