The cure to stretch marks before they begin?!

Question

I've been told from family members that Vitamin E oil and Aloe rubbed on your belly daily will reduce stretch marks or just the chance of having them, what home remedies to you suggest?

Answer

Vitamin c!!! It makes collagen in the body which u need for healthy strong skin, 36 wks and not a single mark and it's my third baby :)

Answer

Lots of water is always good for your body and your baby! I used Palmer's during my first pregnancy only on my tummy and didn't get any stretch marks. I left out my sides though and they fell victim. This time around I'm alternating a few things, bio oil in the morning and evening, exfoliate in the shower then rub in vitamin E oil (I also put it in my bath water) After drying off I rub on coconut oil (which I LOVE) I also use the Palmer's tummy butter throughout the day. Keeping your skin moisturized will not only prevent itching (which can cause stretch marks) but it'll improve your skins elasticity. It also helps to maintain a healthy diet. My little regime may seem excessive but so be it, if genetics wins then at least I tried my best!

Answer

They say its largely genetic and unfortunately I found out its true :( I did an oil with Vitamin E plus coca butter and coconut oil and thought I was good. The day I hit 35 weeks they started and I have new ones every day :(

Answer

Nope you can't really stop them. The only cure is genetics (and slow weight gain).
