As I’m sure it’s the case for a lot of pregnant women, stretch marks are a real worry for me when I’m pregnant. Luckily after my pregnancy with Lamb, I only got stretch marks in places that didn’t bother me. For example , the backs of my thighs and my sides. After a couple of years the ones of my sides faded and to be honest I have no idea what the ones on the back of my legs are like – I can’t see them!
During my second pregnancy I made sure I kept on top of moisturising my skin and keeping it hydrated. This time round I don’t think I got any new stretch marks, just the old ones got a little worse (they had faded pretty well from my first pregnancy).
Science of Skin got in touch and asked if I wanted to try out their brand new stretch mark creams. I received their Stretch Mark Defence and Solution for Stretch Marks.

I was really happy with both of these creams and found them to be really hydrating. At first they felt quite wet when I was rubbing into the skin, which is something I dislike about moisturisers etc, however both creams rubbed in really well and felt really nourishing.
As this was my second pregnancy, I already had stretch marks from my first pregnancy, so obviously I wasn’t going to be scar free by 9 months, however I don’t think my marks were any worse.
After using the Stretch Mark Defence for a few weeks I really thought my skin felt soft and healthy. Now I’ve had my baby I’ve moved on to using the Solution for Stretch Marks and although I don’t think it will get rid of my stretch marks entirely, I’m hoping they will fade like they did after my first pregnancy.
