Does coconut oil prevent stretch marks during pregnancy?
My belly skin has started feeling dry and tight in 6th month. I am applying coconut oil because mom says it will stop marks, but I dont know if it really works. What did you use?
I felt so good massaging coconut oil every night, it became my little me-time. I still got few marks but they faded a lot after delivery. So dont expect magic but it really helped my dry itchy skin.
Dont waste money on those fancy stretch mark creams yaar. Plain coconut oil does almost same thing for skin moisture. Marks depend on weight gain and skin type more than any oil actually.
In our home coconut oil is used for everything hehe. My mom told me to apply daily and i did. Marks reduce in colour over time but no oil can promise prevention, drink water and eat well also.
Coconut oil = nice smell + soft belly, magic eraser = no haha. I oiled myself like a samosa and still got couple of marks. They fade though, wear them like a medal yaar.
Beta we always used coconut oil or even malai in our time. It wont stop marks completely but keeps tummy moisturised and stops that pulling feeling. Just warm it slightly and apply, very harmless.
Honestly it doesnt fully prevent them, thats mostly in your genes. But coconut oil keeps skin soft and less itchy as belly grows. I used it both times, marks still came on hips but skin felt good na.
