Every woman wants not only a strong family andhealthy children, but also wants to remain beautiful, no matter what. Pregnancy and childbirth often put this dream at risk, since hormonal imbalances and sudden weight gain have never been pretty. Women especially suffer from the appearance of stretch marks after childbirth. And who would like unsightly stripes scattered all over the body? Moreover, getting rid of them can be very, very difficult. As a rule, stretch mark cream is used for this purpose, which should be applied to the body not only during pregnancy, but also after childbirth. But not every woman knows which cream to use to prevent stretch marks. Therefore, we decided to dwell on this issue in more detail.

Timely treatment

Look at your mother and grandmother.If they have a lot of stretch marks on their body after giving birth, then you are likely to suffer the same fate. Therefore, a cream to increase skin elasticity is a must. Moreover, you need to start treatment in advance, and not from the moment the first signs of skin stretching appear. Many mothers neglect this rule, and then are surprised that the imported product does not help, and the crimson stripes continue to “decorate” their body. In fact, everything is simple. As in the proverb where a spoon is good for dinner, so it is here. It is easier to prevent a problem than to spend a lot of time and effort on eliminating it later. But let's not get distracted from the problem of stretch marks.

Right choice

Don't buy the first cream that comes your way.a tired pharmacist at the drugstore will advise. Also, you should not rely on the opinion of numerous friends who have already faced the need to combat stretch marks after giving birth. The best remedy for stretch marks will be prescribed to you by a doctor, based on knowledge of the characteristics of your skin. Each of us is unique. Therefore, the choice of medications should be approached individually and responsibly. At the same time, you do not need to ask to recommend a cheaper cream (even if your financial situation leaves much to be desired), you want not only a beautiful body, but also healthy children, right? And cheap creams can contain components that are harmful to the child. Therefore, we advise you not to save on your and your baby's health and opt for a higher quality cream. Moreover, you will certainly get the most favorable result if you use such a cream. It is better if the cream for stretch marks contains retinol. This component is most often included in face creams to increase skin elasticity. And if you have not yet managed to buy a cream for stretch marks, you can use the product for care that you usually apply to your face. The only downside is the high price of such a procedure. After all, regular face cream is much more expensive than stretch mark cream, as it is designed to cover a smaller area. As for retinol, it is designed to produce collagen in the skin, which is very important both during pregnancy and after childbirth, since in the first case the body suffers a colossal increase in weight, and in the second it cannot cope with its sharp reduction. Hence the sagging skin, flabbiness and stretch marks. The effect of retinol can be seen six weeks after use, so do not expect instant results and do not throw away the cream after the first week of use, motivating your choice by the fact that “it does not work”.

Peeling

However, if you have neglected it during pregnancybody care and allowed stretch marks to appear, a standard cream really won’t help. The thing is that its composition can’t penetrate into the deep layers of the skin where striae appear. But stretch mark cream can eliminate itching and dry skin, which is also important for a young mother. As for the problem itself, after giving birth you will have to solve it especially actively. And you need to do this with the help of peeling. This is a standard procedure during which exfoliating particles gradually smooth out the skin surface. By the way, the composition of the peeling is also important. Therefore, when choosing an exfoliating cream, pay attention to whether it includes almond oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, lanolin and wheat germ oil. If you are bothered by a slight itch during skin care after giving birth, it means that you are not getting enough moisture. Apply a new layer of cream after peeling or postpone the exfoliation procedure until the next time.

Discipline

Very often young mothers spend fabulous amounts of moneyamounts for stretch mark cream, but after a few days of use, they forget about it or reduce body care to a minimum. Understand that if the instructions say that the product should be applied to the skin at least twice a day, then any deviation from the schedule can reduce the effect to a minimum. And stretch marks on the body will appear not because the cream did not help you, but because of your negligence. We understand that carrying a child is undoubtedly hard work. And after giving birth, there is no time left even to look at yourself in the mirror. But if you want to be beautiful, put the stretch mark cream next to your toothpaste and do not be lazy to use it.

Do not harm a child

We have already talked about the fact that vitamin derivativesAnd they can harm the baby in the womb. However, the list of creams prohibited not only for pregnant women, but also for nursing women, is much longer. There is no point in listing all the components that your stretch mark cream should not contain. The easiest way is to carefully study the packaging of the product before buying. The manufacturer is sure to write a warning if its cream is really harmful to nursing mothers. Harmful components can be absorbed into the body along with the cream and get into the mother's milk, and from there - into the fragile body of the child. So be careful. After all, you are now responsible not only for yourself, but also for your baby. By the way, it is worth mentioning another omission that young mothers make. They do not look at the expiration date of the cream on the packaging. And an expired product can cause no less harm than an unsuitable composition of the product.
