Bio oil
Tolotolo | 10/15/2012 5:35:14 PM
Based on my OWN personal experience,I would also add bio oil to the list. Am a mother of one,noticed the stretch marks in my third trimester and immediately started using bio oil,after i gave birth and well after 3 months.Trust me,am stretch mark free now.

Note,this is based on my OWN personal experience,it does work but might take longer and more frequent use based on skin composition/texture.

p.s I wasnt paid to do this ad,just a nice product i can recommend to anyone.Not sure its naija n if it is,might not be exactly cheap but can be found in boots,superdrug,sainsburys or the likes.

some creams/ oils depend on your skin, i have tried bio oil for over a year now but it did not help, except for smoothing my skin, i also used olive oil but again i havent seen any changes except again for a smooth skin, now im using Seaverah, hope this one will help lol since its so expensive.

I have quit bad strech marks on my bum and hips after giving birth she is only 9week old and I have hurd it is easyer to work on them sooner rather then later I used bio oil through pregnancy didn't help! And now I have just recently started using coco butter they are not as purple but a dark pink and advise on aa cream that actually gets rid of them as they have knocked my confidence so much and I am forever pulling on my top so no one seens my hips!
