Suggestions for stretch mark prevention?

Question

I've heard stretch marks have a genetic link (which is good because my mom doesn't have any). However, I am doing my best to prevent them! I use cocoa butter and palmers at least 2-3 times a day. Are there any other suggestions to prevent?

Answer

Stretch marks are genetic, if you get them you can't prevent them. You can keep your skin hydrated inside and out to help with irritation and inflammation though.

Any regular hypoallergenic moisturizing lotion will do and drink tons of water.

Answer

My mom had stretch marks and at 38 weeks I don't have any. I think you just either get them or you don't. I only lotion 2x/day, sometimes twice

Answer

Bio oil. Start it as soon as possibly... I started at 4 weeks I apply it twice a day and 4 weeks later my stretch marks from my last pregnancy are beginning to go white

Answer

I use bio oil and it works well! I've gotten a bunch already but I use it every night and it fades them really quickly so they don't get as bad.

Answer

I love the oil I use. It smells amazing. It's from an online store called oxalis  there are different essential oils blended. Rub it all over and my skin feels amazing all day. I reapply mid day because I love the smell so much.

Answer

I use J&J baby oil with vitamin E every day after I shower. I'm 38 weeks and no stretch marks :) also use Cocoa butter lotion before bed :)
