Home remedies and tips for stretch marks

In this entry, I would like to share some more tips to fight against stretch marks. There are some home remedies, modern treatment, stretch marks prevention tips and others. Here is what I’ve read from a few articles.

“Massage and Moisturise
Massaging oil, moisturisers or creams into your stretch marks on a daily basis can help to keep the circulation working properly in the affected tissue. The moisturiser, oil or cream will also keep your skin soft and supple. Vitamin E oil/cream or Cocoa Butter are two of the most popular choices for preventing stretch marks. There is no scientific evidence to prove that they work, but many women swear by them for preventing stretch and treating stretch marks. Prescription creams that contain tretinoin or retin A can also be used to keep stretch marks at bay, but they can not be used when pregnant or nursing.

Avoid Hormone Based Medicines
You don’t have to be obese or have gained a lot of weight in a short time span to develop stretch marks. Those who are slim can also develop stretch marks and it is thought that hormones have a part to play in this. It has been suggested that certain hormone based medications such as steroids can cause stretch marks.

Wear a Supportive Maternity Bra
It is quite common for women to develop stretch marks on their breasts during pregnancy and breast feeding. A good quality maternity bra can help to give extra support.”

As for pregnant women, here are few tips that can be used.

If your mother or your sister developed stretch marks during pregnancy, then you may be more likely to develop them as well. There are a few things you can do that may limit the number of stretch mark you get or minimize them.

• 
  People who put excess weight also often get stretch marks. Avoiding putting on excess weight, whether you are pregnant or not, will mean you have a healthier lifestyle. It is true that some very slim new mums, or those who did not put on excess weight during pregnancy, have developed stretch marks during pregnancy. It is thought that there may be hormonal causes at work.
• Maintaining a healthy diet will also help to maintain skin elasticity. Eating well during pregnancy is of course extremely important. Pregnancy is not a time for a restricted diet, and dieting will not mean that you avoid stretch marks. Support your body and skin with a natural diet high in antioxidants and be sure to include healthy fats.
• Drink lots of water! Water helps your skin stay moisturised.
• Exercise during pregnancy is beneficial for the skin, and good for you in general. Before you start any new exercise program in pregnancy it is wise to consult your doctor.
• Skin brushing – lightly brushing your body all over with a loofah or brush - can stimulate blood flow to the skin.
• Your breasts grow quite a few sizes during pregnancy and will need extra support, and so good, supportive bras are a must and will help minimise stretching of breast tissue, though there is no evidence they will prevent or minimize stretch marks.
