I used Soft-E-Lotion when I was pregnant to help reduce stretch marks and pregnancy scars. It worked real well. I have read a lot about it on the web and I think the key is the high amounts of all natural vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) in the lotion. The best part is, it didn't cost me $135/6oz. bottle like StiVectin. My brother's wife got that when she was pregnant and it worked about as well as the Soft-E-Lotion, but of course was 8 times more expensive and had only 6 oz. not 8 oz. Take it for what its worth.
I have found that it's usually a matter of heredity. Your skin is either more or less elastic than other women, and it really depends on that to determine whether or not you'll get stretch marks. I used stretch mark cream religiously and still ended up with a belly that looked like a road map had been drawn on it. I am in very good shape and have great skin, but got them anyway.
Besides.... this threadd was started as nothing more than an advertisement. That alone would make me stay away from the website. I hate peddlers! lol
I think people who over eat to much because they are pregnant get more stretch marks i find healthy people who take care of them selves whilke pregnant don't get them as much and also a cheaper way is using "skin so soft" or baby oil.And Abbe just to be curious why are you always so negative i read alot of your comments and you always go against most of the articles.....there is a difference between being outspoken and argumentive
I heard that the Palmers or Balmers Cocoa Butter Lotion is good for you too. I don't know....I have been using baby lotion just for right now...I am only 10 weeks though.
I used a hand-made Mango body butter that i bought from the "Bondi markets" in Sydney, Australia for about AU$10 approx US$7.
So sorry but this aint no advert because I would have no idea how u would get it over there. But hell it worked a treat. And I was assured by the hippy chick selling it, that if i was so inclined it was natural ewnuf to eat!
