I had some skin rashes during my pregnancy, so my doctor advised me to avoid heavily scented oils. Before using Bio-Oil or any new product, just check with your dermatologist or gynac to ensure it won't trigger any allergy.
I'm in my 5th month now and my stomach has started itching a lot. Does Bio-Oil actually prevent stretch marks, or is it mostly genetics? I am so confused if I should buy it.
Bio-Oil is popular nowadays, but in our times we used simple virgin coconut oil or ghee on the belly. Both work well to keep the skin soft. If you buy Bio-Oil, just apply it gently after a bath.
Bio-Oil is great for external application and keeping the skin moist. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to be very careful with what I ate, but keeping the skin hydrated externally was completely safe and helpful.
I felt so self-conscious about my growing belly and stretch marks. I started using Bio-Oil from my second trimester and it felt really hydrating and soothing on my dry skin. It definitely helped reduce the itching.
