Coca Butter...

I've been using cocoa butter recently, mainly because it smells divine - although John did say if he wanted to marry a travel operator, he would've done but also because the Vitamin E is supposed to really sort your skin out. I've been really blessed and not had any stretch marks on my tummy at all (yet!), just mainly on my upper thighs, which sucks. Still, small price to pay.

I have read, and been told by midwives, not to waste money on special lotions and the likes as experts believe stretch marks are hereditary and can't be avoided. However, I was using cocoa butter anyway because it left my skin feeling really smooth. I was blessed with lots of cocoa butter bits and bobs from my Mum and MumS (John's Mum!) for my birthday. My mum said she asked the shop assistant in the Body Shop what was best for stretch marks and was told if you combine BioOil and Cocoa Butter together, that does the trick. Who knew?! There's a beauty tip for free!
