Im 6 months and the marks have started showing on my tummy and a little on the sides. Some are itchy too. is there anything that actually helps reduce them or at least the itching? pls share what worked for u.
Honestly, for me, nothing truly 'worked' to prevent them completely. I used so many creams, but still got some. I think it's mostly genetics and how much your skin stretches. After delivery, they do fade a bit though. Just keep your skin moisturized, that's what I did.
I panicked so much about stretch marks, thinking my body would be ruined! I bought all the expensive creams. While some people swear by them, for me, the key was just staying super hydrated and moisturizing regularly. They did come, but they faded and now I don't even notice them much. Don't stress too much!
I'm already in my second trimester and seeing some faint lines, ugh! Is there any specific cream or oil that worked exceptionally well for anyone? I've been using a regular moisturizer but I feel like I need something stronger. What about those expensive mark removal creams?
Haan haan, yeh toh sabko hote hain yaar! Main toh coconut oil ya almond oil lagati thi pet par, roz raat mein. Bahut fayda hua tha. Aur paani bhi bohot peeti thi. Na kuch zyada mehnga cream kharida, na kuch. Simple ghar ka nuskha hi theek rehta hai.
Haha, with twins, you can pretty much guarantee them! My belly was huge. I used cocoa butter religiously, but I still ended up with a map of the world on my tummy. Best thing is to keep your skin hydrated and accept them as battle scars. They fade eventually, mostly!
I totally understand wanting to avoid them, our bodies go through so much! While you can't completely prevent them if your skin is prone, keeping your skin super hydrated with oils like almond oil or shea butter can help a lot. Remember, these marks are a beautiful reminder of the miracle you're growing!
Hey! 🥰 Don't worry too much about them, they're like little badges of honor! But to minimize them, I used a good quality cocoa butter or shea butter every single day, morning and night. And drink tons of water! Keep that skin supple! ✨
I'm trying to conceive and was wondering about this. Is there anything we can do from the start to prevent them? What kind of oil is best to apply? I heard castor oil is good, is that true?
Honestly, stretch marks are mostly genetic. Don't waste too much money on expensive creams, better save up for baby's essentials and hospital bills! Just keep your skin well-moisturized with something simple like coconut oil or a basic lotion. Hydration from inside is also important, so drink lots of water.
It's a very common concern, and sometimes it's really about skin elasticity and genetics. I'd say keep your skin really well hydrated from the outside with good moisturizers, and from the inside by drinking plenty of water. Just be gentle with your skin. I always believed in doing what you can and not stressing about what you can't control.
After going through terrible morning sickness, I was so focused on just feeling better that stretch marks felt like a secondary concern! But honestly, the best approach is regular moisturizing. Keep your skin supple with a good quality lotion or oil. It won't magically prevent them, but it can help with skin elasticity.
Actually, genetics play a huge role in whether you get stretch marks or not. The main thing you can do is keep your skin very well moisturized to maintain its elasticity as it stretches. Use creams or oils with ingredients like cocoa butter, shea butter, or Vitamin E. Drink plenty of water too, internal hydration helps.
