When should i start using bio oil during pregnancy?
My belly is just starting to show and im worried about stretch marks. Bought bio oil already but confused na, should i start applying it now or wait till later months?
I felt so conscious about getting stretch marks, so I started applying Bio-Oil religiously from the end of my first trimester. It kept my skin really soft and hydrated through those months.
I started using it from my fourth month on my belly and hips. After my C-section, I also massaged it gently around the scar area once it healed, and it really helped fade the marks.
You can start applying it as soon as you enter your second trimester, around the 13th week. It's safe, but always double-check with your gynac if you have sensitive or allergy-prone skin.
Personally, I started using it in my second trimester when my stomach began to show. It worked well for my dry skin, but everyone's skin is different so see what suits you.
Start using it from your second trimester, beta, when the bump actually starts growing. It will prevent dryness and that irritating itchiness. Just apply it gently twice a day.
While Bio-Oil is very popular, it's always safest to check with your gynac before applying any new product during pregnancy. If they say it's fine, you can start using it from your second trimester.
I asked my dermatologist at the hospital in my 14th week, and she said Bio-Oil is perfectly safe to start. The hospital staff also suggested keeping the skin hydrated to avoid itching.
Take care of your body as it nurtures a new soul. Starting from the 4th month is generally good to keep the skin moisturized. Stay positive and cherish these changes!
My mother suggested using traditional coconut oil, but I also started applying Bio-Oil from my second trimester as my doctor said it is safe and highly moisturizing.
I am in my 5th month now and my skin is starting to feel very itchy and dry. I'm thinking of starting Bio-Oil this week. Did anyone else start using it around this time, and does it actually prevent stretch marks?
Dekho, marks toh skin stretch hone se aate hi hain, but starting Bio-Oil around the 12th week helps keep skin soft. Use it twice a day, especially after bathing, but don't expect magic.
My MIL told me that stretch marks are natural, but she was supportive when I bought Bio-Oil in my fourth month. It really helped reduce the belly itchiness when my bump started growing.
