Sweet almond oil as a body oil

5 replies

Hello all

Just looking for anyones thoughts /suggestions on a body oil/ moisturiser etc to help avoid stretch marks as much as possible. I was recommended using sweet almond oil, but have read mixed things about its safety. Im looking for something that is cruelty free and as natural as possible (im 17 weeks pregnant).

Thanks x x

I alternated between bio oil and lush dream cream and didn't get any!

Any oil will make your skin feel supple; I would choose by scent and price ! I don't think it will help to avoid stretch marks though; that is the luck if the draw as far as I know .

I used almond oil every night on my first pregnancy and got no stretch marks at all. I am using it again this time so fingers crossed
