stretch marks
Anybody have any tips on how to reduce the appearance of stretch marks?
Any lotions/creams that are water based will due. My love is coconut oil. I put it in my bath and soak for 15 mins. That along with olive oil are great bases to lock in moisture which is what your skin needs to stretch without tearing/ ripping. Stretch marks are said to be genetic but I believe you can avoid them by drinking lots of water, lubricating your body daily, with healthy weight gain AND DONT SCRATCH. Good luck.
All great answers above! I was just going to say the coconut oil. I've also bought the vitamin E vitamins that have the liquid in them and popped them and then spread the vitamin E on the area. good luck
I use bio oil at night, I love it. Cetephil helps if you're itchy at all.
Stay hydrated. Drinking lots of water is the best thing for it
Coconut oil...I love it...
Mountain Ocean Mother's Special Blend Oil has pretty high reviews. Going to try it once I'm further along (8-10 weeks)
