Oh, these stretch marks! They have ruined more than one figure!Most often, stretch marks appear after pregnancy and childbirth. As a rule, women are not very concerned about this problem at first. Caring for a newborn takes up all their thoughts and all their free time. But a couple of months pass, and their own appearance begins to irritate the young mother. And who would like numerous stretch marks on a once slender girl's body? So women rush to doctors or friends for help, trying to find out how to remove stretch marks. Someone advises a desperate woman to use a cream, someone shares recipes for home cosmetology, some advise to resign themselves and turn to a good psychologist in order to accept their new body after childbirth. We decided to combine all the most common methods of combating stretch marks in one article.
Body care before delivery
Let's start with prevention!It is this simple rule that many women neglect. From the outside, it seems that it is much easier for them to fight an existing problem than to prevent its occurrence. But you and I are not among them, right? Therefore, there will be significantly fewer stretch marks on our bodies. And in order for this to be the case, several requirements must be taken into account:
- Wear a special bandage for the abdomen and a bra for pregnant women. This linen will help the spine to cope with the increasing load and protect the body from the appearance of stretch marks;
- Wash skin with lemon juice. You can do this at home, so the "lemon method" is so loved by our women.
- take a bath with the addition of pine extract. Just make sure that the water is not above 38 degrees. Pregnant women have a high water temperature;
- Be sure to buy cream from stretch marks forpregnant women. It will make the skin softer and more elastic. Today, a lot of similar products are presented in pharmacies, and if you doubt which way to choose, consult a gynecologist. Just remember that the prescription in the bag or cream, lonely dusting on the shelf, will not protect from stretch marks. Only regular rubbing will help. By the way, you can replace the cream from stretch marks with the usual olive oil. It also moisturizes the skin.
- Take a contrast shower, rub in cubesice, do massages. The more actions you take against stretch marks, the more likely they are that you will not appear. And notice that spending a lot of money and a lot of time for salons is not required. Most procedures can be done at home and on their own, so do not ignore our advice.
- By the way, about massages. A very effective tool during pregnancy is a slight tingling of the body. You can rub the body with a stiff washcloth or simply pat the problem areas with the palm of your hand. None of the movements will not hurt. With the help of any such massage it is possible at home to increase the flow of blood to the skin in a short time.
- A necessary condition is a full-fledgedfood. Often, stretch marks appear due to the insufficiently rich diet of a pregnant woman. The organism begins to lack some substances, and it signals the problem with all sorts of reactions (and the appearance of stretch marks as well). Well, if the doctor will prescribe you a special mineral and vitamin complex for expectant mothers. You can just listen to your own body. As a rule, a growing kid himself tells mom what he would like.
- But do not overdo it! Many women are so absorbed in the idea of eating for two that not only double their daily diet, but also triple it, sinning on the boundless appetite of a growing baby. Stop to shift responsibility for your own gluttony to an innocent (and yet unborn) child. It's better to stand on the scales and see what your negligence has brought. How then do not appear stretch marks, if your weight is many times higher than the norm? The skin just does not keep up with your appetite. And no cream will help to remove stretch marks. Only a balanced diet. Vitamins can be left. There are not many of them during pregnancy (and after childbirth).
