Everyone who finds out they're expecting looks for ways to prevent stretch marks in pregnancy, even celebrities.
The visible marks on skin are caused by the rapid growth during the nine months of waiting for your precious bundle to come along, but they can be helped.
The key is keeping the skin that is expanding properly hydrated, and it's a tactic that celebrities like Jessica Alba, Khloe Kardashian and Gwyneth all took during their own pregnancies with this particular oil.

The oil they lauded for helping them prevent stretch marks in pregnancy is a super skin Belly Oil from American brand, Hatch Collection.
The natural oil has a host of great skin-loving ingredients that work to supply long lasting hydration, calm and soothe, and keep skin supple.
It's pricey though, costing $58 per bottle, but when the celebrities talked about it such was the demand for it the oil sold out immediately, and a 1,000 strong waiting list formed.

You might be wondering what could be in this specific oil that works wonders on stretch marks?
Having looked at the ingredient list (and finding a similar pregnancy oil available in Ireland) we believe it's a super skin extract, Sweet Almond Oil.
The nutrient-rich oil has a high concentration of Vitamins, E in particular which is deeply soothing and healing for skin under pressure. And it's very in tune with our skin as it's very easily absorbed. This is how to use it.

Award winning Weleda Stretch Mark Oil (€21.99) is similar to the one favoured by those celebrities, it has a high dose of Sweet Almond Oil inside, along with protein-rich Wheat Germ Oil and instant skin soother Arnica.
While the ingredients are amazing for skin, you need to use the oil correctly for them to have an effect.
From early on in pregnancy (three months perhaps) it can be lightly massaged into skin up to three times daily on skin that's expanding.

That is the tummy naturally, but also the thighs, breasts and buttocks where stretch marks can occur.
Keep up the good work until a few months after baby is born to help skin shrink back naturally, hopefully without stretch marks.
And for your special bundle, Weleda also has a completely natural, award winning baby range you should check out, health stores and pharmacies.
Note- If breastfeeding use only approved beauty around the nipple area for this time.
