How to prevent stretch marks?

June 09, 2025 Audrey Hababou

You're pregnant, congratulations !

You are normally used to taking care of your body and pampering it and you are determined not to let stretch marks take hold during these nine months.

A head full of unforgettable memories, yes, but unsightly scars on the stomach or chest, no thank you!

Follow the guide, we explain how to maintain supple skin and keep those purplish streaks away before and after childbirth.

  1. Where do stretch marks on the stomach come from?
  2. How to prevent stretch marks on the stomach?
  3. What treatments to prevent stretch marks on the stomach?

Where do stretch marks on the stomach come from?

Stretch marks appear when the skin has reached its maximum stretching capacity. During pregnancy, particularly from the second trimester, cortisol levels increase, causing the production of collagen and elastin to decrease at the same time. Which doesn't really suit us, since they are what ensure the suppleness of the skin! Subjected to too much tension, the fibers no longer have the capacity to stretch and tear. Skin lesions appear: these are the famous pregnancy stretch marks, which appear as purple or red streaks.

They mainly occur in areas of the body that easily gain volume: the stomach, chest, buttocks, thighs or hips.

Pregnant women, who experience rapid weight gain, are therefore particularly at risk, as are adolescents, during growth spurts or people who go on yo-yo diets. Bad news: heredity also plays a role in the appearance of stretch marks. If your mother had it, you are more likely to have it too...

Few people know it, but stretch marks can also appear after weight loss : this is why young mothers should not relax their efforts after giving birth. It would be a shame to avoid stretch marks throughout pregnancy and to see them appear after birth... Stretch mark prevention therefore does not stop at maternity, but a few weeks or months later, when you have regained your healthy weight!

When they are recent, stretch marks are purplish. Their bright color reflects inflammation of the dermis, it is due to the dilation of the vessels. They can still, at this stage, be attenuated. After a few months, the red stretch marks fade to a pearly white hue. This is the scarring phase: they are now well anchored in the skin and it is more complicated to act on the length and appearance of the streaks without medical treatment (such as laser).

How to prevent stretch marks on the stomach?

To put all the chances on your side, we adopt a healthy lifestyle, which will also benefit the baby. First, try – as much as possible – to gain weight gradually. We know that cravings and pregnancy hormones affect us and it is not always easy to eat a balanced diet. The adage “do not eat for two, but eat twice as much” has its full reason for being: by favoring foods that boost the production of elastin and collagen, you increase the suppleness of your skin!

Foods rich in antioxidants and vitamin A, C and E in particular (such as kiwis, oranges, peppers, tomatoes, etc.), essential fatty acids (Omega 3 and 6) contained in fatty fish and oils Plants (rapeseed, nuts for example) are valuable allies for maintaining beautiful, supple skin. Add to this good hydration (1.5L of water minimum per day), a little exercise (with the approval of your gynecologist) to work the muscles that support the skin, activate microcirculation and tone the epidermis, and you leave with good cards in hand to avoid cracking skin!

Softening your skin also means adopting key actions in your bathroom, massaging tense areas several times a day to promote their elasticity.

Anti-stretch mark massage creams and oils are your best allies for pampering your skin and maintaining smooth, flawless skin during pregnancy.

What treatments to prevent stretch marks on the stomach?

At Daylily, we have designed two treatments specially formulated to prevent the appearance of red stretch marks: Lait Fondant and Huile Sensorielle.

They contain key active ingredients to fight against the appearance of purple streaks:

-A complex of five vegetable oils (olive oil, macadamia oil, rosehip oil, avocado oil and sweet almond oil) known for their softening and nourishing action. They soften the skin, deeply hydrate and promote cell renewal.

-A natural anti-stretch mark active ingredient from a micro-algae, Dermochlorella , known to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.

Lait Fondant and its creamy texture penetrate quickly and allow you to get dressed straight away: we advise you to apply it in the morning, when you are in a hurry. The Sensory Oil spray and its non-greasy texture allows for long massages, for example in the evening, after a shower. Make large circular movements from bottom to top to soften the skin and let yourself be carried away by its delicate biscuity smell.

To pamper you while helping you prevent the appearance of these purplish streaks, we have specially designed La Pause Douceur dedicated to your well-being and your mother-to-be belly! Thanks to its soothing and moisturizing properties, your skin is instantly relieved of potential itching and tightness.

If you want to act in one gesture on stretch marks, cellulite (which tends to increase while expecting a baby) and firmness of the skin, choose our Baume Onctueux : this firming corrective treatment will accompany you before and after birth to regain smooth and silky skin. For better effectiveness of anti-stretch mark and anti-cellulite treatments, we recommend using Le Gant Sublimateur and its two exfoliating sides. Using Les Bulles Lavantes, it will exfoliate your skin and eliminate dead skin, leaving room for better absorption of treatments!

Is the composition of the treatments you use at the heart of your concerns? U.S. too ! Our treatments are formulated to meet the needs of your skin, without taking the slightest risk for your health and that of your baby. This is why the most harmful ingredients during pregnancy (such as essential oils, endocrine disruptors or carcinogens) are simply banned from our formulas.

You can take care of your body with complete peace of mind during pregnancy and breastfeeding and keep your skin perfectly supple and hydrated!
