How to avoid stretch marks during pregnancy? Daylily
Stretch marks can affect all pregnant women: it is estimated that 75% of new mothers are marked by these purplish welts, which indicate inflammation of the dermis.
There are two main causes for the appearance of stretch marks:
• Rapid weight gain which damages the epidermis. Areas of tension such as the stomach, chest, thighs, hips and buttocks should be the target of all your attention.
• Hormonal changes that come into play during pregnancy: cortisol and estrogens in particular, reduce the activity of fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen and elastin. These two proteins are precisely responsible for the suppleness and elasticity of the skin.
If the genetic factor is proven (if your mother had stretch marks, you are more likely to have them yourself), there are no real predisposing factors: all phototypes (light skin, dark skin, mixed race …), and all skin types (dry, normal, etc.) are affected.
Hence the importance of applying an anti-stretch mark treatment as soon as the happy event is announced, and for the next three trimesters, to soften the skin and prepare it for the stretching that will follow. The first objective is of course prevention , to avoid the appearance of red stretch marks. The second is to limit the damage, if they appear despite all your efforts, by improving their appearance (length, width, depth, color, texture of the skin). It is indeed possible to act on a red stretch mark to fade it, but you must redouble your efforts without delay: stretch marks naturally become white and pearly over time and freeze in the skin like scars. They can then only be completely eliminated with heavy and often expensive dermatological or aesthetic treatments.
Which anti-stretch mark active ingredients to favor?
Anti-stretch mark treatments can be found in most brands: oil, balm, gel, cream, spray, pump bottle, organic or not... It's difficult to find your way among all the offers of corrective, restorative and protective treatments. offered to future mothers.
Two issues often overlap during pregnancy: we want an effective product of course, but not at any price. The ingredients must be natural , completely harmless for baby – with the added bonus of a delicate smell which will make their application pleasant !
Our first advice: opt for brands specializing in anti-stretch mark pregnancy care for pregnant women, such as Daylily. For what ? Quite simply because these treatments meet a strict formulation charter, guaranteed without ingredients harmful to the health of the baby or the mother-to-be. No essential oils, no endocrine disruptors, no allergens or toxic preservatives: you can pamper yourself in complete safety . We invite you to consult the list of ingredients not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding , developed with our expert midwife. For the sake of transparency and because INCI lists are often incomprehensible to consumers, we have also deciphered each ingredient in our formulas. Its role, its origin, its benefits: you have all the information at your fingertips!
We have favored active ingredients of natural origin in the composition of our anti-stretch mark treatments. Better assimilated by the skin, they are more effective and their benefits are no longer in doubt.
Vegetable oils, for example, extracted from plants, flowers or fruits, have undeniable benefits for the skin, unlike mineral oils (derived from petroleum) which have no added value and a disastrous ecological impact.
In our anti-stretch mark treatments, we have focused on a complex of beneficial vegetable oils :
• Macadamia Nut oil , perfect for softening, repairing and nourishing the epidermis.
• Muscat rose oil which softens the skin while helping damaged skin to heal.
• Olive oil , always recognized for its nourishing and softening properties, restores the hydrolipidic film.
• Avocado oil , rich in oleic acid and essential fatty acids, is a key active ingredient for stimulating collagen production, improving the elasticity of the epidermis and promoting skin regeneration.
• Finally, sweet almond oil , a key active ingredient in the fight against stretch marks, softens and heals the skin. It is particularly recommended for dry and sensitive skin, which is often the case during pregnancy!
These five vegetable oils act in synergy to preserve the beauty of your skin and your baby bump . We have associated them with a sixth anti-stretch mark active ingredient, Dermochlorella .
This micro-algae has no equal in stimulating the production of elastin and collagen which future mothers lack. You will find them in our body treatments : Sensory Oil and Fondant Milk . We recommend that you apply them morning and evening as a massage. Their melting, non-greasy textures and sensory fragrance invite you to a real moment of relaxation in the bathroom!
