During pregnancy, women often form stretch marks (striae) - strips of burgundy and pale pink flowers on the skin of the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and even on the chest. Their appearance is caused by the unpreparedness of the skin for overstretching with an increase in the tummy and total body weight. Of course, stretch marks are easier to prevent than to treat later. But what if striae have already appeared? In the fight against them, traditional medicine and hardware cosmetology will help. You can learn more about how to remove stretch marks after childbirth.

One of the ways to eliminate stretch marks is special creams for stretch marks after childbirth. They will prevent the appearance of striae during pregnancy and reduce or remove already existing defects after childbirth. The selected product must meet certain requirements:

• composition: the cream should contain components that increase the elasticity of the skin, for example, collagen and elastin;
• safety: the product should not adversely affect the body;
• manufacturer: it is desirable that the manufacturer of the cream is well-known and proven.

The composition of creams

In order to get rid of striae, you need to understand how they appear. Stretch marks occur with tears of the inner layer of the skin. Such breaks are formed when there is a lack of collagen and elastin in the skin - substances that are responsible for elasticity. Therefore, these components should become the main components of the cream. In addition to increasing the ability to stretch, you need to take care of the nutrition of the skin and increase its moisture content.

Thus, the optimal cream should contain:

• collagen and elastin to increase skin elasticity or stimulants of their production;
• nutrients to preserve natural moisture, skin elasticity: B vitamins, vitamin A (retinol), unsaturated fatty acids (linoleic, linolenic, oleic) in the form of various oils, seaweed;
• antioxidants to protect against negative environmental influences, stresses: vitamin E, C in the form of wheat germ oil;
• regeneration activating substances;
• circulatory stimulants.

• hypoallergenic: it is important that the composition does not cause allergies in the mother and the child (in case of breastfeeding, the components of the cream can penetrate the baby s body);
• minimum smell and color: perfume, dyes, of course, add attractiveness to the cream, but can cause allergies to the baby or the mother's susceptible body;
• it is advisable to use a probe first: you need to check how the skin will react to the composition of the product, whether there will be allergies or other undesirable reactions.

How to use

The instructions for each product will indicate recommendations for use - how often to apply, what course of treatment, whether related procedures (peeling, etc.) are needed. For most products, the method of use is the same:

• the cream is applied with massage movements twice a day with a thin layer until completely absorbed in problem areas (stomach, hips, buttocks, chest, and, if necessary, forearms);
• period of use: within 2 to 3 months;
• the product is applied to clean skin (preferably used after a shower or bath);
• if a cesarean section was performed, the cream is not applied to the scar area until it heals.

What is special about cream for stretch marks

The main effect of all creams from stretch marks (to prevent them, as well as to eliminate small and fresh ones) is based on the maximum hydration of all layers of the skin, as well as on its impregnation with various active substances that enhance the regeneration of collagen fibers.

However, it should be understood that in many ways the process of stretch marks does not depend on external factors, but is due to genetic conditions.

Striae, figuratively speaking, are tears of the skin due to the fact that it does not have time to regenerate beyond the growth rate of the abdomen.

Therefore, it should be understood that it is difficult to influence this process, especially when stretch marks have already formed. The most effective methods in this case are methods that allow you to remove the epidermis as deep as possible, as far as the safety of such a procedure allows. For example, deep peeling, and better - laser exposure.

Factors that provoke the appearance of striae:

• Heredity, which determines the properties of the skin.  Women with low-pronged skin are subject to striae, more often it is thin. The content of collagen fibers and elastin is important: the more, the better all the layers are stretched.
• Age.  Over time, all processes in the body slow down. The older the woman, the higher the likelihood of striae formation in her.
• Skin condition.  Well-moistened collagen fibers are not so susceptible to various pressure fluctuations, they are less injured. Consequently, less striae is formed.
• Multiple pregnancy and large fetal development  almost always accompanied by stretch marks.
• Weight gain rate:  the more kilograms "come", the more striae will be.

It becomes clear that any cream is unlikely to drastically correct the situation. Therefore, some question their effectiveness.

How does cream help?

There are creams with different contents of active substances. Depending on this, their principle of action is different.

Creams with oils or glycerin

These are one of the popular and affordable tools for. The principle of action is that oils penetrate the surface and middle layers of the epidermis.  Here they are firmly strengthened due to the special structure of the skin. They cannot penetrate deep into the oil, since the basal layer contains a large amount of liquid, after some they do not diffuse.

As a result, a kind of protective film forms on the surface of the skin, which prevents excessive evaporation of moisture. This maintains the saturation of collagen fibers with liquid and, accordingly, the rate of formation of stretch marks is slightly reduced.

Silicone based

Silicone creates a fat-like layer in the upper layers of the epidermis, thereby also preventing the evaporation of moisture.

But this component is not as safe for the skin as oils or glycerin, so it is better not to use it for a long time.

Cream data is also popular. Typically, of all the most often found A, E, a little less often - C, D and others. The fact is that these active substances penetrate the entire depth of the skin, nourishing all cells and enhancing their ability to recover, increasing resistance to various negative influences. Also vitamins E, A and D are fat-soluble, i.e. they bind to fatty acids, attracting moisture.

In addition, this group directly affects the properties of the epidermis, increasing the duration of its functioning, and protects against adverse external factors.

Based on hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed proteins

Hyaluronic acid can be high and low molecular weight. The first penetrates to the dermis, binds there with various substances and adsorb water onto itself, "like a sponge." High molecular weight hyaluronic acid remains closer to the surface of the epidermis, works like oils and glycerin.

Hydrolyzed proteins already contain water molecules that they bring to different layers of the skin, thereby saturating it with moisture and making it more elastic, resistant to stretching.

When to start rubbing

Cream for tightening the abdomen after childbirth, it is advisable to start applying before pregnancy, during the planning period. After all, it is important to prepare the skin for excessive and intense stretching.

Typically, a line of cosmetics contains special products during the period of gestation, and then separate. Manufacturers try to take into account all factors and make the most optimized formulations.

It is necessary to understand that in order to achieve even a minimal result, you need to use the cream for several weeks and even months, and regularly.

It should be rubbed with soft massaging movements in places where correction is necessary. Before use, it is better to take a shower / bath, this will help the cream to penetrate the skin layers as efficiently and deeply as possible.

If there are any wounds on the skin after childbirth, no substances should be applied to their area until complete healing, as this can cause inflammation.

How to choose the right

It is important to choose the most effective and safe product for mom and baby. The following should be noted:

• The composition should include elastin and collagen, in addition various nutrients (vitamins), fatty acids, oils. The content of antioxidant complexes, at least vitamin C, group B and others, is also useful. If the manufacturer adds skin regenerators separately, this is a plus. Various blood circulation enhancing supplements are also effective.
• When choosing, you should give preference to creams that contain a minimum amount of various fragrances, fragrances and other substances that can cause a baby. Ideally, if you can start by trying a probe to track the reaction of the skin to the product.
