Well they look awful. I have them everywhere. Everyone says to use cocoa butter but I heard it doesn't work. Tbh I no this isn't right but I'm going to feel ashamed to wear crop tops and bikinis. I wasn't that big before the baby so i was hoping afterwards I could go back down. Even if I go back down Imma have stretch marks. 😞 I feel depressed about them tbh I know I shouldn't but I do.
Try mixing cocoa butter & coconut oil & just give it some time. (also try not to scratch, just rub)
You're always suppose to use some type of moisturizer. You should start using Palmers coco butter.
They don't stay red like that forever. It's normal to feel like how you do but over time they'll fade and so will your insecurities about them. It's your motherhood badge on honor. If you're concerned about it there are other products. Cocoa butter didn't work for me. I like Mederma. It's expensive and smells bad but it worked wonders for me.
