Collection: Stretch Marks

Stretch marks appear when the skin stretches rapidly, causing the collagen and elastin fibers to break. This can occur during periods of rapid growth, weight changes, or pregnancy. Initially red or purple, stretch marks eventually fade to white or silver.

Red stretch marks are recent and indicate that the blood vessels under the skin are still visible, making them more responsive to treatments. White stretch marks, on the other hand, are older and have transitioned into the healing phase.

To reduce stretch marks naturally, use products rich in natural oils, cocoa butter, and vitamins. These ingredients help improve skin elasticity and promote the skin's natural repair processes. Regular application and massage can enhance the effects.

For best results, start using a stretch mark cream as soon as you notice skin changes or experience stretching. Apply daily, morning and night, to maintain hydration and elasticity. Combining the cream with an oil can provide deeper nourishment, especially when used in the evening.

Pregnancy can cause significant skin stretching, particularly around the abdomen. Up to 70% of women experience stretch marks during their first pregnancy. To minimize their appearance, hydrate the skin regularly with specialized products. Consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment, especially during pregnancy and postpartum.
