Perhaps it is impossible to think of a more responsible personperiod in a woman's life than pregnancy and childbirth. The expectant mother plunges into the joy of motherhood, and all the events in her life are automatically divided into "before" the birth of the baby and "after". However, carrying a child does not always bring only joy. A sharp weight gain sometimes leads to the appearance of stretch marks on a woman's body. And if a young mother can lose extra pounds with the help of physical exercise and dietary restrictions, then stretch marks are not so easy to get rid of. They are like uninvited guests - they come when you least expect them, and it would seem that they are not going to leave. But we are not going to give up, are we? And we will fight for the beauty of our bodies to the last? Moreover, the weapon is known. These are essential oils. They help prevent stretch marks and get rid of existing stretch marks. So, be patient. We are going into the mysterious world of aromatherapy to find out which essential oils get rid of stretch marks. But first, let's get to the heart of the problem: why do stretch marks occur, and what kind of lifestyle should you lead to prevent those telltale stripes from appearing on your body.

Stretching: we study the pedigree

Stretch marks, or striae in the medical world,appear as a result of sudden weight gain. This usually happens during pregnancy or after sudden weight loss (here it is — the destructive effect of diets!). But it is not the sudden weight loss that is to blame for this, but the lack of elastin and collagen in the body. That is, the skin simply does not have time to react to the change in readings on the floor scales, and tears appear on it. The skin becomes thinner, and dark purple stripes appear at the site of its damage. Over time, the natural regeneration process makes stretch marks lighter, but not everyone can completely get rid of stretch marks. Moreover, damaged areas of the body are absolutely not susceptible to tanning due to the lack of pigment. That is, if you want to hide unsightly stretch marks by lying on the beach for a couple of days, we have to disappoint you: it will not work. The stretch marks will remain the same color as before. Moreover, you will increase the contrast between the main areas of the body and those that have been stretched. Many people, after finding stripes on their bodies, start running to doctors with questions about how harmful it is. We hasten to reassure you, stretch marks do not affect a person's health. Perhaps only their psychological state, since few women would like to see in the mirror, instead of a slender, toned body, skin with many deep purple stripes. Add to this postpartum depression, and you will understand how difficult it can be for a young mother to come to terms with the changes that pregnancy brings.

Essential oils from stretch marks: prevent the appearance of

Agree that any problem is easierprevent, than to search for methods of its solution for a long time. Therefore, if you do not want to become the owner of freshly acquired stretch marks after childbirth, you need to carry out a number of preventive procedures during the period of bearing a child, which will also help to significantly strengthen the nerves. And the thing is that essential oils help people relieve irritation after a hard day at work, normalize blood pressure and... get rid of the appearance of stretch marks. So, be patient and start the procedures!

• Carrot

Wash and peel medium-sized carrots,grate. After that, pour boiled water at room temperature over the grated mass so that the liquid slightly covers our carrots. Leave the mixture for fifteen minutes, then squeeze the carrot mass and throw it away. Add 5-6 drops of almond oil to the remaining water. Let it brew. The medicinal composition is ready, you can wipe the so-called "risk zones" with the resulting solution - the stomach, chest, legs, buttocks. In a word, all those parts of the body where stretch marks usually appear.

• Almond

To obtain this tincture you will needtablespoon of almond oil and three drops of orange tree and geranium oils. Mix all the ingredients and rub yourself with the resulting mixture before bed.

We treat fresh streamers

Let's say you've been patiently wearing your prenatalbandage and even did a massage against stretch marks, as the doctor ordered. But unruly white stripes still appear. What to do? First of all, do not panic. All problems can be solved if desired. And according to doctors, curing fresh stretch marks is much easier than it seems at first glance. And all thanks to natural essential oils and an endless desire to preserve the beauty of the body.

Do you still have almond oil? Perfectly. Mix a teaspoon of this etheric miracle with eight drops of rosemary. The tincture is ready. Pleasant wiping!

Again, almond oil, taken as a basis. 10 drops. In a duet with him act 5 drops of essential oil of lavender. According to doctors, it is this mixture that neutralizes fresh striae before delivery. Happy healing!

If you are allergic to almond oil, orjust wanted a variety, offer another recipe. This time, we need 5 drops of rosehip seed oil and two drops of mandarin and neroli. The resulting infusion should be rubbed into problem areas daily.

