How are you fighting stretch marks!?

Question

Interested in what other people are using? Which ingredients are important to you? Any crazy home remedies?
 I've been using Palmer's Cocoa Butter and Creme (butter on belly, creme everywhere else) which I love, both are very moisturizing, but the scent isn't my favorite. Thought about mixing in an oil but not sure which one would compliment it. 😊

Answer

Praying that I have my mamma’s good skin genes. 
Also I’m drinking a TON of water, lathering up in Coco body butter, and bio oil.

Answer

Coconut oil for me has been a life saver, no itchyness or dry skin or tight skin for that matter🤷‍♀️ my whole bump feels sooo soft I love it, and no stretch marks yet👏

Answer

Straight up coconut oil. It will stain your clothes but I'd rather have stained clothes that I can replace than stretch marks 🤷🏼‍♀️ now, I will say I have gotten some on my hips/butt but they are super faint. So not all lotions, oils, or whatever will prevent them and I don't think there is a magic lotion that will stop them, but using something can only help!

Answer

You can't really do anything about it. Moisturizers keep the rest of the skin smooth and helps with the itchiness, but really if they happen they happen.

Answer

I'm fighting them by not fighting them. I try to drink a lot of water and get exercise, though.

Answer

Prayer, lotion and coconut oil 😂 My last pregnancy ripped my stomach and hips so badly. My belly has never been the same but unfortunately for me my genetics don't include elastic skin.

Answer

21wks w baby number 3 and I didn't have them with my previous pregnancies.... SUUUUUPER paranoid I'll get them this time. Soooo since like week 10 🙄... I lather my belly in olive oil in the am and before bed and then anytime I get out the shower...... no problems with itching what so ever........ I'm kinda vain. I'll admit it. So a priority along with growing a healthy baby.... is to look like I don't have 3 daughters 😏

Answer

i heard its hereditary. my mom got them all over, maybe my sis got them not sure but i haven't. im on #4.i use cocoa butter, st.ives with elastin...i lube up almost throught out the day and drink tonnnnns of water.

Answer

Anyone heard of the bone broth craze? It's supposed to help your body produce more collagen from the inside out? 😂🙈
