Prevent Stretch Marks during Pregnancy.

 

Hi,

Pregnancybrings a lot of changes to a woman’s life, soul and body!. The most bothersome and a common change during pregnancy is the ‘Stretch Marks’! that appear around 13-21 weeks of pregnancy. Stretch Marks are the not so good-looking, itchy, reddish-purple scars with a slight ridge or indentation appear on the upper arms, chest, abdomen, thighs and hips due to the breakdown of collagen and connective tissues that support the skin that results from stretching of the skin due to weight gain in pregnancy.

Poor skincare, unhealthy diet, genetics, skin type and above-average weight gain in pregnancy cause Stretch Marks. About 90% of pregnant women experience them. Newly formed stretch marks fade away easily than the older ones.

Following are a few tips that can help to prevent and minimise Stretch Marks during Pregnancy -

1. Gaining a healthy amount of pregnancy weight slowly and steadily prevents the skin from overstretching thereby minimising the chances of development of Stretch Marks.

2. Drinking a good amount of water helps to keep the skin soft and hydrated and help prevent Stretch Marks. Dehydrated and dry skin is more prone to developing Stretch Marks. Avoid caffeinated beverages such as coffee as they increase the risk of developing Stretch Marks.

3. Eating a nutrient-rich diet which includes Vitamin C, D, E, zinc and protein help to boost skin health and prevent Stretch Marks. Vitamin C is important for the development of collagen that keeps the skin strong and elastic. Zinc helps to reduce inflammation and heal the wounds.

4. Moisturising the skin helps to maintain its elasticity and minimises the chances of tear that results in Stretch Marks due to weight gain. Therefore regularly massaging the skin with oils and moisturisers that penetrate deep layers of skin help to keep the skin hydrated, maintains its elasticity and prevents Stretch Marks.
