Stretch Marks

[emmaedes]

Hello All

Hope I'm not repeating anyone's post but anyone have tried and tested results to make stretch marks less angry looking?!

Tried bio oil and coco butter and found it works quite well but just wondered if anyone else had any other products to share

When I had my son I got loads of stretch marks and my gran suggested sitting in the sun to fade them as they were quite red and angry looking. I didn't fancy the sitting out in the sun with them for all to see so I did a few sunbeds and they are more of a silvery colour and faded!! The are defiantly not a noticeble

What do you all think of Bio Oil? Does it work?

 

[emmaedes]

i think it does work yes - but i dont think it works any more than coco butter etc - think they are all very much the same

 

[Perpleo]

ive never actually tried bio oil
i did get the palmers equivelent and another version from the pound shop just to try and didnt really like them
i just hate the oily ness lol
i prefer using cocoa butter type things

I bought some raw coconut oil and have been using that, I really think it's making a difference, also you can use it on your hair and to cook, bonus

An old trick is to rub in baby oil BEFORE getting into a bath. Helps to condition the skin. You can also use olive oil.

My Mum used different moisturisers every single day from the day she found out she was pregnant with me. And she still got covered in angry red welts. Unfortunatley ladies its genetic - something to do with the elasticity of your skin.

The only thing thats ever worked for her (and that I do religiously now so I dont end up the same way when I have kids) - is dry body brushing, followed by moisturising with an intense oil, like vit E or rosehip.

Ah, I was wondering what to do with my leftover coconut oil since I started losing weight! I used to eat a lot of it, but since it no-longer suits the way I'm eating, I'll give it a go and see if my stretch marks improve

I have been using coconut oil and palmers firming cocoa butter and they seem to be doing the trick. Even my appendix scar looks better!

Speaking of coconut oil, I sometimes put a dollop of in the bath, which I find is great for softening the skin or use it as a hair mask

Another fan of Palmers Cocoa Butter, I think it works better than Bio Oil

I have had stretch marks on my tummy for a few years now but i've noticed over the past few months that they've started to turn a white colour, i don't or haven't ever applied any form of firming cream or any products to them at all. Anyone know what it could be? I tried googling it but can't get a definitive answer. X
