Stretch marks are a nightmare for many women. Ma Bao, who gave birth to a child, is worried about how to get rid of them. Pregnant women who have never given birth are also trying to prevent it. But how terrible are stretch marks?

During pregnancy, female skin is prone to skin fiber breakage. Once this happens, it means that stretch marks are coming. The stretch marks in our memory are on our stomachs, but in fact, stretch marks also appear on our thighs, arms, buttocks and even breasts.

Stretch marks not only affect the appearance, but also cause other problems, such as itchy skin, loose skin and sometimes rash. If there are stretch marks on the chest, our chest may sag and so on. In short, stretch marks can be said to be every treasure mother's postpartum nightmare.

But in fact, not every treasure mother will have stretch marks after giving birth to a baby. Some treasure mothers take care of them, and almost no stretch marks appear after giving birth to the baby. So what are the characteristics of these precious mothers?

1. The first child is older.

The first-born baby, that is, the treasure mother who gave birth to the baby for the first time, has a 90% chance of having stretch marks if she is under 20 years old, but if she is over 35 years old, the probability of having stretch marks will not be higher than 35%.

2. I have been very thin during pregnancy.

Ma Bao, who is slim, has no obvious change in body shape and weight during pregnancy, so the probability of stretch marks is very low.

3. Genetic genes

The tensile strength, elasticity and genetic factors of our skin will all affect the stretch marks. If the female elders in the family don't have stretch marks, Ma Bao will have a low chance of developing stretch marks. If the female elders at home have stretch marks, then Ma Bao should pay attention and do more preventive work.

Although sometimes stretch marks are inevitable, we can't condone their appearance. Whether it is a nanny who already has stretch marks or a pregnant mother who is worried that she has stretch marks, we need to take good care of our skin and try to avoid or reduce stretch marks.

1. Reduce direct sunlight

Direct sunlight on our skin will accelerate the loss of skin moisture, and skin lacking moisture is still more prone to skin fiber breakage than skin with sufficient moisture.

Reasonable weight control

Exercise properly during pregnancy, try to avoid sudden weight gain and skin fiber breakage, thus reducing the appearance of stretch marks. However, Ma Bao needs to be careful not to strictly control her weight, because she has no stretch marks, which can easily affect the health of the fetus. Weight gain during pregnancy is best controlled at 22 kg to 26 kg.

3. Eat more antioxidant foods

Blueberries, onions, eggplant, etc. , rich in anthocyanins, can help the human body clean up harmful free radicals and play an antioxidant role. In addition, we also need to pay attention to sugar intake.

Step 4 replenish water and collagen

Drinking water can also replenish water and moisturize our skin. Collagen can enhance skin elasticity and help repair damaged skin fibers, thus reducing the depth of stretch marks.

Use less cosmetics.

Cosmetics are irritating to our skin, especially to pregnant mothers. It's best to use less cosmetics. In addition, olive oil can be properly applied during pregnancy. We apply olive oil to areas prone to stretch marks, and then massage them, such as thighs, arms, stomach and so on.

In fact, not all stretch marks can't be eliminated. Some treasure moms can eliminate stretch marks for physical reasons, so treasure moms should not be negative, actively care and improve their stretch marks.
