Stretch mark prevention, treatment, and removal
Medical News Today examines stretch marks and provides tips for avoiding them during pregnancy. They suggest:
– Water: ingested during pregnancy, keeping skin hydrated decreases the chance a woman will get stretch marks.
– Scratching: as your stomach expands, the skin may become scratchy. Do not scratch; instead, rub lotion or powder on to alleviate the itchiness.
– Exercise: daily to keep your skin supple and free from toxins. This will help by toning the skin of your body and increasing its elasticity.
