I bought bio oil to prevent stretch marks but not sure from which month i should start using it. Im 4 months now, is it too early or right time? Pls tell when u started.
I started using it gently around my 12th week, once the first trimester was safely over. After IVF, I was very careful with what products I used, but Bio Oil is quite gentle. Just use a few drops on your damp skin after a bath.
You can start applying it from the second trimester. Since my skin got extra dry due to thyroid issues, I applied it twice a day. Make sure to discuss any skin changes with your doctor during your regular follow-ups.
I have heard from my friends that starting it in the second trimester is very helpful. They say keeping the skin moisturized early prevents the marks from getting deep. I hope this helps you!
Start using it before your belly decides to grow its own timezone, haha! Around the 14th week is great to get the skin prepared for all the stretching. Just don't expect it to erase everything, stretch marks are part of the journey!
You can start using it from the second trimester when the bump starts growing. Honestly, simple coconut oil also works the same way if Bio Oil feels too expensive. Just keep the skin moisturized daily.
Start using it as soon as your belly starts popping! With twins, my stomach expanded like a balloon, so I started applying it in my second trimester to prevent that extreme dryness and itching.
I am in my 3rd trimester now and practically bathing in Bio Oil because my skin is so dry and itchy! Start applying it around the 4th month before the stretching actually begins. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later.
