Delivered 2 months back and my tummy is full of stretch marks now. Some are still reddish. Did any oil or cream actually help you fade them or do they just go on their own?
Don't buy those overpriced creams in fancy packaging. Regular warm virgin coconut oil mixed with a little aloe vera gel twice a day works just as well and is so cheap.
Honestly, think of them as your tiger stripes! But if you really want them gone, bio oil and coconut oil are our best friends, though they will never completely vanish overnight lol.
They are actually micro-tears in the dermis, so they take time to fade from red to silver. Keep the skin hydrated with hyaluronic acid or thick cocoa butter to help them fade faster.
I used to cry looking at my belly after delivery, but then I realized almost every mother has them. Just keep moisturising with almond oil, they fade a lot over the first year, trust me.
I tried five different creams because I was so worried they would stay forever. In the end, simple virgin coconut oil helped the most, just be consistent and try not to stress too much.
