Lola's slimming and pregnancy diary

Right I need some help/advice. I am absolutely ecstatic that I have lost the weight I have lost so far, literally over the moon! But I am having one problem, because I've lost it quite quickly... I'm getting alot of stretch marks all over me (more so on my legs and belly) I had them on my belly anyway, but now they're stretching around my hips 
I can deal with them on my tummy as I never have it out anyway and I can buy a bikini that covers to above my belly button, but my legs are my main concern.
I have tried Palmers body butter and bio oil in the past and they haven't worked for me. I know they're hard to get rid of, but they're getting worse with the more weight I lose It's really getting me down
Ive searched the internet and all I'm getting is surgery which I obviously would never be able to afford.

I got told the more you moisturise the better they get, I also have them and am bound to get more as I lose more weight so I am using Nivea in shower wash and then have a body lotion that I use as often as I have time too, I also use Nivea oil once every week or so that makes my skin feel lovely x
Is that their firming oil? xx
I've ordered an Opal London body brush to tackle my cellulite, I do have a body brush but it's years old and the bristles are very weak. Been reading up on how to body brush properly, also seen loads of before/after pictures and I can't believe something so simple can make such a difference! I'm not expecting a miracle but even a slight reduction is better than nothing right now
Also bought some Nivea oil (Thanks BinkyBonk!!) which was half price in Boots
