Tummy Moisturisers

What are all you girlies using?

I bought bio-oil today - stung me at £16 but hopefully it'll last for a while. You're supposed to apply it twice a day though! Tummy feels lovely after my bath this evening

Anyone use the Burt's Bees stuff? The packaging looked so cute, but I didn't know what it was like so opted for the other stuff

I have used Bio Oil since 1st tri, got some size of a bump on me now, and I have no stretch marks so far. have applied to all it says on the back and also the boobs!!!

I never realised how greasy it would be - do you use a lot or just a little bit?

With cream, I stick loads on, but I don't want to turn into a big grease-fest with this!

I love bio-oil too...I don't use too much, maybe like a dime-sized pool in the palm of my hand. As long as you don't use a whole lot and then rub your hands on your arms or legs then I usually don't even have to wash my hands. Plus it smells divine!

Woke up this morning and as I was rubbing in my bio oil, I thought, this stuff is expensive and a large bottle is only lasting me 3-4 weeks. So my question is, is Bio-oil any more effective than coco butter? I am sure cocoa butter would work out cheaper.

M&S sell cocoa butter body butter (same as Body Shop only cheaper) and it's 3 for 2 just now so 3 tubs costs just under £12. I bought lemon, pomegranate and cocoa butter flavours!

PS - jlon - what a cute doggie!

Sounds like good feedback on Bio oil. I don't think mine is going to last long if I use twice a day though!
Has anyone else found that cocoa butter also had positive results after the birth?
