Stretch Mark Prevention?

Question

I know stretch marks can be genetic, so getting them can be out of my control. However, I would still like to use a product that might help. What products do you ladies use to help prevent them? I know coconut oil or Shea butter are a few. But what specific brands/products do you use?
I’m in the second trimester, but still not showing. So I feel like now is the time to start this ritual. Thanks for the help!

Answer

Just moisturize your skin. No agent is going to “help” prevent them either. Lol it’s inevitable. If you’re destined to get them, you will get them. However, moisturizing your skin could prevent the urge to scratch. We get dry skin during pregnancy. I liked using Shea butter or Jamaican black castor oil. Some women have recommended bio oil but I hate how it feels on my skin.

Answer

I slathered coconut oil all over me every night. My husband called me a greased up pig 😂😂 (he was joking and I would laugh)
 I didn’t want to spend a fortune on lotions because I was using so much and so frequent.
Came out with no belly stretch marks and only a couple newer ones on my legs but you can’t see them.

Answer

I used cocoa butter twice a day from the day I found out I was pregnant up till when I had my daughter and thought I had managed to prevent them because I could only see 3. Then after my skin wasn’t so stretched out after delivery, my stomach was and is still covered in them. I don’t think preventing them works any more than trying to make them go away.

Answer

I use pure aloe. It lightened my stretch marks from puberty to being almost non-existent within weeks and I haven’t gotten any from pregnancy (I’ll be 30 weeks tomorrow). I just have two on my left boob because I went from a B to DD by week 10. It was dark purple at the beginning and by week 16 was hardly noticeable.
