So the happiest event in life happened - the baby was born. Happiness literally overwhelms a young mother and nothing can spoil her wonderful mood: neither excess weight, nor skin on her stomach, which still looks like an unnecessary fold. But, giving all of himself to the child, you need to take care of yourself, because he needs a beautiful and healthy mother.

How to prevent sagging skin on the stomach

The most important thing that prevents postpartum sagging of the abdomen is a good tone of the abdominal muscles. And also important is the turgor of the skin and the size of the fat layer on the stomach. You can only envy those women whose belly was not covered with stretch marks during pregnancy: when their baby turns one month old, the abdominal wall of the mother already has a toned and elastic look. Firstly, this feature is genetically incorporated, and secondly, regular exercise before pregnancy also plays a positive role. Therefore, if you are only planning a pregnancy, start pumping, running, swimming, doing yoga, in general, be as active as possible while you have such an opportunity. After giving birth, it will be easier for you to get back in shape.

But most often you can not see the most aesthetically attractive picture: the muscles of the abdominal muscles relaxed during pregnancy can not contract and tighten saggy skin, the excess weight gained treacherously sticks out with a fat fold on the stomach, and the waist leaves much to be desired.

However, you should not be upset about this. There are many very effective ways that will help you quickly regain your former slim silhouette. First of all, you need to remember that any problem is most effectively solved with an integrated approach to its elimination. So, to combat a sagging stomach, it is advisable to use several methods at once.

When can I start getting back in shape?

Even if a mother led an active, sporty lifestyle before pregnancy, in no case should one begin to exercise immediately after returning from the hospital. At a minimum, you will have to wait out the so-called postpartum recovery period, which lasts 4-6 weeks.

The fact is that an immediate and serious load on the relaxed abdominal muscles can lead to the opposite result, so forget about your figure for the first time. With a diet, you also have to wait a while if you are breastfeeding. By the way, experienced obstetrician-gynecologists advise not to start physical exercises at all during the first 2 months, if the birth occurred naturally, and if a cesarean section was used, then you will have to wait six months at all.

What to do at this time? Yes, just deal with the baby, get used to your new position, the role of a young mother. The only thing that doctors advise during this period is to wear a special postpartum bandage, which helps to maintain and strengthen the abdominal muscles and in a passive way, without stress, tightens the skin. And, of course, we need to walk more with the baby: this will allow mom to stretch, and fresh air will be useful to both.

Daily routines to help clean your stomach

First of all, remember that any activity should be a regular, and not a one-time, temporary measure. Therefore, we stock up on patience and begin:

Proper nutrition for a toned abs

Everything is simple here, you just need to follow the general rules of losing weight: exclude everything fatty, sweet, flour, smoked, prefer fish to meat dishes, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. But the most important thing is that you can start a diet only at the end of breastfeeding, otherwise the baby will not receive the substances necessary for its normal development.

What to do if the stomach does not go away

With the right combination of exercises, diet and massage, it is usually possible to achieve the desired result. But sometimes (though very rarely) the abdomen can even slightly increase: this is due to excessive force on the muscles, when muscle mass is excessively increased. Therefore, you should not overexert, enough regular, but not exhausting exercises, so that the figure returns to normal.

Procedures: RF lifting, LPG - massage, electrolipolysis, myostimulation, and much more. But this is a completely different story.

There is probably no woman in the world who does not want to have a taut, flat tummy. However, often due to various circumstances, for example, with a sharp weight loss or sagging of the skin of the abdomen after childbirth, the areas in the waist area become stretched and flabby. To restore the stomach to its former elasticity, one desire and hope for physiology is not enough. For a beautiful figure you need to "fight." One of the methods of care is the use of cream for tightening the skin of the abdomen.

Appointment

The reasons for the decrease in skin elasticity may be different. The skin of the abdomen needs correction with the help of lifting means in the following cases:

• After childbirth. During pregnancy, the skin is stretched gradually and it will take time to recover. A firming cream will help normalize a saggy stomach after childbirth.
• Due to age-related changes. Over the years, the body slows down the synthesis of elastin and collagen, as well as the processes of blood circulation and nutrition, due to which the skin on the stomach lose elasticity.


