If you used Palmers stretch mark lotion, did you have stretch marks?

Question

Answer

Stretch marks are more of a genetic thing. If you're going to get them, there's not much you can do but take care of your skin, drink lots of water and moisturize. I also use a brush with nubby bristles to gently massage the skin around them to keep circulation going in my "puffy zones" as I call them. There is no real way to prevent them but they will fade and shrink over time. I've been using palmer's and so far I only have stretch marks on my hips and thighs and they're not too bad. None on my belly or bottom yet like the other women in my family.

Answer

Yeah I wouldn't spend a whole bunch of money because stretch marks are inevitable for some people. Your best bet it to just get something that feels really good for you, moisturizes and soothes any itching :) I've heard that Palmer's is pretty good with all the stuff I just named :) 
Also, I figured since I am prone to marks, I'd use this lotion that gives you a really nice glow since I wear sun screen and my skin looks so washed out now. Two birds, one lotion.

Answer

Stretch marks are completely genetic. There is nothing you can do to prevent them, only make them fade faster after they occur. I have a few friends who used $100 celebrity level creams and they didn't work. Some friends who used straight raw coco butter and it didn't work. Some friends who used baby oil three times a day and it didn't work. I also have my best friend who never used a single cream or lotion her whole pregnancy with twins and has a perfect belly (she also scratched when it itched 24/7) but she is one of those people who can't stand the feel of lotion to the point where she would deal with the discomfort.
