Burt's Bees Belly Balm?

cndmexbaby · June 2010

Is anyone using Burt's Bees Belly Balm? I know stretch marks are genetic and all that but I figure it can't hurt to keep the belly moisturized. I just heard about this balm and I am wondering if I should get it or not.

I am also looking at Bio Oil but it seems like I should buy it after the dreaded stretchies appear since it reduces the appearance and not prevents.

I use both (Mama Bee oil and Belly Balm.) I put the oil on after I shower and use the balm if my belly feels itchy/dry. (For touch ups, if you will.) I also use the balm on my hands and elbows...heh

I use Bio Oil every night and use a lotion in the morning after the shower. I'm with you, figure trying anything can't hurt. The bio oil container does say it helps with prevention as well (says to use from 1st trimester through end of pregnancy). I guess we will see lol. Good luck.

I used it and didnt get a single stretchie until 37 weeks, then they popped up here and there. You cant prevent, but it doesnt hurt. It certainly made my tummy feel smooth.
