I am keen to find a cream/lotion/oil that I can rub on my growing belly (and thighs haha). I used the Palmers Cocoa Butter stuff for my first pregnancy and have since wised up on the chemical side of things. I know that no cream will prevent stretch marks, but I am keen to give it a shot anyway. More importantly, I want to be armed with some good stuff well before the belly skin-itching starts!! Any suggestions would be much appreciated :)
Moogoo!!!!! The full cream one!!!
Yeah I thought as much :) I have been using the MSM cream (stealing it from my boy's nappy cabinet!), but was wondering if there was something out there (other than Brilliant MooGoo) that I didn't know about! thanks, Kazbah :)
Hi there, I have no experience in this but my friend swears by Gaia Belly Butter. She used it all through her pregnancy and only ended up with 2 stretch marks! It is expensive though but really nice!
100% pure virgin organic coconut oil from any health shop & it smells divine! Why do you think they have such gorgeous skin in Fiji :)
It comes in a jar & is cold pressed, just rub it in your hands, it melts really quickly!
check out www dot lmnaturals dot com - stretch mark oil
look up something called "The Good Oil". It's fantastic, non greasy and all natural. I use it for everything from stretch marks to psoriasis to ingrown hairs. PM me if you want me to send you a link.
almond oil xo
Giai Belly butter is good and under $20 a tube I think
Pure almond oil - get it from the health food shop, it comes in a huge bottle (cause it's used for cooking too) and is really cheap (about $11 I think I paid) and is one of the higgest concentrations of vit E without chemicals etc... I bought a bottle at 8 weeks and haven't even used a tenth of the bottle and I am now 34 weeks, no smell to it and it's not greasy considering it's oil!
Mum to be stretch mark cream, it's organic but a bit more expensive than the other options, you can buy it from tots n tales online baby store.
Burt's bees also have a tummy butter that smells ok, bit funky IMO but it also is on the more expensive side but is organic.
I am using the almond oil to prevent stretchies and Sukin moisturiser to keep my skin hydrated.. so far only have 3 dot stretchies on my hip that look like little bruises, not big purple lines and strechies in my family are usually huge and very obvious!!!
Good luck sweets!
I used Tinderbox belly rub. Didn't work, but smells amazing and feels great!
Hey I'm using the mum to be one at the moment, ran out of all my other concoctions hehe. 'Mum to be' is nice, it smells fruity
I use the Gaia Belly Butter. I have zero stretch marks from pregnancy (a few silvery bits left over from puberty - so I am not immune to stretch marks and I really think the Gaia works)
