I use coconut oil and it has helped with the stretch marks and helped keep my skin soft. Make sure you're not scratching even though you might be really itchy!!
There genetic, use a mostiurizer to keep your skin moist so it stretches easier rsthern than tearing and getting itchy. Otherwise it really doesn't matter what you use as you can't beat genetics. A lot of creams you use for after and stuff have collagen or fillers in them, this can help reduce the appearance of strechmarks as it fills in the gaps,but really only works while being used on the skin.
So far it's been working for me and I've had some stretch marks on my breast since before I was pregnant and now that I'm using it they're fading.
Does palmers tummy butter really work? I tried cocoa butter with my first son and it didnt work at all! After having him i used extra virgin olive oil and it faded my stretch marks
&& no SCRATCHING !!!!! Very important
In the shower I use dove soap that has coco butter in it. Then if I'm going out I put Palmers coco butter. And at night I out baby oil that also has coco butter. It's what my friend recommended me they have kids and no stretch marks so finger crossed it works for me as well. Also I heard drinking alot of water helps. I'm 19weeks and so far no stretch marks
I've been using coco butter vitamin e oil and coconut and I still have them I've had them for months (I'm 36 weeks) I'd hate to see how bad they'd be had I done nothing tho! I was also extremely tiny before hand and gained about 40 pounds so maybe that's why
Palmers Tummy butter. U can get the on the go size for like $1.50 at babies r us. It goes along way. And I used bio oil. Managed to go 38 weeks without any.
Im 39weeks and I've been using palmers coconut tummy butter in the mornings and then massage bio oil onto myself before bed and I haven't got a single stretchmark
Where can I get coconut oil? Like ahoopers?
I use coconut oil everyday :) I love it it helps with the itching and it smells lovely i'm 35 weeks and have zero strech marks so far! And my mom got them really bad with me (her first) so so far so good :)
