Starflower Oil - external use as tummy moisturiser?

[misslissa]

Hi all,

Anyone use starflower oil or epo to massage/moisturise their bumps?

I'm 32 weeks and been reading up on taking epo to help soften cervix but also heard mentioned epo/sfo could be good used externally. Might help stretch marks etc?

Wel anything that's an oil will help keep moisture in you skin . However nothing you put on you skin can do a whole lot for stretch marks. It's more about how much elastin you have in your skin genetically

No I guess not! So long as its not dangerous for baby I might use some - I have a huge tub of them. They are like EPO but stronger so wanted to check they were ok.
