i seriously think that a lot of the time if you are or aren’t going to get stretch marks it’s in your DNA. but i know using these things definitely helped my skin even if it was never going to get the same stretch marks someone else might get. and even if you do have then or are starting to get them i think these products will still help your skin!! but also a reminder that stretch marks are also beautiful & your body is amazing!! but so is healthy hydrated skin regardless of stretch marks or not. i also had some itching so these help with that too!
