Moisturizing is great for your skin.  It can help with preventing and decreasing the appearance of stretch marks and also, improving skin elasticity.   A good skin moisturizer should be applied at least twice a day and when the skin feels itchy.  Cocoa and Shea butter are known for its benefits to help with stretch marks.  Please refer to cocoa and shea butter under the topic Butters.
