Amazing Stuff. Absolute Maternity Necessity.
I discovered this shortly after learning I was pregnant. Bath and Body Works at our mall was consistently out of their cocoa butter stretch mark cream a friend had reccommended. So I was desperate to find a good affordable stretch mark preventative because my sister developed the worst stretch marks I've ever seen during her pregnancy and my mom has quite a lot of them too. I also have some leftover from puberty. I found this stuff online and it was very well reviewed and even used by some celebrities so I decided to give it a go. I also liked the fact that it is all natural sustainable and contained all the ingredients I'd ever heard of using for stretch mark prevention.
I used it every day during my pregnancy (starting at about 12 weeks) after showering and before bed until 3 weeks before my due date and did not get a single mark. The ones on my hips from my teen years pretty much disappeared too. And in addition I never had the slightest itchiness that most of my pregnant friends have complained about (another reviewer said it made her itch so I can only conclude she must be allergic to one of the ingredients). Then I ran out. The store where I've been buying it locally was out of it too. Since I was already so huge and hadn't gotten any stretch marks I decided to buy some of the Tummy Honey Cream which they still had in stock. I immediately noticed my skin was kind of itchy and got worse as it dried out and the day wore on. Then about a week after I stopped using the Tummy Honey Butter I got a stretch mark. It is not a really dreadful dark red or purple one but there it is in all its pinkish brown unsightliness. So of course I went back to the store to see if they had any of the butter yet if not to fix my new stretch mark then at least to soothe this infernal itchiness.
They don't. Which is why I've turned to Amazon to find some quick! Even if my due date is now only 4 days away I suspect it will help and may also fade the little stretch marks starting to show up on my breasts. This stuff is mandatory. I think I'll buy a case next time I find out I'm pregnant so I don't run out. If I have extra it'll make a nice baby shower gift for someone.More detail ...
