Not being consistent with types of lotion? Anyone else?
what I mean is....I love shea butter as body lotion, to help "prevent"...if there is such a thing....stretch marks, but then another week, I'm loving some oil blend for pregnancy someone bought me. Then I'm back to baby oil or cocoa butter. I'm not consistent with WHAT I'm applying! Does this matter, or does it matter that I'm actually using something to keep skin moist? I've received such nice little kits as gifts and I'm all over the place.

I dont think it matters- just stay hydrated and keep using some kind of cream

I don't think there's really any magic prevention or cure in a bottle. I think it's just important to keep your skin hydrated, so really any good moisturizer should do the trick.
I've also read that boosting your intake of omega fatty acids (from foods) might help with prevention, but again, I think it all comes down to just keeping your skin healthy.

yeah....my mom did not have them, but my cousin did. both women are very thin. i have this feeling i will get them, only because i do have a few from a growth spurt as a teen. right on my thigh. then again, not sure i was so good about moisture as a younger person so you never know. i do enjoy slathering lotions and potions on b/c i'm a product junkie!

im not really consistent. i have gone thru pahses of cooca butter, bio oil, mustela, jergens, etc. my nightstand looks ridiculos.
the one thing that i do swear by is baby oil. while still standing wet from the shower i slather it EVERYWHERE and gently rub it in. than i just pat it off. as soon as i started doing this - all the itchy belly & boobs i had experienced went away. this is the one practice ive done consistently.
