What are the ways to prevent stretch marks?

We all know that pregnant women will get stretch marks during pregnancy, which is very troublesome for some women who love beauty. In fact, we do have some preventive measures for stretch marks. Below we will introduce some specific measures to prevent stretch marks. I hope you will read it.

1. Take good care of your skin during pregnancy

Stretch marks are caused by the rupture of elastic fibers in the skin. Therefore, generally speaking, pregnant women with dry and inelastic skin are more likely to have stretch marks. As the skin becomes drier and more dehydrated in autumn and winter, the growth rate of stretch marks may accelerate. Therefore, pregnant mothers must take care of their skin. They can choose special skin care products for pregnant women that are suitable for their skin type from the early stages of pregnancy. In addition to the face, they should also pay attention to moisturizing care for the body skin.

Warm reminder: Generally, older pregnant mothers are more likely to develop stretch marks than younger pregnant mothers. Especially for women over 30 years old, their skin has begun to age and their skin elasticity has weakened. At this time, they should pay more attention to skin care.

2. Moderate local massage

Appropriate local massage is very effective in preventing stretch marks and can enhance skin elasticity. If used in conjunction with stretch mark protection products, it will not only make massage easier, but also moisturize the skin, increase elasticity, and relieve stretching. It is recommended that new mothers insist on massage during pregnancy to effectively prevent or fade stretch marks.

3. Eat a healthy diet to avoid excessive weight gain

Pregnant women should pay attention to scientific diet during pregnancy, ensure adequate nutrition, and avoid excessive nutrient intake. In addition to causing the fetus to be too large and unfavorable for delivery, excessive nutrient intake will also cause the pregnant woman's abdominal weight to increase rapidly, the skin to stretch rapidly, resulting in the breakage of skin tissue fibers, and the increase in the chance of stretch marks. Therefore, it is very important to control your weight during pregnancy.

4. Keep exercising to increase skin elasticity

Doing moderate exercise during pregnancy can not only help with natural childbirth in the future, but also increase skin elasticity. Studies have shown that people who like to exercise have better skin elasticity than those who don’t. After pregnancy, pregnant women can do more gentle exercises and take a walk with their family. This can not only keep them in a good mood but also allow them to exercise. It is best to walk for an hour. In addition, you can also practice prenatal yoga. Of course, this sport must be performed under the guidance of a coach. After the second trimester, pregnant mothers can go to the maternal and child health care hospital and do prenatal gymnastics under the guidance of a gynecologist.

Warm reminder: Do not engage in strenuous exercise during pregnancy, such as running, mountain climbing, etc. should be avoided as much as possible.
