Thoughts on bio-oil skincare oil?

Question

I don’t have stretch marks yet but I want to try to minimize the chances of me getting stretch marks while I’m ahead. Does anyone know if this will work to help not get stretch marks?

Answer

I used it my first pregnancy, and got hella stretch marks. It truly doesn’t matter what you put on your skin. If stretch marks are in your genes, then you’ll get them. But still keep that belly moisturized! It helps with the itchiness!!! I used burts bees mama belly oil with my 2nd, and it’s amazing!! If you like the smell of lemons

Answer

If you’re going to get stretch marks you’ll get them no matter what.  I used it every day and got them a few weeks before I gave birth. My sister told me it’s more about helping with itching 🤷‍♀️

Answer

It MIGHT help, but it's all about your skin "texture". I know women who used this multiple times a day throughout their entire pregnancy and were riddled with stretch marks and others who never put any lotion or oil on and didn't get a single mark.

Answer

OB advised not to use this while pregnant because of some of the questionable ingredients it contained that were topically unsafe for pregnancy as it would be absorbed in the bloodstream. Ended up using it post pregnancy and wasn’t much of a fan. Preferred natural coconut oil.

Answer

I believe stretch marks are all due to genetics. I like Mederma quick dry oil. Helps with itchiness. I also am trying summer fridays belly balm but it just seems like any other lotion 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I bought the Palmers stretchmark collection: lotion, cream, tummy butter and oil. Heard raving reviews about it on google and Youtube. I have started applying it at 10 weeks now. They say start early. Only time will tell.

Answer

I used this bio-oil mixed with Burts Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter my first pregnancy and didn’t get one stretch Mark!!!!
