Clarins Tonic body treatment oil

[April241]

Has anyone tried this post baby? Currently 34 weeks with twins and my lower tum is covered is large angry (and very itchy) stretchmarks. Been looking into oils and creams I can use afterwards to help reduce the marking as while I'm not overly bothered by it, it would be nice if I could help fade them a little. Also hoping it might help with firming as I'm sure I'm going to have quite a saggy tum afterwards.

Have used lots of Clarins facial skincare and makeup before and always loved their products but never tried body products.

I've not used it but I'd recommend moisturising regularly with an oil type moisturiser as it's the best was to combat the itching. I only got a couple of marks with my dd after she went over due and they faded really quickly and I can't see them now. I used bio oil. This time around I've been using Johnsons on wet skin straight out of the shower. If you choose to breastfeed you will find that helps. As I was feeding dd I could feel my tummy contracting back. You skin will feel really weird immediately post birth. I remember watching the midwife palmate my uterus to check all was OK and it was so squidgy her hand was practically enveloped! It doesn't last though. A few weeks after giving birth you wouldn't have known I'd been pregnant and my tummy looked normal. When I say normal - I mean like it did before: more like the women in a Renaissance painting than a celebrity new mum. I've never been a honed and toned kinda girl! More slim and curvy. Good luck with your twins x

Palpate^ no idea what palmate is!

Thanks Whats. I tried bio oil in the second trimester and ended up with an awful rash so I stopped but I'll look into other oils, will need to figure out what ingredient caused the rash actually incase it happens again. I was a size 12 pre-pregnancy and always had a bit of a podgy tum so if it goes back to that I'll be happy :)

Decleor Prolagene is very good
