Pregnant, do you have distended skin due to pregnancy?
To slow down and prevent the appearance of stretch marks, here are some healthy tips to nourish and protect your skin naturally.
Do you look like a zebra?
Moms know it, it is almost impossible to remove existing stretch marks.
On the other hand, anticipating their appearance and their development is more than advisable. Prevention first.
I had recommended this oil to my sister-in-law when she became pregnant.
I mix 75mL of avocado oil with 20 drops of lemon essential oil.
Must be shaken before each use.
It is then necessary to massage every evening belly, hips, breasts and buttocks with this oil, in rolling-palpated.
Rich in vitamins A and B, avocado oil is irreplaceable for deeply nourishing the skin.
However, you can replace it with cheaper sweet almond oil, which is also a very good ally for preserving the elasticity of the skin.
You can also of course fade your stretch marks by preparing a cooking cream:
Mash an avocado, add a tablespoon of lemon juice, and one of honey.
Particularly recommended for pregnant women, water aerobics is a pleasant, non-binding and practical sport.
Once in the water at chest height, walking is already very profitable.
At sea, it's one more pleasure.
Take the opportunity to do small exercises.
Hop we go up a leg a dozen times (flexed then stretched), hop we squat slightly.
You can also stand by the pool and pedal with your legs.
Be careful, it's a sport and it's quite tiring but your silhouette will be firmer and more beautiful.
Clay poultices on the stomach and buttocks work wonders. on the other hand, we do not yet know the consequences on pregnancy.
It is therefore better to favor cabbage poultices, which have the same virtues as clay:it sucks up waste and helps to fill in the gaps to regenerate the skin.
Very green and fresh savoy cabbage leaves are the most effective.
- I wash the leaves and remove the larger veins.
- I then dip them in a bowl of hot water to soften them.
- I then take my rolling pin and roll it over the leaves to break up the cells.
- When their juice pearls on the surface, I place them directly on the area to be treated, overlapping them.
- I then cover with a strip and keep my poultice on all night or renew it approximately every hour during the day.
A balanced diet is of course necessary to avoid too rapid weight gain and to balance the hormonal system.
Choose vegetables and fruits, especially spinach and almonds.
Wheat germ must also have its place in your kitchen.
It is a perfect food supplement for tissue hydration.
Olive oil will also be your ally in salads.
