Stretch marks are caused by your skin stretching as you gain weight in pregnancy .Growing that fast can leave you with stretch marks.Usually appears on your belly,breasts,on the thighs,buttocks and upper arms.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Advanced Formula with Bio C-Elaste,it has vitamin E,collagen,elastin and shea butter to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks.I mostly apply on my belly and breast 2-3 times a day to improve my skin's elasticity and suppleness.You can purchase it at your nearest drug store or online.
Bio-Oil,helps improve the appearance of scars,Stretch Marks,uneven skin tone,ageing skin and dehydrated skin.Apply twice daily for a minimum of 3 months.During pregnancy apply daily from the start of the SECOND trimester(but I'm planning to use it after giving birth).
APPLY ORGANIC COCONUT OIL best NATURAL way to keep your skin moisturized! just massage coconut oil generously on your skin do this 2-3 times a day.To prevent stretch marks coconut oil can be used and it has no HARMFUL side effects!
