Avatar f tn My love is coconut oil. I put it in my bath and soak for 15 mins. That along with olive oil are great bases to lock in moisture which is what your skin needs to stretch without tearing/ ripping. Stretch marks are said to be genetic but I believe you can avoid them by drinking lots of water, lubricating your body daily, with healthy weight gain AND DONT SCRATCH. Good luck.
Avatar n tn I have many but faint stretch marks from first (various areas) I thought maybe my small build (110lbs)was culprit for most. Suggestions on best lotion cream oil to use during???
Avatar n tn Unfortunately stretch marks are hereditary so not much can be done to prevent them. I use coconut oil, a Shea butter and Curel depending what I have on hand. Most important, I think, is to keep your skin hydrated.
4447476 tn?1399396565 ve heard that your supposed to use extra virgin coconut oil. . I have just normal coconut oil. . Does it work the same? I haven't used it yet Cuz I wasnt too sure if it would work the same as extra virgin Coconut oil.
535822 tn?1443976780 At night you can try coconut oil or olive oil, but it's a bit heavy for day time use. These still allow your skin to breathe much better than the petroleum jelly will. If you're prone to acne, ditch the Vaseline for sure. If you only use the coconut oil for your skin at night and it doesn't bother your skin, still only apply lightly. The coconut oil at the discount supplement store that is used to cook with is the same one you would use for skin and hair applications.
Avatar n tn Also, for a body moisturiser I stand by a good organic coconut oil. Am in no doubt some specially formulated lotions help with scarring but they are also full of chemicals which I'd rather not risk absorbing into my body where baby's concerned... Have even replaced my usual aluminium filled chemical anti-perspirant with a natural rock salt alternative and daily shower(!) The coconut oil is not only soothing and prevents itching n dryness, but is vitamin rich for baby.
8101930 tn?1420001456 Vit E I've heard works well, coconut oil, I've not heard of the apricot oil but might have to try it since it sounds like it'd smell nice. I use cocoa butter now myself which is working nicely (I'm only 9 weeks but have stretch marks just from previous weight gain),but I don't like the smell at all. I've heard of several women using bio oil however I do know that Retain A is supposed to be a no no during pregnancy as far as acne medications go.
Avatar n tn ve been using coconut oil on my skin for a month now. My face is clear, a few of the scars have faded, and my stretch marks from my first two kids are no longer angry red. It has s ton of other health benefits including hormone regulating and healthier pregnancy. If your desperate do some research and give it a shot!
11641934 tn?1421954110 ve been getting rashes on my belly and boobs so I made a mixture of pure coconut oil, raw shea butter, vitamin e oil and palmers solid cocoa butter. Can I say BEST THING EVER!!?? Yes, best thing EVER!! The rash on my stomach has already gone away.
Avatar f tn Coconut oil. Get the tub just like coco butter but instead coconut oil and spread it on the stretch marks!
Avatar f tn Sweet, I'm thinking coconut oil would be a good all natural way to keep ur skin moisturized. Very cool bio oil replacement. I might just use that and shea butter and vitamin e and an expensive product as well and hope that the more I use the less likely the stretch marks cuz I'll stay hydrated and moisturized.. well see!
10943479 tn?1432725499 When I am itchy I put Vaseline on at the end of my shower while still in the shower. When you get out rub it in well and towel off.it really helps...
Avatar f tn Don't get coconut oil mixed with hemp. Buy pure fractionated coconut oil. Most health food stores have them.
Avatar f tn I bought some coconut oil yesterday after it being recommended for my cracking nipples. I bought a tub and it was liquid last night when I opened it and used it. I just went to use it tonight and it had turned to a gel! Is this normal?? Also, do I need to refrigerate it after opening it??
20873371 tn?1556032506 I'd like to know if the derivatives of coconut oil are okay for acne prone skin, if coconut oil itself is highly comedogenic. I have really oily skin aside from the very edges of my jaw. Would anyone happen to know?
Avatar f tn As soon as i found out i was pregnant i made a mixture of coconut oil, shea butter, almond oil, and vitamin E and i massage it on my tummy and thighs everyday. I'm now almost 32 weeks and NO stretch in sight.
Avatar n tn I have patch tested coconut oil on my skin many times with no reaction. When i put it in my hair as a conditioner or near my face, my eyes get sticky, and i get post nasal drip and feel like i have a bad cold. Is this an allergic reaction to coconut oil even though it does not effect my skin?
5650943 tn?1374112808 You should try coconut oil, lotions can cause your skin to actually need more, coconut oil is amaizing though!
Avatar n tn A friend of mine at work said his wife used coconut oil and my step mom used olive oil on herself. She has weird skin that scars weird, and got the marks, but my friends wife didn't. Keep hydrated and use a soap that has moisturizer in it (like Shea Butter or almond and milk extracts). I think that's what's actually doing the trick for me, since I use that lotion he got me very sparingly.
Avatar f tn I would love to have a little girl! I put lotion on my skin all day long and it doesn't help. I should look into some baby or coconut oil.
Avatar f tn Coconut oil and sweet almond oil. It's natural and full of nutrients very good for your skin. The idea is to increase the skin's elasticity as much as you can. Look into improving skin elasticity. I used Palmers religiously (3-5 times a day) for the first 3-4 months. I don't know if it has made any difference.. I stopped using it because I now try my best to use more natural unprocessed things for my skin. Also lotions with petroleums I avoid.
Avatar f tn My skin was extremely dry I tried coconut oil tummyy butter aveeno lotion and baby oil nothing helped so I started using something called "mothers friend" it works amazing got it from a local pharmacy but it can be ordered online and is only $8. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water also it helps. For my hair ive been using mane and tail horse shampoo.
Avatar f tn Organic coconut oil! One jar is $5 and it will last your whole pregnancy! Not one stretch mark on my body!
Avatar f tn Trader joes moisturizer, and coconut oil for hair it does wonders.
