Answer 2

iM YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND!!! LOL Im 24 and im 9 months pregnant with my 4rth Ive dona ALOT of research and pure products are the best!! lotions at the stores are only dilluted and full of ingredients that arent good for skin Whenever you buy a product make sure to look at the ingredients first example, if you want cocoa butter the only ingredient should be cocoa butter not water,mineral oil, stearic acid, cetyl alcohol etc....I have 2 great recipes for you and they are working great for me!! I didnt use anything (besides regular lotion) with my first 3 Big Mistake!! This time i did the research and my skin even at 9 months pregnant is glowing and smooth

My homemade recipes
1 cup olive oil
1 cup coconut oil
2 oz vitamin e oil (10-12 capsules)
6 vitamin a capsules
Heat on low to melt coconut oil and blend ingredients store in fridge (for lotion bar as it will harden) or in cupboard for your basic oil

6-8oz cocoa butter(this one is my fave)
6 oz almond oil
4 oz coconut oil
2 oz vitamin e oil
6 vitamin a capsules
Heat on low to melt coconut oil and cocoa butter blend ingredients store in fridge (for lotion bar as it will harden) or in cupboard for your basic oil

First i exfoliate (great for removing dead skin cells and rejuvinating skin) basically it wakes up your skin and prepares it to absorb moisture at its best Get a loofah and your bodywash of choice prefferably with exfoliating beads scrub in circular motions for a good 1-3 minutes than apply oil within 3 minutes of getting out of the shower its recommended to massage into skin so i spend about 3 minutes massaging into my skin

My old stretch marks from 5 years back are even improving!!
Ive only been doing this for 2 months now and my skin is smoother the redness is fading more everyday its said that it takes a good 6 months to heal but its definetly worth it and remember they are always going to be there but you can dramatically fade and heal them if you do this daily You shouldnt have a problem either since this is your first and your doing this early before the marks get older and more permanent I wish i would have!!! And use when pregnant again this will 100% prevent new marks

Here are some more recipes not my own but recommended

1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 Cup Aloe Vera Gel
- 10 Vitamin E Capsules, Drained
- 5 Vitamin A Capsules, Drained
Place in fridgerator and use twice or more a day. Rub into skin untill fully absorbed

4 teaspoons nescafe coffee, or brand you prefer
1 cup coconut oil
Brew coffee as you normally do.
Add the brewed coffee to the coconut oil.
Bring to a boil.
Remove from heat.
Allow to cool.
Rub this every night before going to sleep over your stretch marks.
This when done regularly will lighten the stretch marks and make them less visible.

Almond oil,jojoba oil,apricot-kernel oil,avocado oil,sweet almond oil,coconut oil,olive oil,emu oil,grapeseed oil,lavender oil,castor oil,lanoline oil

Vitamins A, C, E, and K Cocoa butter,shea butter

All of these are great for skin cocoa butter coconut oil shea butter almond oil olive oil and emu oil are the top oils i read about that were mostly recommended create your own mixture using these ingredients or use seperately I got my oils from vitaminlife.com best price for the most quantity that i could find anywhere its even cheaper to pay shippin and handling than buy from your local healthfood store well ill stop babbling email me for more questions if youd like keep in touch with your results too!! Good luck
