What should you do if develop stretch marks during pregnancy?

I really couldn’t allow myself to have a flabby belly covered in stretch marks after giving birth. I couldn’t accept it at all! So, I spent a few months repairing and fading the stretch marks I had during pregnancy.

Actually, getting stretch marks is quite mysterious. Everyone says it’s genetic, but my mom and sister don’t have them, but I do! And then there’s Jimei, who has the gene, who doesn’t have them. So, genetics probably only accounts for about 10% to 20% of the time, and the main factors are weight and skin elasticity.

I was around 32 weeks pregnant when marks suddenly appeared. I was hoping that since I didn’t apply too much oil, they wouldn’t appear! However, because I ate a little better during that time and didn’t control my weight, stretch marks appeared!

After marks appeared, I also tried every possible way to repair and fade them. At least I tried to control the marks and prevent them from appearing again. The subsequent fading process can only be done slowly.

Below are some tips on my journey to fight wrinkles. I strongly recommend you to like and collect them!

Before that, let me share some scientific knowledge with you. After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle:

Causes of stretch marks:

Genetics. Although I’m not one of these factors, experts have confirmed that there is a connection.Hormonal factors during pregnancy, and the enlarged abdomen, cause varying degrees of damage and breakage in the skin’s elastic and 

collagenfibers due to external forces . Sudden weight gain. I overate when I was pregnant with my first child, which led to a distended belly. I started to develop stretch marks a month before giving birth.My skin is naturally less elastic. My skin is naturally loose, probably because I haven’t exercised for a long time anddidn’t take any protective measures. I didn’t take any stretch mark care during pregnancy.

When stretch marks form : Generally, they start from 5/6 months, and for a small number of people, they will suddenly crack during childbirth.

Several signs of stretch marks:

• Itchy, dry belly (if you don’t want to get stretch marks overnight, don’t scratch!)
• I started to get little red spots on my belly, and it didn’t feel convex to the touch (I told you not to scratch it, so don’t scratch it!!)
• Without any signs, I woke up with stretch marks (this happened to me, it was so sudden!??)

Color and shape of stretch marks at different time periods:

{Stage 1}: Color: Pink, Shape: The skin around the stretch marks is flat, thin, and itchy

{Phase 2}: Color: red or purple, shape: the length and width of the stretch marks become larger

{Stage 3}: Stretch marks color: brown, white or silver, shape: shrinking and faded, slightly concave and irregular in shape or length

The best time to fade stretch marks: the sooner the better! In the first stage, when pink lines appear, you can start to fade them.

My journey to anti-wrinkle:

1. Topical stretch mark care products

After comprehensive comparison and trial, I finally chose this product as the “weapon” to fight stretch marks.

✅Kangaroo Mom Wrinkle Reduction Set: Essence Oil + Essence Lotion.

I have been using this product during the period of repairing light wrinkles. After using it for a few months, the effect of lightening wrinkles is the most obvious.

The main reason I chose this product from their brand was because of the ingredients and texture of the stretch mark product. I saw other pregnant mothers using it, and they said that the ingredients contained in the essential oil are very effective in dealing with stretch marks. The texture is not thick or sticky, and the oil is relatively refreshing. When massaging it on the abdomen, there is a cool feeling. After applying it, it penetrates quickly!

It’s not a massage oil or any other supplemental oil, but an essential oil with wrinkle-lightening ingredients and benefits! It’s also the only stretch mark product on the market with an SGS certification, making it quite trustworthy.

The ingredients are also quite outstanding, containing 8 kinds of natural plant essential oils, including jojoba oil, argania spinosa kernel oil, meadowfoam seed oil, pelargonium graveolens flower oil, etc., which can repair stretched damaged barriers and synthesize collagen .
