Hello!(: I currently found out I was pregnant and I have the type of skin to get stretch marks easily. So does anyone know of a good oil or lotion? Actually anything that will prevent them? Thank you in advance  (:

Wow!! Congrats on the baby!! I've heard of a Korre's product that Angelina Jolie used when she was pregnant that apparently helped with her stretch marks.

I'm 7 months pregnant and I've got them on my boobs, I use Pregnacare stretch mark cream at the moment and bio oil - luckily I don't have any on my stomach as of yet

I've read that coco butter products work like any other moisturizer so basically any type will work as long as it has a mixture of emollients, humectants and such.
I personally have stretch marks and would use coco butter but I still got stretch marks on my hips.

I've read that stretch marks can be caused due to dehydration so you should be sure to drink plenty of water and not so much tea (which I drink a decent amount of) as they're diuretics and I believe coffee is the same.
Also exfoliation which helps promote collagen formation, more collagen= a less chance of stretch marks from what I've read but could be wrong.
And of course, moisturize. Even though coco butter didn't work for me, I used coco butter infused lotions and creams as well as raw coco butter mixed with liquid oils like olive oil etc.and whipped it.
The infused ones never felt moisturizing enough and the raw coco whipped coco butter I made just felt a tad greasy at times but also I didn't feel it was very moisturizing, kinda would just sit on top of the skin no matter how little I applied.

I do suggest the aveeno 24 hour moisture body lotions though. I do feel as though they're actually moisturizing and I don't have any greasy feel but my skin is definitely soft and moisturized. Doesn't feel dehydrated or anything. They're amazing, never had lotions that worked like the aveeno ones

When I had my first kid, I was really small up until 8 months like I looked like I was only 4 months pregnant then at the last month my baby grew like a lightning. I was like WHAT?! That caused the stretch marks that I couldn't prevent with anything. It was too quick at the end of of my pregnancy. I still have it now after 3 kids *sad right now I'm just using coconut oil/vitamin e oil just to somehow help heal it which I don't know will work lol. Reny, where do I get bio oil and what is it?

I forgot to mention alba a natural based products YouTuber, she suggests Shea butter mixed with unrefined coconut oil

Thanks Reny! I will try that if the Shea butter/coconut doesn't work lol! I'm one of those people that is just unfortunate with stretch marks haha! My mother though, doesn't have any. Why must it be this way? ;D.

I've been told that lemon juice it a great way to get rid of them. It takes agile but it does go away
