Bio Oil or Palmers?? …

Hey ladies !

Got my op in just over 3 weeks and starting to prepare now..

I was just wondering which is better… Bio Oil or Palmers??

xx

I would like to know this too

And this may seem like a silly question…..but do u use lotion just on scars or all over boobies? And how soon after can u use them??

bio oil is just a rip off if u ask me!!!! coco butter is one of the best, or boots do a cocnut oil thats really goocd!!!! as long as u keep ur skin moisturised on a daily basis u shud be fine… and to be fair stretch marks are more genetic… some ppl are prone to them more than others when the skin stretches xxxx just grease urself up u will be fine hahaha oh and baby oils great and cheap xxx

ps ive not had boobs done but i was the size of an over due woman carrying twins when pregnant and i didnt get a single stretch mark… my secret??? coco butter, and coconut oil xxxx

im 2 weeks away from having my op and have just bought bio oil to start using everyday till my surgery (not 24 hours before op though or a week after) i’d use it all over as your skin is going to stretch. and using oil before hand will allow the skin to stretch easier.

Heya, I preferred Palmers to prevent stretch marks.I started using it 2 days post op (avoiding scars) and 6 weeks on have no stretch marks at all.

The oil seemed too messy for me but I think now my scars are healed I’m going to start using rescue oil (cheaper version of bio oil) on them to help fade them a bit!)

My nurse and surgeon told me that using oil/cream before the op won’t do anything except make ur skin soft. :S I guess there is no harm in trying it though.. I never bothered. xx

Just bought a bottle of Bio Oil and some Palmers Cocoa Butter for stretch marks.. Gonna start using it today I’ve heard that micing them both together works really well at fading stretch marks so I might try that on my hips later haha xx

I’m taking no chances and using my bio oil religiously as stretchmarks run in the family with us girls, and they are not nice!

I have a neurologist surgeon friend who absolutely insists that bio oil works wonders on scars, but have heard cocoa butter is v good too. vitamin E, good quality, is a really good idea tho, as the health of skin is largely to do with nutrients on the inside really. go for ‘nature’s own’, when it’s my turn I’ll be taking a high dose but i’m a health therapist so check with gp etc first and only take high dose for a month. xx
