Boots Mediterranean Massage Butter

Advantages: Non-greasy, long-lasting moisturise, lovely fragrance
Disadvantages: Tub instead of tube, retail outlet availability

...that this member of the Boots Mediterranean range can aid the minimisation of stretch marks, as I'm not pregnant myself, nor has my own Christmas indulgence put this to the test, but given the fact that my skin is definitely feeling softer and more supple, I would not be surprised if the body butter couldn't help on this score. Probably the biggest problem I've noticed is that the product is not widely available in Boots stores. In fact, I randomly ...

...when the get pregnant as its such a bargain price and a fantastic product. Forget all these expensive stretch mark creams, for £5 (and often on half price with boots advantage card vouchers) you can smell lovely and avoid stretch marks. A must for any pregnant mum to be. ... Read review
