Olive oil can prevent stretch marks

When a pregnant woman's belly begins to grow, she can start rubbing her belly with olive oil. Persistent use can help prevent stretch marks. However, the severity of stretch marks varies from person to person. Some people may still develop stretch marks even after using olive oil due to their skin condition.

Does the combination of the two have the effect of removing stretch marks?

The formation of stretch marks is mainly due to the influence of hormones during pregnancy. In addition, the distending abdomen causes the elastic fibers and collagen fibers of the skin to be damaged or broken, and the abdominal skin becomes thinner and finer, resulting in some pink or purple wavy patterns of varying widths and lengths. After delivery, these patterns will gradually disappear, leaving behind white or silvery shiny scar lines, also known as stretch marks.

(1) A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals should be supplemented during pregnancy. Since collagen fibers themselves are made of protein, you can consume more protein-rich foods. Avoid foods that are too oily, sweet, or salty.

(2) Weight gain: The amount of weight gain during pregnancy should not exceed 2 kg per month and should be controlled within 11 to 14 kg throughout the pregnancy.

(3) Using a belly support belt can bear the gravity burden of the abdomen and reduce excessive stretching and pulling of the skin.

(4) Pay attention to physical exercise and insist on cold water baths to enhance skin elasticity.

Controlling weight and maintaining a balanced diet can reduce the severity of stretch marks. The application of abdominal skin care products is also important. Skin care products can be oily or cream products specially designed for stretch marks, or they can be olive oil, etc. Abdominal skin care products should be applied every day and massaged moderately.
