new mommy and getting big

[lilbit0830]

Is it better to use cocco butter or nothing at all bc I been using it n starting to get stretch marks I've been told its bc I use it but before I got pregnant I was real tinny

Stretch marks are due to a the skin being stretched the elasticity of the skin will determine the outcome. Moisturizing is the best things you can do to minimize stretch marks. Stretch marks can fade but will not go away with out laser treatment.

I use coconut oil and shea butter. But I have tons of mommy tiger stripes! I moisturize to keep the itchies away. The stripes fade well after each pregnancy!

Stretch marks are a genetic thing. If you're going to get them you will. No amount of coco butter or oil will change that. Just embrace your stripes.

Bio-oil is great

I was pretty small when I got pregnant. I only have 2 stretch marks on my hips and a few on my boobs. I use bio oil

Stretch marks are a genetic thing. You can't stop them if you get them. But keeping your skin moisturized will help to lighten them. I use coconut oil. Mine sometimes get red marks on them that are worse then the rest and I put antibiotic ointment on those spots at night and they clear up. After baby is born they will lighten up more as well.

Stretch marks can't really be prevented, but you can do something to keep them from being so visible.
I started by using coco butter, but I ended up having a skin allergy to it so I started using vitamin e oil and aloe and drinking tons of water and they started to fade.
Also keeping a healthy diet will help.
