any1 using stretch mark creams

[kellylou]

i used a free sample of palmers so got asda little angels been using it for a while and so far no major stretch mars anyone else use anything and does it work?

I use the palmers stretch mark lotion, no stretch marks so far but still a little early. I only use it on my belly and boobs and then regular lotion everywhere else, as cant afford to go through a £5 bottle of stetch mark lotion every week! lol!

Palmers didnt work on me

So today, I have swapped to bio oil, Ill see how that goes

I am not brand loyal

I started with bio oil
Moved onto Neal's Yard mother's massage oil
Then on to Neal's Yard Mother's Balm
Now onto Palmers Stretch Mark Butter

So far so good though

Hi Dear, Can you tell me where did you get Neals Yard Mother balm and oil..I have been looking at boots but could not fine one

I am only 13 weeks, but have been moisturising everyday, first with body shop cocoa butter and when that ran out i got the normal palmers moisturiser, i have been applying it to my tummy since week 6 or something so will see how i go and see if any marks develop as my bump grows.

i used coco butter all way through my first and the last week of pregnancy i got covered in stretch marks so ive started using rescue oil its a cheaper version of bio oil for my stretch marks seems to be doing great as i dont want to get worse ones when this baby comes, i got 40ml bottle of rescue oil in poundland for £1 seriously so worth it you can get it online too xx

I have a Neal's Yard store in Brighton, so bought from there. But you can buy their products online

I have rescue oil as well had it before as always had some silvery stretch marks which I REALLY dont mind its more the big red ones I am trying to avoid!

unfortunately if your the type to get them , you will get them, but the creams do help to ease the way of these nasty marks and minimise the damage a little and make them not so itchy when they do. Ask your mums if you can , if they got them, chances are - you will too, but they are a momento of what you did for your kids.

I tried palmers, and really thought it was working, buit I had a small bump till late and then grew so maybe it's best to get fat early in tri1 and grow slowly - perhaps that will help more than skini minis and get them in last 6 weeks.

I got some free aveno mositurisers and it's really not greasy, (don't think my skin would appriciate the bio oil much), and so I will be testing that this time

My mum bought me bio oil, but it's pretty pricey, so I use it every few days and other days use aloe vaseline lotion. From what I understand, you just need to keep your skin hydrated (or did I make that up?!)

 

[keljordan]

JJ'S mum is right if your gonna get them you'll get them... Although my mum has had 5 kids and not one bloody stretchmark!! It all depends in your skin I think so unfair that we have to get them though!!!!

my best friends husband is a dermotoligist... he says that it doesnt matter if u use a 50 pound stretch mark cream or a £1 tub of value body lotion, the most important thing is keeping your skin moisturised. there is also no way of preventing stretch marks as if ur going to get them u will, even after birth to get rid of them still moisturising is key but once again it doesnt matter what u use xxx
