No not that I am pregnant again, but I was just sharing with my currrent pregancy friends, I might as well have a bog post about this.
About stretch marks, you’ll start noticing these beauty marks when you’re somewhere around 13 weeks to 21 weeks pregnant (think of them as modern art for your baby bump). Up to 90 percent of all expecting women get these pink, red, yellow, tan or sometimes purplish or brown streaks. You’ll most likely notice them across your belly, butt, thighs, hips or breasts.
Though stretch marks are usually genetic, there are a few ways to try to minimize their appearance:
– Moisturize
– Nourish your skin from the inside
– Watch the weight
Here are the stretch mark products that keep my skin hydrated during and post-pregnancy, unable to pick just one so here I go using different items:
Clarins Body Partner Stretch Mark Expert
This has been highly recommended by my girlfriend who has had three pregnancies, that’s why I have one in my handbag, have one at home, and by the end of my pregnancy I think I have used up 3 of these. It got It improves elasticity and helps minimize the look of stretch marks by visibly reducing them on four levels: length + width + depth + colour.
Clarins Body Treatment Oil-Tonic
This body oil made from 100% pure plant extracts, formulated with essential oils of rosemary, geranium and mint, helps to firm, tone and improve the elasticity of the skin, reducing the appearance of stretch marks. Hazelnut oil locks in moisture and leaves the skin satiny soft to the touch. Aromatic essences promote a sensation of utter well-being. Does not stain.
Caudalie Divine Oil
I used it on the face, hair as well as body. Divine Oil is a powerful blend of oils, including argan, grape-seed and sesame oil, that leaves skin feeling soft, nourished and restored.
Elemis Japanese camellia oil
Recommend by Victoria Beckham, that’s why I gave it a go during my pregnancy. A luxurious and lightweight oil rich in plant collagen designed to keep pregnant and postpartum skin moisturized and supple, helping to prevent and treat stretch marks.
Palmers Cocoa Butter Stretch Mark Cream
Is the cheapest out of all these guys so I put them on generously, I love the thick texture of it. Cocoa butter certainly won’t hurt, though no stretch mark cream is a miracle cure. If nothing else, moisturizing daily will help with the dryness and itchy skin associated with pregnancy
These are just my personal favorites during my pregnancy journey and am just sharing my thoughts and experiences with you all.
P.S. I have put up my coupon codes on wethrift to help you save more money.
