My 3rd Trimester Stretch-mark Prevention Nighttime Routine

My third trimester evening belly care routine has become my favorite self-care ritual, combining unconventional product use with amazing results. I start with a generous layer of Bio Oil, massaging it in circular motions to boost circulation and help the nourishing oils penetrate deeply. Then comes my unconventional secret weapon—a collagen jelly face mask that I've repurposed entirely for my expanding belly! While the package was designed for facial use, I discovered the plentiful amount and skin-loving ingredients work wonders on my stretching abdominal skin. I smooth the cooling, gelatinous mask across my entire bump, embracing the slightly tacky texture as it creates an overnight moisture barrier. By morning, the mask has completely absorbed, leaving my skin noticeably more supple and hydrated. At 33 weeks pregnant, my dedication to this nighttime duo has paid off magnificently—despite my rapidly growing belly, I haven't developed a single stretch mark! This face-mask-turned-belly-treatment has been the unexpected hero of my pregnancy skincare, proving sometimes the best solutions come from thinking outside the conventional beauty box.
