How can pregnant women avoid stretch marks?

Many pregnant women gain too much weight during pregnancy and develop spotted stretch marks on their thighs. These stretch marks will slowly disappear and turn silver, causing women's skin to become loose and lose elasticity, making expectant mothers depressed due to stretch marks after pregnancy. Therefore, the editor here has collected some methods to improve stretch marks, hoping to help pregnant women with stretch marks and restore skin elasticity.

Before pregnancy, you should pay attention to physical exercise, do massage regularly, and insist on cold water baths to enhance skin elasticity. In this way, when the skin tension increases, the tensile strength of the skin's elastic fibers is greater and is not easy to break.

Before pregnancy, you should pay attention to nutrition and eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins. Good nutrition will improve skin elasticity.

When you are not pregnant, you can use some massage cream that can enhance skin elasticity for self-massage or go to a beauty salon for full body skin care.

Adhere to moderate exercise such as walking, and ensure a balanced and nutritious diet. Eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins, avoid excessive intake of carbohydrates, and avoid excessive intake of calories, which will lead to excessive weight gain. The shower water temperature should not be too high. You can use water that is slightly cooler than body temperature to rinse the abdomen, and gently massage the abdominal skin with a soft-bristled bath brush or a round-headed wooden brush to enhance skin elasticity. Once stretch marks are formed, it is unlikely that they will be completely eliminated, they can only be lightened. And fading stretch marks is also complicated. You can go to a beauty salon for weight loss and skin tightening treatments, or you can use certain brands of postpartum repair products to apply and massage on your own. But the results are not very good. Therefore, you should still pay attention during pregnancy, do moderate exercise, take cool showers, eat in moderation, have nutritious meals, and avoid being overweight.

Now that you have read the methods introduced above, you should not be so afraid of stretch marks. You can take a series of care measures before and after pregnancy to make your skin as smooth and elastic as before pregnancy. Therefore, the editor recommends that pregnant women should also move around, do not stay in bed all the time, and walk more, which is good for both the baby and yourself.
