The marks on my tummy and hips have become so dark in the third trimester. I know they may not fully go but i atleast want to fade them. What oils or creams actually worked for you ladies?
I used coconut oil and a bit of almond oil regularly from second trimester. It kept the itching down and skin supple. It doesn't magically erase them but the skin stays healthy.
Honestly any simple moisturiser used consistently works as well as the fancy expensive creams. I didn't spend on costly stuff. They lighten with time on their own mostly.
I just had my baby and the marks are very fresh. Honestly they fade a lot over months but rarely vanish fully. I kept oiling and moisturising daily, mainly to keep skin soft. Be gentle with yourself, they're proof of something beautiful.
I totally understand feeling conscious about them. But they faded so much for me over a year that I barely notice now. Give it time and don't be hard on your body.