• After a sharp weight loss. Fluctuations in body weight during diets negatively affect the waist. It is noticed that the loss of 5 kg of weight already leads to sagging skin of the most problematic areas, for example, the abdomen.
• Due to the effect on the skin of an excessive dose of ultraviolet radiation. Photoaging of the skin occurs (the lipid barrier decreases, structural proteins are destroyed, and the skin ceases to be elastic). Such a negative effect accumulates over the years.

Many creams and masks for elasticity of the skin of the abdomen also treat striae (stretch marks), scars and scars.

When using tightening masks and creams, one should not forget that a more comprehensive approach to the problem will bring more chances to achieve the desired result: physical exercises, massage, diet and the right drinking regimen should be added to cosmetic procedures.

Good day, dear readers!

The topic of my review today will be of interest to young mothers who are trying to restore their shape after a recent birth. Let me tell you about the wonderful firming body cream of the famous Bulgarian brand Maternea, which is good in that it helps not only restore skin tone, but also minimize the appearance of cellulite.

Perhaps I will start by drawing the attention of readers to the country of origin of the cream, because it is Bulgarian creams that have long been popular in the Russian market due to the effect they produce. In addition, all Maternea cosmetics are designed to care for the skin of women during pregnancy and after childbirth, which means that it is absolutely safe not only for mom, but also for her baby. It is for this reason that Matetnea tightening body cream for mom can be used by mom while breastfeeding without risking harm to the baby.

I propose to consider the composition of the care product:

Aqua, Glycerin1, Isopropyl Palmitate2, Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride1, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate2, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Pentylene Glycol, Polyglucoronic Acid2, Polyearobuta Polyemobuta Polyemobut, Polyearobut Octyldodecanol, Ascorbyl Palmitate2 / vit.C /, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Xanthan Gum1, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzoic Acid, Sorbic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide.

1 vegetable / vegetable
2 natural origin / nature-based
3 biodegradable chelating agent / biodegradable chelating agent

As can be seen from the above description, Maternea firming cream consists mainly of natural ingredients. The product is based on shea butter, polyglucuronic acid and vitamin C. A few words about the effect on the skin of each of these components:

Natural shea butter is extracted from the pulp of the fruits of the African shea tree. It contains a large amount of fatty acids and vitamins A, E and F, which are especially important for the restoration and hydration of the skin. These active ingredients in a natural way deeply moisturize the skin, smooth its surface and help maintain water balance. They activate cellular metabolism, stimulate the synthesis of their own collagen and help restore damaged skin structures damaged by stretch marks and body fat.

Polyglucoronic acid has a clinically proven tightening effect. Soothes the skin and strengthens its structure. Minimizes body fat generated during pregnancy.

Vitamin C in fat-soluble form is involved in the synthesis of collagen fibers. Being a powerful antioxidant, this vitamin successfully prevents some cellular aging processes, takes part in cellular metabolism and promotes faster cell recovery from various skin lesions.

Materna Firming Cream is available in a plastic tube with a hinged lid, such as a flip top, which is convenient and practical to use. The product is easily squeezed out of the plastic tube with one hand.

Since Maternea Cream was specially developed for nursing mothers, its hypoallergenic formula is free from any perfumes and parabens.

The texture of the cream is light, which allows it to be well distributed to the skin of problem areas. It is absorbed quickly enough, does not leave marks on underwear and clothes. After applying the Materna cream, the skin becomes incredibly soft and soft to the touch (noticed not only by me, but also by my husband, which is doubly pleasant). Well, and most importantly - with regular use, this remedy really works - after a month of daily application, the skin relief on the back of the thigh and abdomen noticeably smoothed, which I was extremely happy about. The skin has become noticeably more firm and supple.

Due to the thick consistency, the cream is consumed quite sparingly; one pack of cream with a volume of 150 ml was enough for me for just 2 months of regular use. However, I do not deny that someone may need a second package.

To summarize, it remains to add that despite the rather rather high cost, the Maternea firming cream in action has proved that it deserves its money. Therefore, without further ado, I recommend this tool to all young mothers. And of course, the effect of applying the cream will be much more noticeable with proper nutrition of the mother in combination with moderate physical exertion, such as, for example, a long walk with a stroller.

Take care of yourself and be beautiful!

If the only reason pushing you from the birth of the most priceless treasure - the child - is fear of the effects of stretch marks on the stomachthen after reading this article you will forget about it completely.

