Best stretch mark cream & when to use it?

Question

This is my first pregnancy and I want to find out what the best stretch mark creams/oils are!? What have you used and do they really work? Also, when would you recommend I start using it? Thanks!! 😀

Answer

I used a mixture of cocoa butter and coconut oil. I buy straight cocoa butter from the health food store (I'm overseas now and get it from iherb.com) and mix the whole jar in a sauce pot and equal parts coconut oil (the cocoa butter is hard so will need to warm it in the microwave or in boiling water to soften it up a bit). Mix them, then pour into a mason jar and let it cool. Depending on the temp where you are, it will either stay liquid or harden up. Here it is liquid most of the time (even when the AC is on) as it's extremely hot here. I rub it on every day all over my body, and once my stomach starts to get a bump I put it on twice a day. As I get big I put it in when I think of it during the day too. Best part is it isn't greasy, your skin soaks it right up, and you'll smell like an almond joy. And no gross additives or chemicals. I've had two babies and not a stretch mark in sight :)

I've been using Bio Oil every morning. I already have stretch marks from previous pregnancies but I'm hoping to get no more, unfortunately there really isn't a way to prevent them really, if you are going to get them you are going to get them.

Answer

Drinking water helps, it's makes your skin have more elasticity. Also, stretch marks are hereditary. If you mom had them, you are prone to get them as well.

Answer

Honestly I used them all from day one and it didn't stop any of them! Lol unfortunately if your going to get them there's no stopping it! I think using cream helps but won't stop them!

I used mama mio during my first pregnancy and don't get one. My mom has them REALLY bad so I think it helped. I am currently using it again right now and am 9 weeks today.
