Preparing for stretch marks..

So, I haven't noticed any new ones yet, but I have some on my butt and hips from my massive growth spurt my freshman year of highschool, so I know they're coming.  My mom doesn't have a single one, so I'm feeling pretty bummed that I didn't inherit her elastic skin.  I was just wondering if anyone else is starting to prep their skin and what they're using.. I've started using plain jojoba oil after my showers and I have to say, my skin looks fabulous.  I've been trying to avoid too many chemicals, so I opted out of some of the commercial brands of lotion in favor of straight oil.  I'm actually thinking of making my own mix with jojoba, sunflower oil, vit e oil and almond oil infused with a pregnancy safe herb.. Maybe lavender? Or orange peel?  My goal is to convince DH to heat it up and give me massages with it.. Hehe..