The problem with such consequences can be solved completely, and this is proved by the huge number of mothers who at different ages kept their bodies in perfect condition even after the birth of a second, third, or even several babies. Especially since you can do it if you listen to our advice taken from real life.

Stretch marks on the abdomen after childbirth are not a symptom of an incurable disease. Often, prevention carried out during pregnancy and growth of the tummy often helps to eliminate the problem.

Alas, some young, and even mothers of age, believe that the birth of a baby makes them one and only, and they should be loved "as they are." Often the consequences of this attitude to motherhood are not only stretch marks on the stomach.

It is these “mothers” who begin to lose their waist and grow fat, forget that only physical activity helps to preserve the size of their wardrobe (which, by the way, significantly saves the family budget), but also the views of men on the street, and the envy of rivals.

Physical activity  It does not imply only regular exercise or visiting the fitness room. You should definitely walk with the baby in the fresh air and walk as much as possible. To do this, in the cities there are enough specially equipped squares and parks, and even in the village, walking with a child should not be limited to sitting on a bench by the gate with obligatory seeds.

If you live in a big city, choose places with lots of green spaces. Clean air contributes not only to the health of the mother, but also very useful for the child.

Exercise number 1

Lie on your back. At the same time, raise your legs and torso above the horizon approximately 15-20 centimeters from the floor, while making sharp breaths in and out of your stomach so that it rises and falls. If at first you feel heavy, start with your legs bent at the knees. The time to complete the exercise should start from 10-15 seconds, gradually bringing to 2-4 minutes.

Exercise number 2

Lying on your stomach, take emphasis, leaning on socks and elbows. In this position, maximize the abdominal and buttock muscles. Start with 20-30 seconds, increasing the time to 4-5 minutes.

Exercise number 3

The same emphasis in the position on the stomach, but use one forearm and legs as a fulcrum. A few minutes is enough.

The recommendations that we give below will require you not only to take time for yourself, but also to find for your baby someone who can sit with him at home or take a walk on the street with a stroller while you visit the beauty salon.

A few words about massage

Massage from stretch marks on the stomach can be done at home. It is very simple and does not require any special knowledge. In fact, all massage procedures are reduced to superficial actions that restore skin firmness and elasticity. It can be: tingling, rubbing and stroking.

For deep massage you will need specialist help. Usually in beauty salons this service is offered quite often.

An excellent massage tool at home is shower. Water jets act on the skin and help to remove stretch marks. Just give problem areas a little more time, and instead of just soaking the floor with water jets, purposefully direct them to your problem areas with stretch marks. This method, by the way, will help not only from stretch marks on the stomach, but will also contribute to their elimination in other areas of the body.

The secret of the action that the mummy has is hidden in a complex effect on the body. The advantage of this tool is in its absolute safety, which allows it to be used both during pregnancy and when breastfeeding a baby.

An effective remedy not only for the treatment of already existing stretch marks, but also for prevention  from their formation on the skin.

The answer will be quite simple. Everything that manufacturers of special cosmetics for removing stretch marks on the stomach previously goes through is thoroughly tested for safety for your health.

Such products do not appear on the market: without research in their own laboratories, which sometimes takes years; without verification at regulatory authorities responsible for healthcare; without very serious material costs for the organization and control of production safety.

Trading companies today are able to offer a fairly large number of all kinds of creams, balms, scrubs, masks, means for wrapping and many other things that really effectively eliminates postpartum stretch marks. Their action is based on stimulation of the natural processes of regeneration of skin cells, cure of existing stretch marks and preventing the appearance of new ones.

Among these tools, you need to highlight cream pasjel. It consists exclusively of natural ingredients, the main of which is an extract of Asian centella. It helps to accelerate the healing of damaged areas of the skin and gives it elasticity.

Another active ingredient is Gotu Kola extract. Its action is based on the acceleration of metabolic processes at the cellular level, which accelerates the processes of collagen reproduction.

The problem of skin sagging can affect not only overweight people, but also slender ones. The causes of this aesthetic problem can be various, and the return of the abdomen tightness can be achieved only by complex methods. The techniques for tightening the skin on the abdomen will differ depending on the degree of sagging and the cause of sagging.

