Is it okay to use?

Question

I don't have stretch marks yet but I'm trying to keep a good skin care regimen to prevent them as much as possible.
Would it be okay to use a cream lotion on my tummy with shea butter, coconut oil, and aloe vera? Would it be beneficial or would it do nothing for ones skin?
It has NO parabens, sodium chloride, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, GMO's, mineral oils, petrolatum, gluten, and triclosan.

Answer

It doesn't matter what you use. Lotions and oils don't penetrate into the layer of skin where stretch marks form. So use whatever you like. You'll either get them or you won't.

Answer

Your skin care routine isn’t what’s going to prevent them. Clean eating, exercise, lots of water and gradual weight gain is what will prevent them.

Answer

Thank you ladies! I heard it was genetic and I believe it, my sister never got stretch marks during her pregnancy and my mom had 13 kids and no stretch marks! (I'm half Filipina by the way)
I still just want to be careful, but didn't want to go all out on products if they wouldn't do much.
I haven't gained much weight and I'm 22 weeks (my bump's still pretty small) and drink toooons of water everyday due to always feeling thirsty.

Answer

It’s definitely okay to use. I have used Palmer’s Tummy Butter since early pregnancy to help prevent stretch marks. Also, drink a ton of water to keep your skin hydrated which will help too.

Answer

Ya that’s fine. Even if you end up getting stretch marks you will need a good lotion for your belly for ichtyness.

Answer

It's perfectly fine to use. But if you are going to get stretch marks you will. It's genetic. I used all this specialty crap and my stomach looks like a road map.
