Sponsored Post: Palmer's Stretch Mark Cream PLUS a Giveaway!

I didn't realised it was that bad until I've given birth and noticed it, a few months later.

Yes.

Stretch marks.

I mean I did diligently apply stretch mark cream that was recommended by my gynae, but I naively only applied it onto my tummy and neglected my posterior aka backside. It didn't dawn on me that my bum will stretch too because I couldn't possibly get that big, right?

Wrong.

I did got big all over and now I have the evidence to prove it.

My stretch marks looked red and angry and made my bum looked like they've been caned with a whip. But subsequently, they faded to light grey stripes which reminds me of tiger stripes.

So now that I've already stretch marked and pregnant again, I'm determined to minimise it. For a while, I was only using baby oil to help lubricate my skin, and just a few days back, I received some Palmer's stretch marks lotion to try it out!


As this was my first time trying Palmer's and only started for a few days, I can't for sure say my stretch marks has reduced although I did tempt fate and asked the husband if it did but he just rolled his eyes at me, heh!

Anyway here are my thoughts on it:

  • It is light and non-greasy
  • Smooth texture that applies evenly onto my skin
  • Absorbs well
  • It has a very mild and light cocoa scent that may or may not sit well with other pregnant mothers though given our heightened sense of smell now. I was quite conscious of it but gradually got used to it. 
I will be using it till I delivered, and hopefully by then my stretch marks will be reduced greatly and no new ones will appear!

And now for the giveaway!
