Delivered 2 months back and my tummy has so many marks now. I used oil during pregnancy but they still came. Does anything actually fade them or do they just stay? Pls share ur experience.
When I was at my maternal home, my grandmother made a special paste of aloe vera and almond oil for me. It really helped to lighten my marks naturally over a few months. Just be patient with your body.
My skin was already quite sensitive due to PCOS, so I stuck to plain organic coconut oil. Stretch marks are just a beautiful sign of what your body achieved, they won't fully disappear but will fade nicely. Just keep the skin hydrated.
While many creams claim to remove stretch marks, it is best to ask your gynac before using any strong chemical treatments, especially if you are breastfeeding. Simple moisturizers like shea butter are safe to use daily.
I am in my second trimester and starting to see light marks on my belly now, does anyone else have this? I am planning to start using cocoa butter. Let me know if that worked for any of u!
I got so anxious looking at my red stretch marks and kept googling all day! They do fade from red to light silver over time, don't worry. Just use a simple bio oil or cocoa butter regularly, but please don't stress, it takes time.
I hope to experience this journey soon, but my mom always says that applying virgin coconut oil from early on helps a lot. It keeps the skin soft and moist. Hopefully, that will help u fade them gently.
