Bio oil is not working on my stretch marks! Any other tried and tested methods to get rid of my stripes?
I would like to recommend Mustela StretchMark Cream. I like the light smell and not very oily. Also, it is made of natural ingredients and doesn't contain chemicals (no parabens, phthalates, phenoxyethanol, bisphenols A and S, ca eine and alcohol). The main ingredient is Avocado peptides, which help to increase skin's elasticity. Also, it is safe to be used during breastfeeding. You can purchase it online here and it costs about $60 for 250ml. http://www.pupsikstudio.com/mustela-maternite-stretch-marks-prevention-cream-fragrance-free-250ml.html I used Clarins Oil during my first pregnancy, and Mustela for my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies. So far I do not have any stretchmark on my belly. The reason I switched to Mustela is partly because Clarins Oil is too oily for me. Some tips to share when applying any brand of stretchmark cream/oil: - apply right after shower so the skin can absorb it faster - apply in circular motion on the belly and gently massage it (not too hard) - apply on thighs too as the areas will get stretchmarks due to expansion.
Read moreYou can try coconut oil too, something not that expensive/high in commitment! I personally didn't have stretch marks until 32 weeks, and suddenly they started appearing ... One, two .. A few .. then suddenly one day it looked like a bear attacked me HAHA. Took me quite a while to be comfortable with it (photo attached is 11months postpartum) but I guess they're something like "battle scars"? Also, they fade away with time - so don't worry too much about them :)
Read moreSome of my friends tried Clarins Tonic Oil and found it effective for them. You could give it a try! You can also try making this DIY stretchmark cream. The author used it for both her pregnancies and did not have any stretchmarks (and she mentioned that she has had stretchmarks on her legs when she gained weight during her non pregnant period): http://thehealthyhoneys.com/diy-stretch-mark-cream/

Maybe try the Weleda Pregnancy Oil. It's primarily recommended for preventative stretch markcare, but since the act of massaging the skin can also improve existing stretch marks, this may be a good product for those with existing stretch marks. Ingredients include sweet almond, jojoba oil, and arnica. It is safe to use from the beginning of pregnancy, up to three months before giving birth.
