After my delivery, I've noticed quite a few stretch marks from pregnancy. I'm looking for effective ways to reduce or remove them. What methods or products have worked for you ladies?
Carrying twins gave me double the stretch marks, so my belly looked like a map, haha! Practically speaking, no cream can make them disappear completely, but keeping your skin moisturized helps them fade. Just love your body for what it did!
My belly looks like a zebra crossing right now, haha! I've been applying coconut oil daily, but honestly, with this huge 3rd-trimester bump, I'm just embracing them. They will fade eventually, so don't lose sleep over them.
I panicked so much when I saw red lines appearing on my belly, I thought they would stay forever! But my doctor reassured me they are just battle scars and completely normal. They faded to light silver lines over time, so please don't stress about them.
I had such terrible morning sickness that applying heavily scented anti-stretch mark creams made me throw up instantly. I switched to simple, odorless coconut oil which kept my skin moisturized. They fade on their own over time, so just be gentle with yourself.
My baby is a toddler now, and looking back, those stretch marks were totally worth it. I used to apply simple virgin coconut oil and shea butter, and today they are barely visible. Give your body some time to heal, they fade naturally.
Honestly, I'm so sleep-deprived right now that I barely have time to look in the mirror, let alone worry about stretch marks! I just slather on whatever moisturizer is near me. They do fade slowly over time, so don't stress too much about them.
