I bought a tub of shea butter for the stretch marks on my belly which are just starting to show. not sure how often to apply or if i should warm it first. anyone used it through their pregnancy?
I used shea butter daily on my belly, hips and thighs, just massage it in gently after a shower when skin is a bit damp. It kept the skin soft and helped with the itchy stretching. Twice a day was my routine, morning and night.
A small tub of plain shea butter lasts ages, so you dont need the expensive branded creams. I just used it twice a day on belly and thighs. Cheap, simple and did the job fine.
I felt so dry and itchy on the belly as it grew, and shea butter was such a relief. I would warm a little between my palms and rub it in slowly, it became my calming bedtime ritual. Really helped me feel pampered.
