Im in my 6th month and just started noticing few lines on my lower belly and sides. My mom keeps telling me to oil daily but honestly im not sure what actually works. What did you all use and did it really help?
I had zero time for elaborate routines yaar. I just kept a bottle of bio oil near my bed and applied at night before sleeping, 1 min job. Be regular, that matters more than the product.
I felt so conscious about mine in the last trimester. Honestly nothing made them fully disappear but coconut oil twice a day kept my skin less itchy and soft. They fade a lot after delivery, mine are way lighter now.
From what I read, no cream actually prevents them 100 percent, it depends on skin type. Moisturising keeps skin comfortable though. If you want a specific product better ask ur gynac what is safe in pregnancy.
Sach bataun, genetics ka bhi role hai. With both my kids I oiled daily and drank lots of water, that helped the itching more than the marks. Dont waste money on fancy creams, simple almond oil is enough.
Beta, ghar pe we always used nariyal tel or malai with a pinch of haldi gently. Massage softly na, not too hard. But if skin feels very stretched or painful just tell ur doctor once.
