3 steps to improve stretch marks for pregnant mothers

Many pregnant mothers will find that marks like earthworms crawling may appear on their abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and even neck and arms. They are mostly dark red at first and turn silvery white over time. These are the so-called "stretch marks."

Clinically, some people think that stretch marks and stretch marks are stretched blood vessels, but in fact, they are stretched elastic fibers and connective tissues. This is because the skin cannot withstand rapid expansion in a short period of time. Many expectant mothers are worried that their perfect skin will develop "birth marks". How to have a cute baby without losing the original beauty is the common wish of many mothers.

《Step 1: Pregnancy cream for enhanced moisturizing and massage》

In addition to being caused by pregnancy, stretch marks are also closely related to physical constitution and are often related to congenital factors. In fact, about 60% of pregnant women will not have stretch marks due to pregnancy. But if stretch marks occur, they will not only appear on the belly, but also on the thighs, buttocks and even the back of the hands. They will be more obvious especially for expectant mothers who gain weight quickly after pregnancy.

To avoid stretch marks, prevention is definitely better than cure, although some people are naturally less likely to develop stretch marks. However, some people still develop these lines even after using a lot of expensive skin care products. By frequently applying skin care products to nourish the skin and strengthening massage, the elasticity of the skin can be enhanced. More care will definitely be better than leaving it alone. To prevent stretch marks, the most important thing is to avoid weight gain in a short period of time and to massage frequently.

Many female artists are afraid of stretch marks after pregnancy, so they apply pregnancy cream every day and massage their skin frequently to enhance skin elasticity. However, you don’t have to choose expensive pregnancy creams or massage oils, as long as they contain plant ingredients or natural nourishing ingredients. The most important thing is to massage frequently to enhance skin elasticity.

《Step 2: Supplement natural collagen and moderate exercise》

Supplementing with natural collagen in daily life, such as: bird's nest, white fungus, pig skin, sweet potato leaves, notoginseng leaves, etc., can promote the growth of elastic fiber tissue in the skin and is also a good way to increase skin elasticity. A rubber band without elasticity will break easily if it is pulled, but a rubber band with full elasticity can be wrapped repeatedly many times. Our skin is like a rubber band, and it is not easy to form wrinkles if it is elastic.

Appropriate exercise during late pregnancy

In addition, maintaining proper exercise in the middle and late stages of pregnancy can not only prevent rapid weight gain, but also help to facilitate a smooth delivery process and maintain skin elasticity. For example: walking, appropriate yoga (maintaining even breathing and appropriate stretching), and gentle swimming (avoiding crowded swimming pools to avoid being kicked by the "shadowless kick"). If you are prone to miscarriage, you must consult a doctor before deciding on the type of exercise.

《Step 3: Eliminate stretch marks after confinement》

If you want to use acupuncture to treat stretch marks, you can do it after giving birth. Some not only have stretch marks, but also have melanin deposition problems, such as the skin color of the abdomen, groin or inner thighs becoming darker. Choosing acupuncture plus whitening Chinese medicine after childbirth can help lighten pigmentation. Acupuncture and medicine can accelerate the improvement of skin circulation and metabolism. Usually, there will be a lot of improvement in one or two months. To fully recover, it will take at least half a year, and you need to be patient and cooperate.

If you want to eliminate stretch marks that have already occurred, the main approach is massage beforehand and acupuncture afterwards, with less use of medication. As for postpartum skin pigmentation, there are some drugs that have good whitening effects. It is recommended to use Angelica dahurica, Poria cocos, Ophiopogon japonicus, and Luffa loofah to enhance the fading of skin pigmentation. If you want to make your skin whiter quickly, you can also take it with water medicine during the confinement period.
