Im in my third trimester and the marks on my tummy are getting darker and more. I know its normal but yaar it bothers me a little. What did u all use that actually helped?
With my PCOS, my skin was already prone to stretching and marks. Honestly, you can't completely clear them while pregnant, but keeping the skin hydrated with virgin coconut oil helps ease the itchiness. Don't worry too much about them, they fade with time.
Let's be real, stretch marks are mostly genetic and you can't magically erase them. But applying bio oil or thick cocoa butter daily will definitely help fade them over time and stop the scratching. Wear them like a badge of honor, your body did something amazing!
Keeping your skin moisturized from inside out is key, so drink lots of water. I used to apply cold-pressed almond oil right after my light walks and shower. Just make sure any anti-stretch mark cream you buy is fully safe for pregnancy, maybe run it by your doctor.
No need to spend thousands on expensive stretch mark creams, they don't do magic. Just use normal ghar ka mustard oil or coconut oil twice a day to keep the belly soft. It's cheap, safe, and works just as fine to reduce the itching and marks.
I know how hard it is to see your body changing so rapidly, it used to make me so anxious and conscious. Just remember your body is growing a whole life! Try gently massaging some pure shea butter, it feels very soothing and will help with the dryness.
