If you don't criticize, people will be angry! !
Let's start with the conclusion:
1. The brands that prevent/repair stretch marks described below are really risky. It will cause strong irritation to the skin, but it will not affect the fetus.
2, stretch marks products are also skin care products. Pay more attention to direct use in the abdomen! Effective preventive measures will also greatly reduce the appearance of stretch marks!
A book called "Universal Oil"
Get the first feeling: pungent fragrance!
Chemical oils such as liquid paraffin, triisononyl essence and cetearyl alcohol ethyl caproate are used as softening components. Think about your own gentleness.
Main anti-stretch marks ingredients: bisabolol, rosemary leaf oil, lavender oil, retinol palmitate.
Retinol palmitate (used with caution during pregnancy) is indeed a very effective external ingredient in terms of efficacy alone.
But is it safe and reliable for pregnant women to apply a large amount for a long time?
At present, no one has confirmed it. After all, no one is so immoral to experiment with pregnant women.
As for the use, I have to weigh it in my mind.
So it turns out that there are no products specially made for pregnant women. The ingredients are not enough, and the effect is even more impossible!
List of common ingredients used with caution during pregnancy
On the premise of ensuring the safety of components,
Let's talk about how to effectively prevent stretch marks.
Don't get pregnant too early
Studies have found that most people who are prone to stretch marks are those who are younger in pregnancy.
There is even a large study that age is an important factor leading to stretch marks.
Atwal, a foreign scholar, made Logistic regression analysis on the incidence and severity of stretch marks in 324 primiparas, and concluded that maternal age, basic body mass index, weight gain and newborn weight are independent risk factors for stretch marks, among which young age is the most prominent factor.
(The elderly mother stopped, probably with a big sigh of relief.
However, a few studies have shown that the incidence of stretch marks has little to do with the age of the product.
I'd rather believe that children under 20 should pay more attention to all aspects)
Find a mother with no stretch marks in her next life.
At present, people think that women with a family history of stretch marks are more likely to grow stretch marks.
Dr Olga Sa Zounova said in a recent study that heredity does increase the possibility of causing stretch marks.
The study included the DNA of more than 760,000 women and found that 544 "genetic markers" were related to the appearance of stretch marks.
This result was also mentioned in the previous literature. Some people speculate that stretch marks are related to individual genetic susceptibility. It is reported that 1 case of monozygotic twins with stretch marks, the expression of collagen and adhesin genes in the damaged parts decreased.
However, there are also reports that genetic defects similar to connective tissue, such as Marfan syndrome, emphasize the influence of genetic factors.
Control the amplitude and speed of weight gain during pregnancy
The risk of abdominal stretch marks in pregnant women whose weight gain exceeds IOM's recommended range is 5. 1.49 times higher than that in pregnant women whose weight gain is within the recommended range. People who gain more than 15 kg during pregnancy are more likely to have stretch marks;
The probability of abdominal stretch marks in pregnant women with uniform weight gain during pregnancy is only15.8% of that in pregnant women with uneven weight gain;
China HowNet also has related medical papers, which prove that proper control of the amplitude and speed of weight gain during pregnancy can effectively prevent stretch marks.
Keep regular and proper exercise.
The accumulation of less than 30 minutes of exercise every day is also an important factor leading to stretch marks:
First, regular exercise can effectively control the weight gain during pregnancy, or the abdominal muscle strength will be stronger, the skin elasticity will be better, and the accumulation of abdominal fat can be reduced.
Secondly, moderate exercise will also accelerate blood circulation, so that oxygen and moisture in blood can better reach skin cells and increase skin elasticity.
Likes: swimming, yoga. The simplest 30-minute walk after a meal also helps to control weight.
In addition to the effective measures mentioned above to prevent stretch marks, there are also many products on the market to prevent stretch marks.
Here are four common examples of stretch marks on the market:
Rejuvenation and pregnancy
In the past two years, the brand of pregnant women in Germany, which is emerging in China, has a good online evaluation. Here, let's analyze it carefully.
The products are developed by otto hahn Scientific Laboratory, and all meet EWG international safety standards.
All products contain edible folic acid imported from the Netherlands. Pregnant mothers know that oral folic acid during pregnancy can prevent fetal defects, and its importance to the body is self-evident.
Essence milk is light in texture and easy to push away. Although it is called essence milk, it does not have the sticky feeling of essence, and the skin is cool and comfortable.
(The specific situation must vary from person to person. And I didn't completely rely on the product, and my weight was well controlled throughout pregnancy ~)
Clarins care oil
Clarins is a well-known brand and an internationally renowned brand. Always claim that their products are for pregnant women only. And also created a series of exclusive care stretch marks for pregnant women.
The overall composition and organizational structure are very simple. The main products include European hazelnut seed oil, a vegetable oil with good moisture.
These ingredients are not skin-friendly in vegetable oil, and the skin feel will be slightly worse after being applied to the skin.
For example, other effective ingredients, such as geranium, geranium sunflower oil and rosemary leaf oil, have a certain preventive effect in theory, but there are also many mixed comments on the Internet. At present, there is great controversy about the use of rosemary in pregnant women's products.
The specific effect is also uncertain.
It is also necessary to mention that Clarins' products have a pungent smell. Those who have severe pregnancy reaction during pregnancy should be more cautious about such ingredients.
Kangaroo mama olive oil
A brand that has been well known by the public, but its reputation is not very good.
The skin feels oily and is not well absorbed.
One * * * added four ingredients, two non-skin-friendly base oils and two moisturizing and antioxidant ingredients.
How effective it can be on stretch marks should be measured in everyone's mind. Let's just say that moisturizing is no problem.
Analysis of four common products in the market:
Summary of prevention points:
Don't pin all your hopes of preventing stretch marks on practical products. It is also important to control your weight. The two complement each other!
Prevent stretch marks from being repaired! Once the stretch marks appear, no matter how advanced the technology, they can't be eliminated fundamentally!
Try not to let the skin dry during pregnancy, which will greatly weaken the elasticity of the skin. If you want to promote product absorption through massage, try to consult a doctor first and adopt the correct massage technique.
