Vergetures : comment atténuer leur visibilité en été ?

Stretch marks: how to reduce their visibility in summer?

April 26, 2022 Audrey Hababou

Well hidden under a big sweater, stretch marks are invisible and can (almost) be forgotten. But summer is here, and revealing your stomach with lighter outfits or even wearing a swimsuit can be a source of complexes. No one really wants to display these unsightly streaks that mar the thighs, stomach or lower back.

You are wondering if there are solutions to reduce stretch marks and make them less visible as the sunny days approach, in order to fully enjoy your vacation and the sun without focusing on these red, purple or white stripes... The answer is yes ! With a little perseverance and adopting the right actions and care, you can actually improve their appearance and approach the swimsuit ordeal with more confidence and enthusiasm. Daylily, expert in natural anti-stretch mark treatments, explains how to proceed.

Pregnant women, a prime target for red stretch marks

Stretch marks are a well-known phenomenon among pregnant women , since it is estimated that 75% of them are affected, during or just after their pregnancy, postpartum. Indeed, red stretch marks appear during a significant fluctuation in weight (rapid weight gain or loss, during key moments in life, such as pregnancy, puberty, during a somewhat drastic diet, etc.), or during significant hormonal changes . We might as well tell you that future mothers are de facto prime targets for stretch marks!

In addition, if you are expecting a baby, your body will secrete more cortisol, estrogen and progesterone, hormones essential for carrying out your pregnancy. The other point of view ? Cortisol will cause a reduction in the production of collagen and elastin , both responsible for the elasticity of the skin . Your skin therefore naturally becomes less supple, when it will have to stretch like never before! When it reaches its limits , the skin simply “cracks”, and becomes covered with stretch marks on the areas of tension: stomach, buttocks, thighs, breasts, lower back, hips are then invaded by these marks. Violet or red in a first phase which will last several months, this color reflects the recent inflammation of the dermis, the stretch marks will then whiten and resemble older scars. Not so good news, since once white, they are more difficult to dislodge. You can consider temporary solutions , such as self-tanning or tinted sunscreen , but to eliminate them completely, you may need to turn to more restrictive treatments, such as laser sessions with a dermatologist or cosmetic doctor.

How to make stretch marks disappear for summer?

Before getting to the heart of the matter, here are some tips if your body has stretch marks as the sunny days approach. Summer is a crucial time for damaged skin. Stretch marks make the skin more sensitive to the sun. They can, under its rays, become covered with brown spots, which far from blending into the tan, will make them even more visible and above all pigment them permanently. How to protect yourself from it? By playing the prevention card if you expose your stretch marks to the sun : systematically apply a suitable sunscreen to your body so as not to aggravate the problem, and reapply it very regularly!

Reducing stretch marks takes place on different levels: you must have the right body care at home - with ingredients that will repair the dermis and help it heal -, the right gestures to properly work on the elasticity of the skin, and of course a little diligence: regularity is the key!

It is important to prepare your skin for better effectiveness of care. Le Gant Sublimateur will exfoliate your skin to reinforce the anti-stretch mark action of the products you apply. It is used perfectly with Les Bulles Lavantes, our gentle and sensory shower gel for a more complete pampering moment. Exfoliating the body will also help reinforce the effectiveness of anti-cellulite treatments!
