The correct way to apply stretch mark cream

Stretch marks are more common among pregnant women and postpartum women. This is mainly because during pregnancy, the pregnant woman's abdomen gradually enlarges, causing the skin fibers to break, and forming a kind of stretch marks phenomenon. In the process of gradual recovery of the body, the mother can remove this stretch mark through certain methods, such as applying anti-stretch mark cream, which has a good effect in removing stretch marks.

The correct way to apply stretch mark cream

Many mothers buy good quality anti-stretch mark cream, but fail to feel the effectiveness of the product because they do not know the correct usage method. Mastering the correct and efficient method of applying anti-pregnancy cream can not only bring out the function of the product and relieve the symptoms of anti-pregnancy cream, but also has a certain effect on relaxing the body and mind of pregnant women.

1. Massage before going to bed

The skin's vitality reaches its peak between 8:00 and 12:00 in the morning, and this is the best time to carry out stretch mark prevention care. However, modern medicine has also proven that the regeneration and metabolic capacity of skin cells at night is 2-3 times that of the daytime. The metabolic function is more active from 10 pm to 2 am. Skin care at this time can improve the skin's nutrient absorption function. Therefore, skin care and massage before going to bed to prevent stretch marks is also a good choice.

Before going to bed every night, lie on your back on the bed, put massage oil on your hands, then hold the fetus and slowly massage it 10 times from top to bottom and from left to right. At the beginning, do it at most 3 times a week. After a month, start doing it every day, with each time lasting 5-10 minutes.

2. Apply mainly to the abdomen, and also to the buttocks and inner thighs. The skin is always stretched starting from the abdomen. If the abdomen is well moisturized and its resistance to stretching is enhanced, the skin of the thighs and buttocks will be less affected.

Precautions for using anti-stretch mark cream

1. The dosage should be sufficient

Products for removing stretch marks are expensive, so some mothers think they should use them sparingly. But many times, anti-wrinkle products fail to work because of insufficient dosage. When you are pregnant, your abdominal skin is stretched so much that you need a lot of moisturizer to keep it moisturized. Only by keeping the skin moisturized can its ductility be enhanced, otherwise the skin will become itchy, and then the fibrous tissue and collagen fibers rich in the subcutaneous tissue will not be able to withstand the expansion and will easily break, resulting in stretch marks.

Therefore, it is best to apply stretch mark cream two or three times to ensure that the skin absorbs enough nutrients so that the skin can withstand stretching. I have seen some pregnant mothers say that they used it but the effect was not obvious. It is best to check whether they used too little.

2. Apply it every day

Even if you use enough, stretch marks will still be difficult to remove if you don't apply it every day. After applying it a few times, I didn't stick with it, and in the end I spent money but didn't get the expected results.

3. Pay attention to the application time

It is best not to apply pregnancy cream or massage your abdomen before three months of pregnancy. The main reason is that before three months, the growth of the fetus is still unstable and it is very easy to be affected by external stimuli and odors, causing deformities or miscarriage. This is especially important for older mothers. Some products for preventing stretch marks also explicitly require that they should only be used after three months of pregnancy.
