Bath and Body Works Cocoa Butter Body Butter. A lot of stretch marks has to do with heredity. I never got any with my son, and I started the cream at about 3 months. It smells like cake frosting.

I used coco butter. As soon as you can. I used it twice a day and drink plenty of water. Water is good for your skin so that it can stretch properly. I would drink 2 gallons a day. I know that it sounds a lot but I have no stretch marks

I used palmers tummy butter (it comes in a round jar) and palmers cocoa butter for stretch marks (comes in a tube). I began using cocoa butter at 10 weeks but you can start even earlier if you choose. I have 0 on my stomach because I used it 2 times a day. However, I didn't put it on my butt, breasts, and inner thighs, so I ended up with stretchmarks on the sides of my butt.. So when you do apply it, put it on all of those areas. Good luck!

Shea butter is proven to help. And you should start using it right now. Many women use the shea butter around their eyes to stop wrinkles. I use it on my cuticles and feet for the dryness. It is a nut from Africa.
The best place I have found that sells 100% pure shea butter in a nice balm with a light fragrance (and its 100% natural!!) is www.nomenclaturebath.com
They also have a complete 100% natural baby product line called Baby'D Its amazing.
Look into their balms and such. And if you order, tell them Amber sent ya.

Vitamin E oil works very well. You should use it as soon as you find out that your are pregnant until after your milk supply is established. (your breasts will triple in size)
Your best bet will be your mom. Stretch marks tend to be hereditary. If you mother had them, there is a high probability that you will too no matter what you use.

nothing worked for me. it's all genetic. if your mom got them then you will probably get them too. its still good to use something, i have heard cocobutter is the best.
