Olive oil helps prevent stretch marks during pregnancy, and it is recommended that pregnant women begin using it before stretch marks appear. Applying olive oil is simple: gently massage it onto the abdomen until fully absorbed by the skin. In addition to the abdomen, the buttocks should also be treated with olive oil; it is advisable to have a partner assist with application for optimal results.
