You are expecting a baby and are overjoyed? Congratulations! 💛
While you are growing a little human, a lot will happen to your body and most specifically to your skin.
In this blog, we tell you what are stretch marks and how to pamper your skin during your pregnancy.
What Are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks are scars that appear on the skin after it underwent rapid expansion (stretch).
They are painless and can occur following rapid weight gain or weight loss. They are usually located on the hips, lower back, the thighs, the belly, and the breasts.
They first show as reddish or purple streaks and progressively become white as they diminish.
How to Prevent Stretch Marks?
Because we are all beautifully different, some people will be lucky enough to not develop stretch marks while some others may not have that chance.
This doesn't mean that the situation is hopeless!
With a little anticipation and some well deserved self care, it is possible to minimize the appearance of stretch marks.
