I've started noticing some early stretch marks and bought a cream. Where exactly should I be applying the stretch mark cream during pregnancy to get the best results? Should I use it everywhere or only specific spots?
At my parents' house, mom used to tell me to apply it on the stomach and also the lower back and hips. I used to do it every night before sleeping, and my nani said olive oil also works nicely. Just apply with very soft hands, it feels so soothing.
My little one is running around now, but I still remember doing this daily. Put it on your stomach, sides, and even breasts as they also grow during this time. Honestly, some marks might still come because of genetics, so dont stress too much about getting them perfect.
Start with your entire bump, and definitely cover the hips and lower back area. I used to keep one bottle on my office desk and one on my nightstand so I never missed. Just buy a good fragrance-free one, it really helps with the stretching skin.
Apply it all over your belly, thighs, and sides yaar. I actually started using it from my second trimester itself because my skin felt so itchy. Just massage it gently after your bath, it actually works best then.
Uff, put it anywhere and everywhere u can reach! Stomach, thighs, even butt, because everything just expands. Right now I barely get time to wash my face with a newborn, but back then applying this cream was my main daily project haha.
