Chrissy Teigen is one of the most well-liked models in Hollywood simply because she's real. She doesn't hold anything back, she is down to earth, and her lack of filter is absolutely hysterical. When she and her husband John Legend, who are the definition of "relationship goals," announced that they were expecting their first child, the Internet went nuts over the thought of these two bringing an adorable little baby into the world.
From the very first baby bump photo, fans were already hooked on her pregnancy style. Over the past few months, she's been glowing and looking happier than ever. As someone who has been very open with her followers about having stretch marks, and the fact that she's just like everyone else, despite her celebrity status, she knew that more would come with a growing baby bump. Luckily, she's found a miracle product that actually works.
"I come from a stretch mark-prone family-I have them all over my butt and inner thighs. Luckily, I'm with a man who could not care less about them or else I would be insecure, but during my pregnancy, it was my belly I was scared of," the 30-year-old model told Allure. "I knew I'd have to do something about it before I started seeing them. La Mer The Concentrate saved my life. I'm constantly 25 minutes late to everything because my lotion regimen is that long. I put it everywhere."
The product is pricey, as it will cost you $340 for a 1 oz. bottle or $440 for a 1.7 oz. bottle, and Teigen understands that this might not be a realistic purchase for a lot of expecting mothers, but she still swears by it because it's something that she's seen results from. It's also important for pregnant women to understand that moisturizing with any product is a key factor in preventing those dreaded stretch marks, so there are definitely some cheaper options out there, although they might not be as effective as her personal choice.
Teigen took to social media last April to share a photo of the bruises and "stretchies" on her legs, which is something you don't see celebrities, especially models, doing very often. Followers loved how powerful this simple post was and praised her with positive comments for not trying to hide them.
"I was actually just taking a picture of the bruises and then I saw the stretch marks in there," Teigen said at the time. "I have those apps, the Facetune and Photoshopping ones, and I just didn't feel like doing it anymore-and I'm never doing it again, because I think we forget what normal people look like now. I mean, people are nip-tucking [their photos]. It's gotten to the point where they're not smoothing their skin anymore, they are actually changing the shape of their body and everybody else. Nobody can compare to that when you're fixing yourself so much. It's so unfair. It started with Botox and everything, of course, but now it's just grown into this Photoshop phenomenon and I've seen these women in person, they are not like that. Please know that."
