Forgive me, Style and Beauty, for I am a sinner. Despite the very best of intentions, I don’t take my makeup off at night, preferring to collapse straight into bed. I use dry shampoo. I have tons of hand creams but never seem to use them…
But do I really, really, need to be moisturising my stomach and thighs every day to prevent stretch marks? My DM has been saying from day one I should be applying olive oil or coconut oil (😳) daily, else I will be doomed to stretch marks which I shall rue forever. Is this true?
(See also, kegels I suppose, while not strictly style and beauty! Must I?!)

Do I *really* need to moisturise the bump daily to prevent stretch marks? 🤰🏼

It genuinely worked for me. I massaged with baby oil most days whilst in the bath. My babies were relatively small though. I have no stretch marks.
