I'm only 12 weeks and just noticed I'm starting to get stretch marks on my boobs :( what lotions and potions do you all use I'm thinking of getting the Palmers cocoa butter one coz I love cocoa butter. Can't believe it though... stretch marks already :'(
I use bio oil and now have got a therapy massage bar from lush it's £6.50 but all the reviews say even the darkest stretch marks have gone white over just a few weeks of using it. Worth a try! X
Fortunately I haven't suffered from stretch marks in this pregnancy or any other time but regardless of that I swear by Pure coconut oil, the real stuff can be quite expensive but it really does smooth out marks etc. I have a scar on my leg which has toned down a lot since using it. X
I deffo agree with @lou bio oil a very good. If you look online you should find cheap offers because it's quite pricey
I love bio oil, I'm really prone to stretch marks, I got them all over my legs when I was a teen. In pregnancy I've been using bio oil since 12 weeks and i haven't had a stretch mark..YET. It's not greasy as it absorbs extremely quickly :)
thank you for all you tips guys I already have some from puberty I was really skinny as a kid and ate everything, hit puberty and exploded they have all faded without creams so I no they will go and I can cope with them on my tummy just didn't expect them on my boobs til more the end. as much as I'll hate them I'll love them Coz my baby gave them too me :) just don't want bright red ones hence asking about creams to help xx
unfortunately stretch marks can't be got rid of. if you've got them. then embrace them. the only thing you can do is cream them up to make them supple and less red. good luck. 38 weeks myself and given up with caring about them x
I use Palmers Cocoa butter but the one for pregnancy (there is a drawing of a pregnant lady on it) and Palmers do an oil (cheaper than bio oil, not too greasy when rubbed in) I use the body lotion every day and have since find out I'm pregnant and hubs rubs the oil on bump at bedtime. x The sanctuary mum to be body butter is also good, my sister used it. you won't find it with the other sanctuary stuff in boots though, it's with the mamma stuff.
I think I was at the same time when I'd mine .. but since then blessed nothing at all but you never knoe.. I am using bio and cocunut oil as well but heard you can't escape from stretch marks and nothing much u can do about it either as @jayden19 said totally agree with her, I remember my nana had 8-9 kids but had hardly any and my mum had stretchmarks ..though she had only 3 kids 😂 XxxX
Palmers cocoa butter is really good. I only have stretch marks on places I forgot to put it (like my inner thighs!) but they have even started to fade now I'm using it twice a day x
@jayden19, I no some people get them and others dont but if I can try and stop them being as bad then I'll give it a go ay :) x
@sofyaf thank you ill look them up see if a pharmacy near me has them in x
Don't want to alarm you but I tried every lotion and potion & I still got them I think it's down to genetics and skin type my mum has them luckily they faded really well after with bio oil and coconut cream...good luck x
Lierac and Elancyl, both are French, you can find in pharmacy. They are the best
I've heard of that one but didn't want to get an oil, is it really oily? I no that sounds daft coz it's called an oil just doing want a greasy body after having a shower lol I feel like I sound really naive I just wanted to know what's a popular one x
bio oil is good I have stretch marks really bad and I find this works @gempops
Any stretch mark cream suggestions other than the Cocoa butter stretch mark cream?? It only makes the itching worse 😏😩
so my stretch marks are getting baaaaad. I've tried the cocoa butter stuff for stretch marks and it isn't working. anyone else have any suggestions? I am 25 weeks.
cocoa butter or bio-oil? trying to reduce my chances of getting stretch marks early.
when do you get stretch marks?
Getting stretch marks all on my lower stomach. :( they are so light but nonetheless hurt so bad! I use cocoa butter, palmers stuff several times a day and baby oil... Any other suggestions? 😣 this sucks.
that sounds good to me I'll have to try that lush bar @becca2716 I think I'm gonna give the coco butter a go 1st coz I love the smell and see how I get on and if not I'll go to the oil and bathe in it haha xx
