How to treat fresh stretch marks during pregnancy?
I've noticed some fresh stretch marks appearing during my pregnancy. How can I treat fresh stretch marks to minimize them? I want to take care of my skin.
I completely understand how stressful it is to see these marks suddenly appearing, it made me so anxious about my body changing. Honestly, just applying virgin coconut oil right after a shower helped keep the skin soft. It's totally natural, so try to breathe and go easy on yourself.
Look, stretch marks are mostly genetic, so no miracle cream is going to wipe them out completely. Just keep the area moisturized with normal almond oil or coconut oil so it doesn't itch. Accept them, they are a sign of your body growing a life!
Dear, please don't worry about stretch marks, they are just beautiful tiger stripes. Just keep your skin well-moisturized with some coconut oil or a gentle body butter after bath. It will help with the itching too.
My mother-in-law advised me to apply warm mustard or coconut oil daily, but I also asked my dermatologist just to be safe. Keeping the skin hydrated really helps with fresh marks, so drink lots of water and use a simple moisturizer.
I can't suggest any specific creams, but personally, I used Bio-Oil and plain shea butter twice a day. It didn't make them disappear completely, but it definitely faded the red and purple color of the fresh marks.
