Natural body lotion or oils?

Question

Hello
I've just found out I'm pregnant and want to start using a natural body lotion or recommended Oil for the body. 
I currently use a natural deodorant, and also a paraben free shower gel. 
I want to try and ward of stretch marks, so any advice appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Answer

For both pregnancies, I've made my own belly butter and LOVED it!! No stretch marks, and I feel like I'm prone to them because I got a ton on my boobs and butt during puberty. I melt together one part organic African shea butter with one part organic cold pressed coconut oil. Once it's melted, I take it off the burner and add a few drops of vitamin e oil and (totally optional) a few drops of my fav essential oil. I then put it in mini mason Jars until it's solidified an rub a little on morning and night :)

Answer

Coconut oil works really well

Answer

I got an amazing oil blend from natural grocers called mothers oil. It's almond, coconut, and coacoa oil and smells like chocolate 😁

Answer

personally found coconut oil to be very drying for my skin so I prefer sweet almond oil or jojoba oil depending on what you can find! but drinking lots of water and regular physical activity and also genetics will be the bigger factors in whether or not you get stretch marks.

Answer

I use a combination of pure almond oil and a fancy pants lotion called Suvelan. They've worked great!

Answer

Organic, cold pressed coconut oil, earth mama angel baby stretch oil, shea butter.

Answer

Also, from what I've read, genetics are the determining factor of stretch marks but moisturizing your belly can't hurt. I'm almost 37 weeks and have none (knock on wood) but I'm not sure if I can attribute that to the coconut oil...

Answer

I use fermented coconut oil but recently switched to Motherlove Pregnant Belly Salve and totally wish I had been using it the whole time! I ordered it on Amazon, it's awesome.
