Avoid Pregnancy Stretch Marks!
October 6, 2009
Many modern pregnant women are choosing to make fashion statements with the trendiest, new maternity clothes out there, but it seems that relatively few of them remember to focus on the physical side effects that are left over after childbirth. As they overlook caring for the skin around their abdomens for months, it should come as no surprise that stretch marks result.
For anyone reading who is unfamiliar with stretch marks, the marks appear as either red or purplish lines when the skin is stretched past the usual limits. When they appear, they may also itch, which just seems to add insult to injury.
Stretch marks commonly appear around the stomach area, breast area, and buttocks, as these are the parts of a woman’s body that really handle the stress of carrying a child to term and after.
When most women see stretch marks on their bodies, they feel bad enough; but when those stretch itch on top of that, it’s just too much to deal with. Women need to know there are tips to follow to prevent the appearance or severity of stretch marks.
Stretch marks are any woman’s hated enemy, and they can easily be prevented with a little forethought.
What can I do to fight stretch marks?
The best tool in the fight against stretch marks is a cream designed with the right ingredients! There are harsh, chemical products out there that you should take care to avoid, and there are quite a few natural alternatives out there as far as creams for pregnancy stretch marks go.
Any retail outlet should carry at least one all-natural cream for pregnancy stretch marks, but you may have to make a trip to a specialty store to find the right product.
Pick a cream that includes any or all of the following ingredients:
*Horse Nut Tree Extract: a natural herb, it helps to smooth and firm up skin
*Cayenne Pepper: a spice, it stimulates circulation in the area
*Tiger’s Herb: a natural herb, it helps to smooth and firm up skin
*Cat’s Claw: a natural herb, it reduces cellulite and “dimpling”
*Shea Butter: moisturizes and soothes skin
You should check the directions on the product you choose to see how often you need to apply the cream to areas where stretch marks may occur, but usually the recommendation will be to apply the cream once or twice a day.
Please make sure to carefully examine the label to ensure all of the ingredients are natural and will not harm your newborn.
