Stretch Mark Prevention

[XXforhubby]

Hey ladies, what have you used, or what are you using, to prevent stretch marks? I don't have any after two boys, and I would like to keep it that way !

I can't find what I used with DS1 anymore, and I don't want to use Palmers again (although it worked) like I did with DS2.

Thanks ladies!!

I think it's mostly genetic....so probably you don't have much to worry about. But it certainly couldn't hurt to use a good quality moisturizer. I would make you one & send it to you if I were in the US. Or if you're interested I can send you my recipe and you can make it yourself. It's very easy and much better than nearly anything you can buy, no cheap fillers, all quality ingredients.

I also recommend minimizing weight gain if possible, since rapid weight gain & loss are most likely to cause stretch marks. Especially rapid and extreme changes in weight.

Staying well hydrated and eating a diet rich in good fats (mounsaturated, saturated, and omega 3s) will help your skin overall, too. As well as plenty of sleep.

LUCKY!

If you haven't gotten stretchmarks, the odds are good you're not going to (also, I hate you. ). Stretchmarks are, sadly for me, genetic and while people will tell you they didn't get them because they smeared themselves with goop, it is a genetic thing and nothing to do with lotions or potions. Scientists have discovered 4 genes that seem to be related to the development of stretchmarks. :/

I already have them even with lotions and oils but i do use burts bees mamas belly or something named like that. It feels good and keeps your skin soft. I also use an organic honey and coconut oil body butter for the rest of all over.
