Hi all! I am Emily and now around 2 months pregnant. My friend told me that as early as now I should start working on not getting stretch marks. Then she told me something about cocoa butter? Can you help me with that? Thanks!
Yes! Cocoa butter helped me minimize the stretch marks on my stomach area. This is better than not applying it at all. True, you’ll get the marks but they will be almost invisible. Just apply the lotion on your tummy for around twice a day and that should do it. Now if you want to try something else, I heard that renova is also good for stretch marks and wrinkles. Ask your dermatologist about these products. They’re available in any local or online pharmacy out there. Hope this helps!
I started using cocoa butter lotions as soon as I found I was pregnant. You can find it anywhere. Store brands work just as well. There is also a brand name of cocoa butter cream... can't remember what it is... sorry! It's nice too.
I also think it depends on your skin type and how fast you gain weight. My sister's stomach is full of stretch marks and she used cocoa butter.
I still had 2 stretch marks on my hips about and inch long my last 2 weeks of my pregnancy... that's when the baby starts having rapid weight gain (and you too). I used a cream by Avon (in a silver tube) that worked to fade the darklines of those stretch marks... you can't barely see them now.
