One of the downsides of the otherwise wonderful experience of pregnancy and childbirth, is the appearance of stretch marks on the body.
While these marks, otherwise known as Striae Distensae, are superficial and pose no health risk or danger to the sufferer, they do have a dramatic effect that can't be seen by the naked eye.
Many women who suffer from Striae Distensae will experience a plethora of negative effects, including poor self image, lowered self esteem, fear of intimacy, and even depression.
This can be due to the perception they will never get their old body back, and this combined with the general idea that one's life must change after having a baby, and all the other things women have to deal with after pregnancy such as weight gain, changed responsibilities and the stresses of child raising, can lead to these negative feelings or symptoms.
So what can be done about stretch marks during pregnancy? One benefit you have if you are pregnant is you know stretch marks are likely to occur, and this means you can be prepared.
A good topical treatment that heaps keep collagen levels in the skin high can be an excellent preventative measure, helping to keep the skin stretchy and supple, especially around the belly.
This combined with an intensive moisturising regime is your best bet to avoid the dreaded stretch marks.
If you already have stretch marks on your body, the same collagen boosting treatments can help reduce the appearance of those marks dramatically.
Intensive and persistent application of Revitol, Elastin3 or TriLastin creams can over the long term dramatically fade Striae Distensae, eventually to the point where they are invisible to the naked eye.
Keeping moisturising up with an effective deep-skin moisturiser, such as cocoa butter or calendula oil, and keeping a healthy diet and hydration (lots of green leafy vegetables and water) will help speed up this process.
