When should i start using cocoa butter during pregnancy?
Im 14 weeks and my belly is just starting to show a little. Got a tub of cocoa butter from my sister but not sure if its too early to begin or should i wait till the bump grows more. When did u all start?
Actually you can start anytime yaar, even from early weeks no harm. I began around month 3. Just keep skin hydrated, cocoa butter or coconut oil dono chalega.
These cocoa butter creams are a bit pricey. I used plain coconut oil for half my pregnancy and switched to cocoa butter only later, worked same for me. Start whenever skin feels tight, dont overthink the brand.
No fixed rule beta. Most ladies start once the belly grows in 4th-5th month. Just do a small patch test first since skin gets sensitive in pregnancy, and keep it up daily, consistency matters more than start date.
Start from second trimester, around 12-14 weeks. Apply morning and night on tummy, hips and thighs. Genetics decide marks honestly but moisturising helps with the itching for sure.
I started around my 4th month when my tummy was just starting to show. Honestly it felt so relaxing to massage at night, my skin felt less itchy. Whatever you use, start early na, dont wait for the stretch marks to come first.
