When it comes to stretch marks, especially during and after pregnancy, advice is everywhere but how much of it is actually true? Many women are left confused, disappointed, or chasing expensive treatments when natural, gentle care might be exactly what their skin needs. Let's debunk some common myths and explore how a nourishing belly oil can support your skin’s natural healing journey.
The first and most common myth is that once stretch marks appear, there's nothing you can do. In truth, while they may never fully vanish, the right kind of consistent care can visibly reduce their appearance, improve skin tone, and support smoother texture over time. Healing is possible not instant, but real.
Another myth is that only high-end treatments or chemical solutions deliver results. But some of the most effective remedies come from generations of women who used plant-based oils and daily rituals to keep their skin soft, resilient, and radiant. You don’t need a luxury clinic, just the right daily routine.
Many also believe that using oils will leave their skin greasy and uncomfortable. The reality is that not all oils are the same. Some are crafted to absorb quickly, leaving your skin moisturised without residue, perfect for busy mornings or quiet nights.
Perhaps the most damaging myth? Those stretch marks are a sign of not taking care of yourself. That’s not true. Stretch marks are a natural part of growth, change, and the creation of life. Caring for them isn't about “fixing” your body, it's about honouring it.
Even the sensory experience matters. A soft scent and a calming feel - your skincare ritual should be something you look forward to, not just a step in your routine.
In the end, it’s not about perfection. It’s about connection to your body, your story, and your healing. Trust the process. Trust yourself.
