Why can stretch marks appear on the hips?
To better understand why stretch marks can invade the hips during pregnancy, let's go back to the basics! When pregnant, your body will change quickly. Your stomach, and to a lesser extent your breasts, will increase in volume significantly over a short period of time. The skin must follow the movement as best it can. If it lacks flexibility and elasticity, the strong tensions exerted by pregnancy will end up having an unsightly consequence: the appearance of stretch marks, these long red/purple marks which indicate that the skin fibers have reached their limits in terms of stretched and ended up “crackling”. Their red color reflects recent inflammation of the dermis.
Tensions are not only exerted on the stomach, but also on all related areas: the lower back, the top of the buttocks and thighs, and of course the hips, which can be the collateral victims of this weight gain.
You should know that, at the same time, cortisol naturally increases during pregnancy. Cortisol, kesaco? It is a hormone that directly influences the production of collagen, which it significantly reduces, thus reducing the natural suppleness of the skin. Weight gain, cortisol...all the factors converge towards very stressed but less elastic skin, hence the need to act without delay.
Certainly, stretch marks are benign and their color will eventually fade over time to become pearly white. But once at this stage, it will be too late to improve their appearance: they then become frozen in the skin, like scars. The only solution to get rid of it? Having recourse to a dermatological or aesthetic treatment (such as laser), often cumbersome and expensive and with uncertain results.
The good news is that it is possible to take preventive action to avoid the appearance of red stretch marks on the hips : a good anti-stretch mark cream will soften your skin to help it stretch without cracking. A reflex to adopt from the start of your pregnancy to take care of yourself and avoid going through stretch marks. Good to know: Daylily care for pregnancy also contains active ingredients that improve the appearance of marks that could appear on your hips. They act on the length, width, depth of stretch marks, but also on their color to combine prevention and treatment in a single product!
What care for stretch marks on the hips?
Applying an anti-stretch mark treatment should never be a chore. This is why we have focused on treatments that are pleasant to use , with silky textures and feminine fragrances. There is no reason why your beauty routine during pregnancy should be bland and devoid of sensory pleasure :)
Our Lait Fondant is an anti-stretch mark cream with a velvety texture . It envelops you in softness like a caress and penetrates quickly to allow you to get dressed quickly in the morning . You can also apply it in the evening, or opt for an ideal complement, L'Huile Sensorielle, perfect after the shower. This is a dry anti-stretch mark oil, without greasy effect, which allows a long massage to soften the skin on the stomach, breasts, hips, buttocks and thighs. Its biscuity scent is popular with pregnant women who love using it, while respecting the subtlety of their sense of smell. In addition, you can exfoliate in the shower with Le Gant Sublimateur to remove dead skin and make the treatments more effective. It can be used perfectly with Les Bulles Lavantes, our shower jelly suitable for the whole family!

Like all our products, these anti-stretch mark treatments have been formulated with a maximum of natural ingredients , carefully avoiding all those which are harmful (or potentially harmful) for future and young mothers and their children. We think in particular of alcohol, essential oils or even various endocrine disruptors which can impact the growth and health of the baby.
Our formula contains a complex of five beneficial organic vegetable oils for the skin. Macadamia Oil, Olive Oil, Avocado Oil, Muscat Rose Oil and finally Sweet Almond Oil come together to soften, nourish, soften the skin and boost collagen production. They also have regenerating abilities to help the skin heal and reduce stretch marks on the hips !
A natural anti-stretch mark active ingredient, Dermochlorella, complements their benefits and acts to prevent and treat stretch marks. Of marine origin (it comes from a micro-algae), Dermochlorella stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to help the skin stretch.
Our advice to limit the risk of stretch marks appearing on the hips? Apply the Lait Fondant in the morning and the Huile Sensorielle in the evening using slow circular movements to soften the skin, from the first month of pregnancy ! No need to wait until weight gain has started to take care of your skin. If you want to act on stretch marks, but also on cellulite and skin firmness, our Baume Onctueux with 3-in-1 action is made for you. It is the perfect ally for pregnant women who want to erase dimples – sometimes more pronounced during pregnancy. This treatment is of course, like all Daylily products, 100% compatible with breastfeeding .
