Top 3 products to prevent stretch marks
February 2, 2009
How can you prevent or minimize stretch marks during pregnancy? Find out our pick of the top 3 products that help keep your skin smooth and stretch-mark free during pregnancy.
Whereas no product can 100% guarantee you won’t get stretch marks, there are things you can do to minimize or even prevent them from forming. In fact, actress Brooke Burke recently revealed to CelebrityParents.com her secret to keep stretch marks at bay: “I rubbed oil into my hips, belly and breasts every day, twice a day. You can use shea butter, cocoa butter, almond oil, or any natural oil. It’s really essential.”
Here is our list of the top 3 products to prevent stretch marks:
Basq Resilient Body Oil ($38): This paraben and phthalate-free product contains a blend of essential oils, including hazelnut, rosehip and grapeweet, to increase skin elasticity and resiliency during pregnancy. The oil quickly abosorbs into your skin, leaving only a soft scent behind.
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula for Stretch Marks ($5.69): You don’t get fancy packaging or a blown-up price tag, but what you do get is a rich cream formulated with cocoa butter, collagen and elastin to help moisturize your skin and keep stretch marks at bay. On a personal note, I used this with both my pregnancies and do not have any stretch marks.
Mama Mio Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Butter ($35): If celebrities like Christina Aguilera and Jessica Alba, love it — then it must be good! This creamy skin butter contains Omega 3, 6 and 9 to help increase elasticity and ward off stretch marks. It also smells wonderful!
