Stretch mark creams...

[kristen77]

Hi ladies,

Just wondered what (if any) you were using?? I have been told to use bio-oil in the morning and Palmers cocoa butter stretch mark cream in the evening. Have been using them for about a week now as I've told I need to get my skin in good condition...? What's anyone else using? Or am I jumping the gun?!!

I think stretch marks are largely genetic, so ask your mum if she has many. I think using creams can't help, because you need to keep your skin hydrated. I use bio oil in the morning and at night I mix it with Nivea q10 lotion and slather it all over my tum and boobies.

I put about 5 drops of bio oil in the bath because I don't like greasy hands, when I get out it's all soaked in and shimmery

P.s I think although genetic, prevention is better then cure with stretchmarks so its not a bad idea to start early as, you never know how early you'll get a bump! x

I've just bought something called 'Pregnacare', although I guess Bio Oil is pretty good too. I say start early, the earlier the better!

My mother has absolutely no stretchmarks on her stomach, and with my first pregnancy neither did I until about 32 ish weeks.

At first I was like "ha! see no stretchmarks!" until then - BAM!!! a million in one go, and I must say I do regret it nearly four years later, as I used nothing but regular creams. Lol

This time I'm on damage limitation, so I can say - although the chances are that if it's gong to happen it will to some degree - there's no harm in trying! And I'm definitely trying this time!

With my DS i used avent dry oil spray. It was non greasy and i could feel the difference, plus it smells delish!

I use bio oil when I can be bothered to rub it all in, and palmers cocoa butter when I can't, as it soaks in easier.
I get stretch marks easily so I don't think I can stop them

I have some regular lotion and some palmer's. I use them both from time to time (when I remember).
