I figured that if I'm gonna get them, Ill get them but just thought all these things might just help the skin prepare to stretch.
Good skin is in my genes so hopefully that'll help me and I moisturise my whole body every day (sometimes twice a day) religiously I cant go without it! lol but hopefully its going to help my skin prepare and stretch.
I have squillions, and I got ALL of them within a space of a few days, after moisturising for months. They hurt like hell when I got them and you could practically watch them appear, marching across my tummy at a few inches a day. Its the sub-layer of the skin that tears so moisturiser would have to really soak in.
Once you get too big for your skin, something has to give ...
I used Mama Bee Belly Butter from before my belly even grew and used Dove's cocoa butter shower gel. The only stretch mark I got was in my belly button where I couldn't get the cream in!!!!! I kept waiting for them to appear, my mum got them when having me and my brother, but I didn't!
I moisturised in the morning with Palmers cocoa butter and then at night with Bio Oil (because it smells better!). I didn't get any stretchmarks.... until week 32 when I woke up, looked in the mirror and had grown a gazillion of them overnight. I think if you're going to get them, you'll get them no matter what. I'm not as disappointed as I thought I would be at getting them.
One problem I do have, is now I have the stretchmarks, I'm having reactions to most creams/moisturisers/oils. Good old Olive Oil is relieving the itch a bit and not leaving any rash.
I used palmers too. 3 times a day i would lather myself up. I have stretch parks all over my thighs, back, belly, boobs.. everywhere. They seem to keep coming too..
If you find a way to avoid them or get rid of them, let me know!
