Have those stretchmarks left a mark on your confidence?
I gained weight a little too fast in the past few months adding stretchmarks on top of the already stretchmarks from my pregnancy. I know I should love my pregnancy marks but I feel so yuck about them. Sadly I kept lotion and creams on hoping to prevent stretch marks, they didn’t work of course.
I figured this stretch mark oil by Phytopia would be a good try. I saw some progress with their other products so I was pretty optimistic about this one. I love their packaging, the bottle comes safely packaged in a nice velvet like bag with a cute ribbon tie, it just looks so fancy. ;) This oil is also 100% Organic and therapeutic grade which is great knowing that what I am massaging into my body is not full of all those harsh chemicals. This also means less reactions to those with sensitive skin, like myself. It is pretty easy to use, you just apply to your skin and massage into your skin. *DO NOT INTAKE THIS!*
With this being an oil I feared that it would leave me feeling greasy just like some of those other creams out there except worse. Even though it is an oil, it goes on greasy but once you have you massaged it into your skin it does not feel greasy anymore. You can feel your skin feeling moisturized after massaging it even. Plus the smell is sooo good! It is like a floral smell, a calming smell which goes so perfectly when you are massaging it into your body.
Now let’s talk about some results! That is what you guys want anyways right? ;) I have not finished the bottle yet, so I know my results still have a ways to go. Which I am okay with because I have some deep large stretch marks. I am happy so far with the results I have been seeing, I did not just have them disappear over night, that is not possible, they did start to fade some though. I used this oil twice a day, in the morning and the evenings and since it does not leave the greasy feeling after this was easy to do. My stretch marks have lightened up and not so bright like they were before. I am hoping to continue with this oil with hopes that it will continue to do the same work. I know they may never completely go away, but a lighter look does make me feel a little better about myself or anyone seeing my tummy area.
This oil has been some help also to a scar that I have on my back. I had a mole removed when I was in high school and it left a 3-4 inch scar right in the middle of my back! I hate that it shows off so much and feel so embarrassed when wearing a tank top or any top with the back open.
This 50 mL bottle may seem small but a little bit can go a long way! This does not come out fast, it has a top to save you from wasting it. And again do NOT intake this, and make sure to keep it away from children!!! Some people need a little reminder.
