preventing stretch marks.

Anyone know of a good cream, oil or loton to help with stretch marks? I used Palmer's butter with my first. Now I'm using Palmer's oil I feel like my skin dries out really fast with the oil. I'm open to trying something different.  **Please don't comment if you're just going to say creams and lotions don't work. I know there is no proof and doctors will tell you if it is going to happen it's going to happen. I believe it does work.

I bought the body boost by basq. I got milk and honey scent and it smells so good! I think I'll continue with the Palmer's oil along with the body butter. I've been taking Epsom salt baths too, so it's nice to know that may help with stretching. I can already feel that the body boost is helping not to itch! Thanks for all the great advice.

The one reason to prevent getting stretch marks not to scratch your tummy as its stretching. Because the stretching causes your skin to itch but I used Palmers as well and it helps me but you just have to avoid itching your tummy.

I use a organic unrefined coconut oil as well! It works sooo good! As well as Cocoa Butter. I also see that Mederma has a nice cream.

I take an Epson salt bath with eucalyptus every night, to help with the aches and streaching, and I went to bed bath and beyond and bought a lotion heater from Conair I think it's who it is its like 20 bucks or something and I have an oatmeal lotion in it that I put on right when I get out of the bath and my skin 24 hours a day is smooth and soft and supple and I'm not getting stretch marks that I think the epson salt helps with that too cuz it leaves it really nice and moisturize and it's been a godsend just make sure that you rinse off really good when you get out of your bath so you don't get any infections or anything and you should be good to go.

I've been using a combination  of burts bees mama butter belly butter, bio oil, and organic unrefined coconut oil. I keep the 3 on rotation as they each smell different and some days I prefer one over the other. And I have no stretch marks yet!
