My belly skin is starting to feel tight and itchy and my cousin suggested bio oil for stretch marks. But i wasnt sure if its ok to apply on the skin while pregnant. Did any of u use it? from which month did u start?
I used bio oil from my 5th month for stretch marks and it was fine for me. Just patch test on your arm first. Honestly it doesnt fully prevent marks, genetics decides a lot, but it kept my skin soft which felt nice.
Yes most moms use it without issues, apply on belly, hips and thighs daily. Many people prefer coconut oil too, works similar. Just dont apply on broken skin and you're sorted.
Generally considered safe topically during pregnancy. That said, if you have sensitive skin or any condition, just run it by your gynac once. I asked mine and she said go ahead, no problem.
It works but it's a bit pricey honestly. I alternated bio oil with plain coconut oil to make the bottle last, and my skin was just as good. Hydration and water also help marks more than people think.
