A major beauty fact which many women worry during their Pregnancy is Stretch Marks. Obviously,
Pregnancy Stretches our belly's skin, breasts
& thighs. Except Stretch Marks most of the skin conditions seen
in pregnancy will disappear after delivering our cutie to this world.
Human
Skin will not bounce back to its original state if its been overly
stretched, Instead it decorates itself by the form of scary Stretch
Marks. It often starts looking reddish / purplish / brownish
depending on the skin tone and then become glossy, then to be
streaked in silver or white.
This
happens mainly due to marks occur in the dermis, the elastic middle
layer of skin that allows it to retain its shape. When constantly
stretched, the dermis can break down, leaving stretch marks.
Though
we can't avoid these, it's best to treat them as early as possible
when they start showing up. It's very
crucial to moisturize
hence our skin becomes more supple and better able to stretch when
it's well hydrated.
So,
- Start Moisturizing 3 or 4 times a day
- Use products with cocoa butter as a main ingredient
- Drink enough fluids to hydrate both internal & external body
- Wheat germ oil helps in early-stage
- Over-the-counter treatments are available, but are usually of little benefit
- Many women swear Vitamin oil or Cream does little to prevent
- Stretch Marks are not harmful to health but prevention is better than cure
So
start moisturizing before your bump starts to show as this will
strengthen the skin to hopefully prevent permanent scarring. I have started moisturizing have you??????
