Exercise Now!
Exercise keeps your body healthy. When your body
is healthy, your skin is healthy. As a recommendation be careful with weight lifting exercise as muscle
building too quickly may lead to stretch marks.
Don’t Scratch!
Don’t scratch the areas where you are likely to get
stretch marks. These areas most commonly are the
hips and inner thighs, stomach area, arm pit area
and around the chest area. If your skin does feel itchy
you should apply and massage in oils and creams.
To find the best creams or oils, ask your Pharamacist
what he would recommend for your skin. Massaging
will not only prevent pulling and stretching the outer
and middle layers of the skin, but it will also help
promote new skin growth and positive blood circulation.
Use a Stretch Mark Cream!
Use a stretch mark cream or ointment more than
once daily in the areas you are likely to develop
stretch marks. This applies especially to pregnant
women as approximately 75-90% of pregnant women incur some kind of stretch marks related to their
pregnancy. Some creams have ingredients which can
help improve the condition of your skin. This in turn
decreases your chance of developing stretch marks in
the near future. Once again, to find the best creams
and oils, please consult your doctor.
