Post-birth care

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend any really good lotions/potions for using on the stomach post birth? Anything to help reduce the stretch marks and maybe even help to tone it up a little? I've got some Palmers Stretch Mark Butter but am wondering if there's anything else any of you would recommend.

Thanks in advance! X

There's no cream that can tone it up, sorry! Any moisturiser will help stretch marks fade eventually, bio oil or similar can be very good.

Only exercise will tone you up again.

I don't know about stretch marks, I didn't get any but I did use Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion throughout pregnancy. Stretch marks fade but obviously show up more on a darker skin.