If you like calming smells, you should try the following tincture: mix two drops of incense, neroli and lavender. By this means you will cure not only stretch marks, but also nerves.

Old strias: to put up or say good-bye?

Even if your stretch marks are as old as the hills, you shouldn'tconsider them a part of your life. And even more so, you don’t need to think that now a closed swimsuit is all that threatens you on the beach. Old stretch marks are curable. Don’t believe me? But try essential oils against stretch marks, and your problem, if not completely solved, will become less acute. That is, the skin in the damaged areas will gradually begin to tighten, and the stretch marks themselves will be less noticeable. However, this method has one drawback - time. You will need at least a year for the stripes to become less noticeable, and you yourself will begin to look at yourself with greater optimism in your soul. Let's try?

We take as basis 50 ml of wheat germ oil. Add to it two drops of lavender, neroli and mandarin oil. We use it once a week as a massage oil. Here it should be noted that a standard massage in the fight against stria is not suitable. Intensive massaging movements are able to stretch the skin even more at the lesions and cause the appearance of new stretch marks. Therefore, use the so-called "pinch massage": apply oil to the fingertips and lightly pinch into the affected areas. Remainder of essential oils remove with a paper towel. Do not worry about the fact that the product did not have time to absorb. Your skin from the first minutes of the massage had time to be saturated with medical infusion, and what remained on the surface is surplus.

No less effective is the aromaticbath. Type water, add sea salt to it and a couple drops of camomile and lavender oil. Only lying in hot water should not five minutes (if suddenly the household will start knocking on the bathroom door), but at least an hour. Therefore, either warn your family in advance that you will become a mermaid for a while, or take water procedures when everyone is asleep.

Daily rubbing of aromatic mixtures, according tothe opinion of eyewitnesses, also work miracles. For the preparation of medicinal infusion, we need nine tablespoons of olive oil, 15 drops of essential oil of rose and one tablespoon of wheat germ oil. As you can see, all the ingredients are quite accessible and simple.

If you have an hour and a half left, and yousure that nothing and no one will disturb your peace, you can make an aromatic wrap. We can offer two variants of oil for wrapping. In the first case, the therapeutic mud is taken as a basis and 2 drops of lavender essential oil and one drop of lemon oil and neroli are added to it. In the second variant the basis of the wrapping will be therapeutic algae, in which it is necessary to add three drops of essential oil of neroli. Of course, it is best to carry out this procedure in the cabin under the supervision of a cosmetologist. However, if you do not have the time or opportunity, just apply the ethereal mixture on a normal food film, wrap it with the affected areas and leave to act for half an hour. Take care not to burn the skin. Do you feel a strong tingling sensation? Then it is better to stop the procedure.

If all the proposed methods have been tried,but the result is not observed, make a special compress with essential oils. It is believed that this method of treatment is more effective than conventional rubbing. To do this, mix two drops of rose oil and one drop of Neroli oil and petite grains. The resulting mixture is dissolved in a glass of warm boiled water. Now take a gauze cut, moisten it in our aromatic tincture and apply to affected areas of the body for 30-40 minutes. Just do not wait for an instant result. In order for striae to become less noticeable, the procedure must be repeated at least three times a day.

A few tips on using essential oils

Each treatment has its own contraindications andWarnings. Of course, essential oils are natural, but you need to be careful with them. First, before rubbing the tincture into your body, make sure that you are not allergic to the selected ingredients. Second, do not carry out the procedure in a cramped bathroom, but in a ventilated bedroom, since essential oils have rich aromas, and a pregnant woman is highly sensitive to odors. Do you feel the connection? The third piece of advice would be to buy oils wisely. Do not buy these products from hands or in subway passages. Real essential oils are sold in pharmacies. Of course, there is a chance that a bearded man from a tray-stool near the escalator will sell you natural rose oil. And if not? Then you can only hope that the bottle contains colored water, and not some kind of poisonous substance. The last piece of advice I would like to give to those women who have long and unsuccessfully tried to get rid of stretch marks. Do not despair. Look at your problem from the other side. And every time you change clothes, remember not the lost beauty, but the beloved children to whom you gave life. Are their smiles and shining eyes not worth all your stretch marks? Especially since for your family you are already the most beautiful mother in the world. Believe me! We recommend reading:
