What to do if you have stretch marks after giving birth

Carrying a baby is a woman's mission, but many mothers develop stretch marks after giving birth. What causes this situation? What should you do if you develop stretch marks after giving birth? I think this must be an issue that many female friends are very concerned about. Today I will introduce you to this aspect. Friends in need can take a look.

Stretch marks are a type of stretch marks. Stretch marks are caused by the breakage of skin fibers during pregnancy, fitness, and sudden weight gain, and appear as red, white, or purple stripes. It also includes stretch marks, sports cracks, and parts of the body with a large range of motion, including the inner and outer thighs, knees, buttocks, lumbar spine, etc. in addition to the abdomen.

Stretch marks are really unsightly, and as a beauty-conscious person like me, I cannot tolerate them. So I looked everywhere for ways to avoid stretch marks. I finally found it. It's very simple. First, control your weight and maintain a balanced diet. Many experts have good suggestions on this. Second, insist on using skin care products to massage your belly.

The skin care products here can be oily or cream products specially designed for stretch marks, or olive oil, or diluted VE oil. It is best not to use essential oils.

1. When using, make sure the amount is sufficient. Just think about it, if you don’t apply moisturizer after taking a shower in winter, your skin will easily become dry and itchy. If you squat or stretch your skin, the itching will be even more unbearable. This is still normal skin type, it’s just because of dryness and lack of water that I have these feelings.

During pregnancy, the skin on the belly is stretched very far, so a larger amount of moisturizer is needed to keep the skin moisturized and enhance the skin's elasticity. Otherwise, the skin will first become itchy, and then the fibrous tissue and collagen fibers rich in the subcutaneous tissue will not be able to withstand the expansion and will easily break, resulting in stretch marks.

Therefore, it is best to apply stretch mark cream two or three times to ensure that the skin absorbs enough nutrients so that the skin can withstand stretching. I have seen some pregnant mothers say that they used it but the effect was not obvious. It is best to check whether they used too little.

2. It is important to apply the product regularly. Persistence is one of the necessary conditions for success in anything, and the same is true for dealing with stretch marks. If you just apply enough each time but don't persist, the effect will not be good. Nowadays, many pregnant mothers buy products to prevent stretch marks, but few of them stick to it. They often put them aside after applying them a few times because they think it’s troublesome. In the end, the money was spent, but there was no effect.

Both exercise-based prenatal education and applying stretch mark cream require massage, so doing them together can kill two birds with one stone.

Before going to bed every night, lie on your back on the bed, put massage oil on your hands, then hold the fetus and slowly massage it 10 times from top to bottom and from left to right. At the beginning, do it at most 3 times a week. After a month, start to do it every day, with each time lasting 5-10 minutes.

Some introductions say that the skin's vitality reaches its peak between 8:00 and 12:00 in the morning, and this is the most suitable time for stretch mark prevention care. However, modern medicine has also proven that the regeneration and metabolic capacity of skin cells at night is 2-3 times that of the daytime. The metabolic function is more active from 10 pm to 2 am. Skin care at this time can improve the skin's nutrient absorption function. Therefore, skin care and massage before going to bed to prevent stretch marks is also a good choice.
