What are the best ways to prevent stretch marks?

Stretch marks are a phenomenon that most women hate very much. Stretch marks mainly grow on women's bellies. It is a phenomenon that the abdominal muscle fibers are broken due to the gradual growth of the female fetus. This phenomenon does not harm women, but the lines it produces are very ugly, making the female belly look very scary. Therefore, stretch marks are the phenomenon that women are most reluctant to see. The most effective way to prevent stretch marks is before pregnancy. Let’s take a look at the better methods for preventing stretch marks. I hope women can understand more.

1. Enhance skin elasticity

During pregnancy, you should avoid consuming too much sweets and fried foods. You should consume a balanced diet to improve skin texture and help enhance skin elasticity.

2. Control weight gain

Your weight will increase during pregnancy, but it should not exceed 2 kg per month and should be controlled within 11-14 kg throughout the pregnancy.

3. Use stretch mark protection cream

Start using stretch mark protection cream that contains all the vitamins your skin needs in the early stages of pregnancy.

Using it in the early stages of pregnancy can enhance skin elasticity, allowing the skin to fully adapt to body shape changes during pregnancy, and prevent subcutaneous fibers from breaking due to excessive stretching, thereby effectively reducing the appearance of stretch marks. This can activate fibroblasts and regenerate broken fibrous tissue. Continuous use can gradually fade the color of stretch marks to normal skin color, and the unevenness will be significantly reduced until it disappears.

4. Moderate massage

Moderate massage combined with stretch mark protection products can promote the division and growth of epidermal cells, making the skin firm, elastic and not sagging. Effectively improve skin sagging and roughness during pregnancy.

Performing local massage can increase skin elasticity, making massage easier and keeping the skin moisturized by avoiding excessive pulling.

It is recommended that new mothers insist on abdominal massage from the third month of pregnancy to the three months after giving birth, which can effectively prevent the formation of stretch marks or fade the fine lines that have already formed.