Causes of sagging abdomen

Regardless of the overall physique, the skin on the abdomen may lose elasticity over time.

There may be several reasons:

• Loss of elasticity with age.
• Increased pregnancy and weight gain. The skin does not have time to stretch and contract with sudden jumps in weight.
• Sharp weight loss, in which the skin does not have time to return to its original state.

Violation of metabolic processes in the body leads to a deterioration in the structure of the skin and significantly reduces its moisture level, which leads to the appearance of flabby folds.

Is it possible to tighten stretched skin after childbirth, losing weight?

Work on the skin condition to return its elasticity should be comprehensive and aimed at simultaneously moisturizing and toning the abdominal muscles. With a sharp decrease in abdominal volume that occurs after childbirth and rapid weight loss, the body area decreases, and the length of the elastin and collagen fibers remains excessive.

To find a perfectly flat stomach, you will need to put a lot of effort and time.

With an integrated approach and regular procedures, you can achieve a good result even in advanced cases.

In nutrition, especially for stable and not dramatic weight loss, it is important to adhere to the correct ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the diet. Proteins are necessary for toning skin tissues and their consumption should be per 1 kg of body weight of about 1-2 g.

Fats provide the skin with an elastic structure, however, when using them, it is important to take into account high calorie content. The norm per day should be 30 g.

It should be vegetable fats, and it is better to refrain from consuming mayonnaise and margarine. Carbohydrates should be difficult to digest, which do not lead to weight gain, but serve to nourish the body with energy: vegetables, bran bread, cereals.

Water treatments

Water massage promotes a powerful rush of blood and its circulation in the body. Due to this, the process of entering the necessary substances to the tissues is normalized, which improves skin elasticity. Massage is carried out with a powerful jet of water in the direction of the clockwise movement for 10-15 minutes.

When choosing funds, you should pay attention to the composition and special preference to give creams, which include caffeine, spirulina extract, hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin.

Wraps

The saturation of the skin with useful substances occurs when performing regular wraps. Thanks to the additional creation of a warming effect, fat burning processes will be accelerated, and skin elasticity will be restored.

To conduct a vacuum massage, moisturize the skin with oil, squeeze tightly a silicone jar and firmly press it to the skin. After part of the skin fills the jar, slowly move it along the trajectories: clockwise and from the navel to the sides.

Wearing corsets

Corrective and tightening corsets will not help with the problem of excess weight in the waist and sagging skin. Wearing them creates only an external effect, not eliminating the very problem of sagging. Corsets are not an effective method of dealing with loss of elasticity, however, when they are worn, a habit appears to keep the abdominal muscles in tension, which will additionally tighten the overall silhouette.

Ice treatments

Ice is one of the simple but powerful means to tone the skin. This method speeds up the flow of metabolic processes in the skin and improves blood circulation. Under the influence of the cold, the blood vessels of the upper layers narrow and expand in the deeper layers.

For home cryomassage with ice cubes, it is best to use mineral water enriched with useful components. Ice can also be prepared from various decoctions of herbs, thereby contributing to the process of rapid cell renewal. The procedure should be carried out on cleansed skin, slowly conducting cubes along the massage lines until completely melting.

Cold and hot shower

How to tighten the skin on the abdomen at home will suggest recommendations regarding water procedures aimed at creating sharp fluctuations in temperature.

This will help to eliminate stagnation, accelerate blood circulation, increase the elasticity of the skin. The procedure consists in sequential alternation of hot water with a tolerable temperature (1 min.) And cold (room temperature) water for 30 seconds.

The composition of the administered cocktail should be selected by a cosmetologist, assessing the degree of problem of sagging skin. Thanks to the action of active components, the internal reserves of the skin are activated, as a result of which a visible effect is achieved.

Fractional RF lifting

The procedure consists in the simultaneous penetration of a large number of needles and the appearance of a radio wave pulse between them. Thanks to this, the problem of sagging skin is eliminated and its regeneration occurs.

Photothermolysis

The skin on the abdomen can be tightened with the help of a laser - the photothermolysis procedure. Laser resurfacing has the ability to correct the direction of action, so that you can act on small areas of the body. This is especially convenient in the presence of stretch marks and simultaneous sagging skin. A procedure such as photothermolysis has a minimal amount of side effects.
