How to prevent Stretchmarks??

[rhyza03]

my OB prescribed phytolastil, and so far okey naman sya..it's actually gel,kaya di mainit gamitin. I also use Clarins Tonic Body oil, and I swear by this product...aside from the wonderful smell, madali siyang ma-absorbed ng skin kaya hindi mainit, to think na oil siya,plus it really works...so far i am on my 6th month na, and sobrang laki ng tummy ko,as in pero wala stretchies..i also have the palmer's tummy butter pero mainit and masyadong smelly for me, kaya di ko ginagamit.
I also use Clarins anti-stretchmark lotion, and okey rin...fragrance-free pa at di rin greasy sa skin.

sis san ka nag buy ng clarins and if how much.? thanks

^They have 3 types of Body Treatment oil sis. These are Anti-Eau, Tonic, and Relax body oils. Tonic body oil is the one I am using although I also use Anti-Eau and Relax nung di ako buntis. Anti-Eau kasi is used to help you slim down,and prevent na rin cellulite,while relax is best for massages!
Try to combine the Tonic body oil with Clarins stretch mark control lotion,para makita mo talaga yung effect niya sa skin. You can use the Tonic oil and Stretch Matk Control Lotion kahit after giving birth kasi it really helps to make your skin elastic and it also comforts your skin since may "tight feeling/sensation" during pregnancy,and weight gain,kaya worthy investment na rin for our skin sis. =)

^ wow! thanks for the advice sis!   will get the others too. i've been using the tonic for a month and a half now. i'm on my 18th week.

[jacqdingle]

^you're welcome sis..goodluck! Remember depende pa rin sa skin type natin pero nakakatulong talaga if we will keep our skin well-moisturized! Have a safe pregnancy dear..=)

[ale1]

^ thanks sis. so far so good sana tuloy tuloy ito

i went to PCX 2weeks ago and found out na meron na chicco(maker's of baby stuff) na lotion for pregnant mothers to avoid stretch marks and dumami rin ang variants ng palmers. meron na sila yung may EVO.

when i got pregnant, i started putting TBS cocoa butter body butter on my tummy na kagad but I still prepared myself emotionally for stretchies. I'm currently at 21 weeks and just today i saw a couple of red stretchies on both sides of my torso, sa may hip area. Even if ive been expecting them, nakaka-sad pa din to see them. Imagine, I still have 4 months to go and baka mas dumami pa sila.

i think lotions help the skin to stretch but it doesnt totally eradicate stretchmarks talaga especially if your skin isnt that elastic. Konti lang talaga the people i know who've had kids but didnt have stretchmarks.

[mizteaza]

^ hereditary din talaga if it runs in the family mas prone to stretchmarks talaga.

[twelvth_goddess]

^onga eh, although my mom didnt have strectmarks with 5 kids..ewan ko ba, ganon talaga part of motherhood..cino-comfort nga ko ni hubby yesterday kase bigla ko naisip na hinde na ko makakapag-2 piece hehe

[kreez]

I used body shop body butter and palmers din from the start of pregnancy pero nagkaron pa rin ako ng stretch marks....

did you ask your mom ba sis kung ano ginawa niya or talagang swerte lang siya? grabe imagine 5 kids wala man lang stretchmarks. sana ganon din tayo. hehe.

[twelvth_goddess]

^naku sis wala syang nilagay or whatsoever kase syempre old times pa yon so mejo traditional sila. my lola told her lang daw not to scratch. eh kaso hinde naman sa pagkamot yon diba, it really depends sa elasticity ng skin. kaya mejo na-sad ako kase akala ko mase-save ako from the marks pero hinde pala

My mom had the 3 of us pero wala din siyang stretchmarks considering that she's not really tall 5' 3 1/2 and super laki siya magbuntis with all her 3 pregnancies people would always thought that she's having twins, she didn't put anything either, lucky her.

As for my case i'm 5'8" and super laki din ng tummy ko so far I used the ff. Body Shop Cocoa butter cream, Cocoa Butter Stick, Palmer's Stretchmark cream in Tube, MotherCare Stretchmark softening cream, Palmer's Tummy Butter, Palmer's Stretchmark Massage lotion, sadly i'm now stuck with my stretchies, but will see if it will lighten somehow after giving birth

My friend who just gave birth didnt have stretchies when she was pregnant pero nung nanganak daw sya saka naglabasan lahat.

[anneG]

@twelvth_goddess - it happens??!!! on noh! im on my 8th month na & still no stretchmarks on my tummy..sa butt madami but eversince naman kasi meron na ako sa butt..
At the start of my pregnancy I put palmer's right away then on my 2nd trimester I started to stop using it kasi naging itchy yung skin ko siguro dahil sa sobrang init nagiging greasy na..until now wala pang lumalabas sa tummy ko..sana wala na lang..ayun pa hindi super laki ng tummy ko.

[twelvth_goddess]

anneG - naku sana wag ka magka-strectchmarks. konti na lang pala, malalampasan mo na hehe..i dunno why pagkapanganak lumabas stretchies ng friend ko. super happy pa naman sya na wala talaga all throughout her pregnancy. she had pa a preggy pictorial from her 6th month til she gave birth.

Sabe nila pag may stretchies daw sa butt, it means na hinde ganon ka-elastic yung skin. Not sure if this applies to everyone. ako din I have some on my butt pero hinde sya reddish kagaya ng lumalabas sa gilid ng torso ko ngayon. im sorry and i know this is really just part of pregnancy talaga but they just look so revolting huhuhu...

[anneG]

@twelvth_goddess - yung sa butt area ko whitish..mabilis kasi ako mag loss & gain weight kaya nagkaganito yung skin ko. i wish wag na nga lumabas yung stretchmarks ko after giving birth, my mom doesn't have one..will have my preggy shoot on jun19

[twelvth_goddess]

^me din girl, white yung stretchmarks ko sa butt area kase drastic din ako pumayat and mag-gain. sad to say, reddish yung nasa hip area ko ngayon, kaloka..

go lang with the photoshoot anneG. buti na lang may isang pic pa ko na naka-2 piece na walang marks hehe.

you also need to hydrate well esply since mainit...or if you're always in an airconditioned room, kasi nakaka-dry yun... anything you put on your skin will amount to nothing if you're not well-hydrated from the inside

also... if you smoked/continue to smoke... mas malaki ang chance na mas madali kayo magka-stretch marks

oh and put on sunscreen too... although lately maulan na... but sun and elastin don't mix....
