How to make a Mother’s Stretch Mark Lotion
This time, I’m going to make a stretch mark prevention lotion that is often used during pregnancy. First, let’s find out what stretch marks are.
Stretch marks, a type of stretch marks, are symptoms caused by the sudden swelling of the belly after pregnancy, stretching of the subcutaneous tissue and rupture of capillaries. As the skin suddenly expands, collagen and elastin are torn, resulting in horizontal or vertical lines on the skin.
Stretch marks do not disappear completely once they are formed and remain as thin white lines even after childbirth, so prevention is more important than anything else.
To prevent stretch marks, you need to make constant efforts in your life.
1. Once you are pregnant, you must be careful not to gain weight rapidly.
2. Avoid wearing tight underwear, stockings, or skinny jeans. This is to facilitate blood circulation.
3. The basis for preventing stretch marks is moisturizing. This is because it can increase skin elasticity through moisturizing. As the skin expands, the epidermis of the skin is excessively stretched, resulting in increased water loss from the skin. Moisture in the skin has a great effect on skin elasticity, so proper hydration increases skin elasticity, which also helps prevent stretch marks.
I’ll try using rosehip oil, vegetable squalene, niacinamide, EGF, mandarin essential oil, and neroli water, which are excellent for moisturizing and soothing.
