Belly care

Hi! What do you all use for belly care to keep the skin supple, etc.? I've read that you can't start too early, but I'm not sure what to use.

    I use Switzal Mama or Kruidvat brand Mama!!...it's not said and proven that it really helps, but it can at least make it less.
    I haven't had any issues with it yet and have been using it from the start, did it at the 1st and now again!!

    I also use Zwitsal Mama, but in the evening I always apply regular almond oil. My mom used to use it back in the day, and according to the pharmacist, it’s really good for keeping the skin supple. It’s a bit greasier, though, which is why I only use it at night.

    I always find oil the nicest to apply. There are different brands specifically for pregnant women.

    I use regular almond oil.
    But honestly, I forget to apply it more often than I actually do...

    Thanks for the tips, girls! I'll go check things out tomorrow.

    I use all sorts of stuff... once a jar is empty, I check out the store again because everything smells so nice, hehe. But right now I'm using a German brand... really soft cream... my friend advised me to smear it on... she smeared herself throughout the whole pregnancy except for the last two weeks... and yes, exactly in those weeks she got stretch marks around her belly button... so I smear myself every evening... I used to do that too because my skin gets dry quickly. So I always smear my whole body... belly, buttocks, upper legs, and now I smear my breasts with special cream and the rest with body lotion... I also use oil a few times a week for my skin... it makes my skin so soft.

    I use St. John's Wort oil from A. Vogel. It's a natural remedy without any chemical additives. The great thing is that St. John's Wort oil doesn't stick.

    I don't use any special 'mommy or belly oil'. I use Zwitsal oil with added almond oil. Smells lovely, spreads nicely, and doesn't stick. I don't apply it consistently, but honestly, the idea is nice

    When did you start applying it?

    I think you can use anything as long as it keeps your skin well-moisturized and supple.
    It certainly can't hurt to start using it from the beginning.

    I use the Etos Mama cream. And then I do a good scrub once a week... that's also important. And it's also great for the itching

    I’ve got the cream for your belly from Zweisal now, smells lovely! And it feels great to apply.
