Thanks so much ladies. I am going to buy coco butter.
I have been using Mother's Special Blend oil. It has vitamin e, almond oil, coconut oil, and cocoa butter in it to help moisturize the skin. The oil is almost odorless and it contains no suspicious ingredients. It also keeps my expanding skin from itching. The bottle has lasted a long time and on Amazon it a very good price. Good luck.
Anything to keep your skin hydrated is going to help. I'm not sure preventing them is possible but a lot of my friends have used arnica or vitamin e oil
Don't buy into to all the gimmicks and spend loads of money!
Nothing will ever prevent stretchmarks, im 36 weeks and don't have a single one I just use the same routine as before which means when I can be bothered I just use coco butter:)
Try MUMMY'S TUMMY Stretch Mark Prevention Cream by Skin juice. Its organic and Australian made. This is what i am currently using and so far it seems great!
Sometimes you can't prevent it ;/ I used and still using cocoa butter, bio oil, and coconut oil and still got a few small stretch marks. Didn't get them till the end of the 8th month
I use the Palmers bust cream it works really good on breasts but works wonderd on my belly and thighs also
Try
Palmer cocoa butter massage cream
Showering with cold water
Massaging the area
:) that has work for me, I'm 32 weeks with no stretch marks yet.
Just keep you skin well hydrated... coco butter and coconut oil is working for me... but nothing really prevents it
