Any recommendations? Skin is dry but not sure if there's a specific cream oil that i can use to also help stretch marks

I personally like aveeno for general moisturising and relief from itchy stretching skin, but stretch marks are genetic so no matter what you use nothing will prevent it if you get them.

Just some soothing relief x

My budget spend is either Lidl own brand moisturising lotion, or supermarket own brand emollient cream. Cocoa butter smells delicious and isn't too greasy, and people swear it prevents stretch marks. And if you like sandalwood there's a lovely cream called Ayumi Naturals, which is a bit spendy at £8 but the scent is concentrated.

Interested in this thread?

I used coconut oil every night on my belly and don't have any stretch marks, despite my belly having stretched out a lot to accommodate a big baby!
