I'm pregnant: stretch marks appear

Stretch mark massage oil

Let's start this article with the first stage in a mother's life: being pregnant! The baby isn't here yet, but the body is changing and stretch marks are appearing... Don't panic, stretch marks affect 80-90% of pregnant women, so there's nothing abnormal about that. They usually appear during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters , mainly on the stomach , breasts , hips , thighs , and buttocks . It's the rapid growth during pregnancy that's responsible for the appearance of stretch marks. Indeed, the tension that builds up in the skin when it stretches can damage certain layers of the skin. This causes the breakdown of collagen and elastin, two fibrous proteins that support the skin. Certain factors can increase the risk of developing stretch marks. For example, heredity is a major factor. If your mother or sister had stretch marks, you're more likely to get them too. High levels of certain hormones such as cortisol and pregnancy hormones could also promote their appearance.

With 100% organic nourishing vegetal oils of Sweet Almond , Rosehip , Coconut and Cranberry, Stretch Mark Massage Oil supports skin elasticity, providing suppleness and comfort. The subtle essential oil of Rosewood safely complements this combination of natural ingredients. Thanks to its silky texture, it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film, for supple and satiny skin. It also soothes in case of itching, feelings of tightness and can be used during breastfeeding . And since we know that every woman has her own texture preferences, we have developed a stretch mark massage oil and cream .
