Finding The Right Pregnancy Stretch Mark Cream
Posted by Editor on Nov 25, 2013 in Stretchmark Creams | Comments Off
Some people get stretch marks when they are pregnant and some don’t. It makes sense though that because the stomach area stretches so much during pregnancy (especially at the later stages) that these marks are quite common. Usually these marks appear as red lines and then eventually in time they turn silver, so they blend in better.
There are plenty of creams on the market that can help you should you get stretch marks. You can pay anything from under $10 to over $100 but it is important to look at the ingredients (the purer the better and without any petrochemicals) and check out customer reviews to see which the best one for you is.
If you are or are considering becoming pregnant you should think carefully about your diet. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables are important as foods rich in antioxidants also help to nourish the skin and protect it as well as being very good for your baby. Making a few changes to your diet might also help prevent stretch marks or keep them to a minimum.
Vitamin E helps to protect skin cell membranes and this vitamin is found in avocados, broccoli and collard greens as well as in nuts and seeds. It is easy to incorporate these foods into your diet. Avocados can be sliced into your daily salad or even use them as part of the salad dressing. The same applies to nuts and seeds. You can snack on them but also include them on salads or on steamed vegetables. You can include them as a breakfast item and add them to your morning cereal or muesli. Vitamin E should also be an ingredient in a stretch mark cream.
Vitamin A helps repair skin tissue. Carrots, squash, red bell peppers as well as sweet potatoes are all foods that nourish your body and your baby. All these ingredients are great soup ingredients but can also be included in any salad.
Another great way to keep your skin healthy is to eat foods containing Omega 3s. These include all sorts of fish (salmon is particularly good), eggs, walnuts and even oysters. You can also take our Omega 3s as a supplement but make sure that it contains all natural ingredients.
Hydration is really important for your skin and that is where drinking water is very necessary. You can aspire to drink 8 glasses of water every day. Make sure this is pure clean water with no additives and not carbonated. Soon you will get used to drinking water regularly.
Another way to get hydrated is with herbal teas. Rooibos tea, for example is from a certain part of South Africa and it is well known for its benefits for skin. Peppermint, chamomile, hibiscus tea all taste delicious. Give them a try.
Eating fruits and vegetables that have high water content will also naturally hydrate you. Always include cucumbers and celery with your salads and fruits like melons, strawberries, grapes, pears and apples contain a lot of water.
Exercising during pregnancy helps to keep your body flexible but also your skin. You will become more toned and your blood will keep moving around your body which adds up to a more comfortable pregnancy. Yoga exercises are particularly good.
Earth Mama Angel Baby natural stretch oil costs under $12 for 4oz and can be used for bellies but also breasts and bottoms. The oils in this products are all-natural, absorb easily into the skin and are hypoallergenic. This oil is also great for people experiencing morning sickness as it does not have a strong smell. This seems a very good oil to use whether you have stretch marks or not. In fact, using an oil or belly button during pregnancy just makes sense.
Despite caring for your stomach with oils or butters and eating, drinking and exercising, stretch marks could still appear. If this is the case you need a cream specifically designed to take care of these marks. There are also lots of belly butters, lotions and oils for stretch marks available. Ingredients like cocoa or Shea butter are good ingredients to look for and also Vitamin E.
If you go to a website like amazon.com they will not only give you a list of creams to choose from but they also have a zero to five star system based on reviews they have received about the different creams from their customers.
Make sure you start using a pregnancy stretch mark cream as soon as you see a mark appear. The sooner you start treating these marks the better. Bio-Oil is also good for stretch marks and even scars and it contains a mixture of plant oils as well as vitamins so that it not only moisturizes the skin but also improve the tone of the skin.
This oil is also good for aging and even dehydrated skin. Amazon has rated the different Bio Oil products with four and even five stars (Bio-Oil Scar Treatment). Since coming onto the market in 2002, Bio Oil has won over 100 skin car awards and is America’s premier selling skincare oil for multi-use. Also a little of the oil goes a long way and these products sell on Amazon from just under $10 to just under $30.
At the other end of the price spectrum, Guinot has a stretch mark cream for around $85 which has an ingredient called Crelastine B which actually fights against forming stretch marks in the first place. It does help reduce the depth and the intensity of existing stretch marks, making the skin appear firmer and smoother.
With proper care with nutrition and exercise and treating your expanding belly to belly butters, etc. you are doing the very best you can. However, should stretch marks appear, there are creams targeted to deal with them that you can purchase.
