    Hi,

    I've heard of coconut oil + turmeric doing wonders. Apply half hour before bath and then wash off.

    I used palmers cocoa butter. It was excellent and I had no stretch arms till delivery. However, I stopped using it once baby was born due to revised priorities. And when my tummy shrank, I got some funny marks which I hear could have been avoided by applying the cocoa butter for months after the birth too...

    have ve a safe delivery!

    Hi,

    I used Bio Oil and it worked really well. We can start using it as early as 3rd month to prevent Stretch marks. I got delivered one month back and happily do not have stretch marks now..:banana

    So one can go ahead and use it. Good Luck!!!:thumbsup

    i heard that vitamin e oil could lighten up stretch marks and also almond oil. if you cant find vit e oil, you can get vitamin e - evion capsules and break them and can apply over stretch marks, i think there are alot of e vitamin creams along with aloevera are available thesedays ..you can try any of them. as far as my knowledge , one cannot get rid of stretch marks completely, they'll only get lightened. stretch marks will be disappeared , when collagen is developed under the skin at that region
