How to reduce stretch marks on stomach during pregnancy?
Im in 6th month and these lines have started showing on my pet, itchy bhi lagta hai. I dont want them to spread more if possible. Whatever worked for u yaar pls tell, oil ya cream kuch?
No need to spend thousands on expensive stretch mark creams, hospital bills are already going to be so high! Plain mustard oil or coconut oil from the kitchen works just as well. Save that money for baby shopping and delivery expenses instead.
Haha, my focus is always on what to eat next, but yes, the itchy tummy is real! I massage with olive oil after taking a bath, and then go back to planning my next snack. Keep drinking lots of water too!
These are actually your warrior marks, so don't feel bad about them. But yes, applying cocoa butter regularly keeps the skin soft and reduces the itchiness a lot. Stay positive and enjoy this beautiful journey!
Let's be real, a lot of it is just genetics. If your mom had them, you might get them too. Just keep the skin hydrated with a heavy moisturizer or shea butter to prevent severe itching, that's the best you can do.
I asked my gynac about this and she said stretch marks happen in the deeper layers of skin, so creams can only help with surface dryness. She recommended using a lotion with hyaluronic acid or just basic moisturizing cream right after a shower when the skin is damp.
Oh I was so paranoid about this during my months, kept checking the mirror every day! Honestly, some marks still stayed but applying bio-oil right from the start helped a bit. Don't stress too much, your body is doing an amazing job!
I just used plain virgin coconut oil twice a day on my belly and it worked wonders for the itching. Everyone's skin is different but for me, keeping it constantly moisturized was the key.
