best lotion to avoid stretch marks?

Question

Hi there ladies!

I'm wondering when do you ladies start applying lotion in your tummy/everywhere? 1st/2nd trimester?

How frequent do you ladies apply lotion?

And what brand of lotions do you ladies recommend?

I really wanna start avoiding stretch marks early 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Answer

The truth is u simply cannot avoid them.  Even bio oil doesn't get absorbed deep enough to make a,difference or even help..it only makes ur skin soft.. my best friend and I were pregnant together, 4 weeks apart.
I'm 5 foot and I was 85 lbs before pregnancy. Not bulimic, not anorexic, just tiny. I was ALL BELLY- streched to the max..gave birth at 41 weeks to my 7 lbs 1 ounce and 19 inches long daughter. I did not get ONE mark ANYWHERE and I didn't use any lotion at all.   And I'm back to pre pregnancy weight  (I hopped to keep some of that weight, but it didn't stick)
My best friend put creams,  lotions, potions..blah blah blah. . She got strech marks staring with 20 weeks. And she's not tiny like I am...age had plenty of room in there,  not like me that was not able to walk anymore... 
By the time she delivered, at 39 weeks,  she had tiger stripes on her tummy,  boobs and ass.
It's all in the genes.  All the "miracle" creams will not do anything to prevent them.

Answer

Start as soon as possible. I believe it depends on genes, but I believe keeping your skin hydrated and not scratching can limit how many you get. I've always lotioned up my body after showers so my skin is already pretty soft but during first pregnancy I still used pure coco butter or shea butter and I didn't get any stretch marks. I didn't gain a lot of weight during my first pregnancy nor was I showing heavily I'm not sure what will happen with this pregnancy so I'm taking precautions. My best friend is pregnant as well and she's wishing for me to have stretch marks I'm assuming because she's worried that she get them 🙄, but good luck hopefully you won't have to experience the stretch marks.

Answer

I started at 10 weeks, and I use Burt's Bees "Mama Bee" belly butter. I love it. It moisturizes my skin but doesn't leave me oily! I use it all over my body. Got it at target ☺️

Answer

It's about genes I had two kids and I never used no Lotion of any type and I never got stretch marks I asked my mid wife why I didn't and she said sometimes it has to do with genes and that I was lucky 😊

Answer

Bio oil! Oil sinks into the skin where lotion just sits on top and doesn't do much for you

Answer

Witch hazel

Answer

I've been using bio oil since first trimester and still got stretch marks..third trimester now. You can't prevent them with ouls and creams but you can keep your skin soft and hydrated to help them fade faster.
