Bio oil or Palmers tokeep stretch marks away??

Question

Hi girls, what do u all think? Which is the best to keep my skin hydrated and moisturised to help keep stretch marks to a minimum? Xxx

Answer

Burt’s bees belly butter 👌I put it on my belly, thighs, hips and bum 😊

Answer

Definitely the Bio Oil. I used it every night with my fist pregnancy and have no stretch marks. Using it now again with my second. Was very worried because my mom got really bad stretch marks but I’m certain the BioOil gave me the best chance to avoid them.

Answer

They’re genetic unfortunately. However, it’s always a great idea to keep your skin hydrated and it helps keep away pregnancy itch. I use palmers. The cocoa smell is strong tho 😷 anything with vitamin E will work pretty well.

Answer

I have a whole psycho routine for stretch marks. Internally: I drink a lot of water, I take vitamin C every day, I take DHA fish oil, and I use collagen powder in my tea. Externally: I use Bio-Oil and Palmer's intensive therapy tummy butter twice a day. One of those times is after a shower/bath. I use a moisturizing body wash and bubble bath.  I also use regular cocoa butter whenever I get itchy. Yes, there is a genetic component, but that isn't a death sentence for your skin. If nothing else, taking preventative measures will prevent them from getting so bad that they crack and bleed. My mother and sister both got really bad stretch marks and so far, at 16+3, I don't have any yet.

Answer

I use baby oil with coco butter in it. I was really big with my daughter and have no stretch marks.

Answer

Yes, it's genetic. Olive oil is great for your skin and convenient. Any body butter with cocoa, Shea or mango butter would be extra moisturizing and long lasting as well.

Answer

its NOT.genetic I have.none.and this is my 4th.pregnancy. bio oil worked for me but palmers smells delicious i ise that too. any oil will be better than none

Answer

My mom didn't have any for 3 pregnancies but I got them at 32 weeks with mh son. But I had been using lots of creams so they came out clear to begin with. No red/purple marks. My thighs after birth exploded in bright red ones as I hadn't thought to put cream there. So put it everywhere!!

Answer
