Stretch marks – not pretty, but pretty important
Growing a baby is not easy – the entire body has to prepare itself for nourishing and nurturing a tiny being. And the skin doesn’t escape undamaged. The intense stretching of the tissue causes small tears in the lower layers of the skin. Reddish blue streaks appear on the surface of the skin, showing the blood vessels below.
Changing and adapting: your skin during pregnancy. The fat cells and collagen fibres in the connective tissue lie parallel to each other in women, while in men they are more firmly connected. This is the only way to allow the abdomen to grow and give the baby enough space.
From a medical point of view, stretch marks are a type of scar. They often appear on the abdomen, thighs, hips or bottom. Weak connective tissue, hormonal changes and personal predisposition make stretch marks more likely. Stretch marks are actually signs that your body knows exactly what it needs to do. After all, during pregnancy, hormonal changes cause the connective tissue to loosen in order to help your body accommodate your growing baby.
A lot can be done to prevent stretch marks from appearing in the first place. Regular massages with our Anti Stretch Mark Oil or Anti Stretch Mark Cream improve the skin’s elasticity and increase its suppleness. Stretch marks can be avoided.
How to use
From the start of pregnancy, massage into the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and chest every morning and evening. Ideally combined with what is known as “skin rolling” to gently stretch the skin.
