    Have you ever checked your blood sugar chick? Deffo avoid the expensive oils for stretch marks. Most moisturisers will do the trick because its the massaging motion that helps the marks to fade. That's why bio oil is soo thick, you really have to massage it in to get it to sink into the skin. Xx
