Stretch marks.. What really works?

Question

Ok ladies, stretch marks are bound to happen to most of us regardless of how much lotion and oil we use. I woke up this morning with my first tiny start of one. (I know I should embrace them, but I died a little on the inside) I am now wondering what you beautiful mamas have used after baby to reduce the appearance of them and help them fade. What is worth the money and what is a total waste?

Answer

I used palmers stretch Mark lotion on my tummy every time I had to pee with my first child, I didn't get not one stretch Mark on my stomach. Which is great being I gained 110lbs. My advice is don't forget to apply it also on your inner thighs, breasts, and butt!

Being in healthcare and a lover of science I strongly believe it's all in your genes, HOWEVER... With my first child I used lotions and oils anyway, as it is good for your skin, especially with all the stretching it endures. I didn't get a single stretch mark. This time around I am doing the same exact regiment to hopefully avoid getting any. Here's what I use in the morning, at lunch time, and before bed:

Avon used to have a stretchmark cream, it's amazing and fades them quick. If they still sell it. If not, I think it's maderma that makesa stretchmark  cream that fades them. It won't totally get rid of them but it will fade the redness out and they'll be white/skin colored so you can only see them in certain light. I would wait u til after pregnancy to use either of those though. For now, just lotion/oil up to keep your skin moisturized and help lessen the severity of the ones you get. People will say you'll get them no matter what don't lotion, but I can tell you that it helps lessen hoe many and how bad they are. My husbands niece didn't take care of her skin and no one in her family on either side had ever gotten stretch marks (but they also lotioned) and hers were so deep you could lay a #2 pencil lengthwise in them.

I actually mixed up this ridiculous concoction of coconut oil with frankincense and melaleuca oil mixed in. I have just started buying DoTerra oils and was pretty skeptical. Turns out, it totally works!! Hubs could see a difference in only a couple days!! If it's something you're interested in, I'm sure you could find a rep in your area to sell you those two bottles. I'm such a believer now!! Lol

Answer

I use Bio Oil & Coconut oil switch back & forth between them (bio oil in morning & night & coconut oil in the afternoon) it's helped with all my stretch marks plus prevented new ones this pregnancy
