Reduces stretch marks with prickly pear oil

We know that stretch marks are a natural part of our body; however, many of us feel uncomfortable seeing them constantly. Stretch marks are small streaks or thin lines that can be red or whitish in color. They are usually found on the abdomen, breasts, hips, thighs, and buttocks. According to dermatologists, stretch marks are nothing more than collagen tears that are visible on the surface of the skin.

What causes stretch marks?

Stretch marks are caused by the stretching of the skin, which is usually triggered by weight gain, rapid weight loss, or pregnancy. Some people also develop them due to breast enlargement, hormonal problems, puberty, genetic disorders, or taking certain medications.

Technically, it can be explained that stretch marks form after the tearing of the dermis, which is the tissue layer responsible for maintaining the skin's shape. This happens especially when there is an increase in cortisone. Cortisone can affect the skin's flexibility by preventing skin cells from synthesizing collagen and elastin fibers that keep the skin elastic, firm, and tight, leading to the formation of stretch marks.

How to prevent the appearance of stretch marks? 

We cannot guarantee that you won't get stretch marks, because there are genetic conditions that make you more prone to these stretch lines. However, there are care tips that could help you prevent them, and we will explain them to you here.

Avoid sudden weight changes

Obviously this is not difficult during pregnancy, but it can still be achieved. If during your pregnancy you keep eating healthy and exercising, you can avoid rapid weight gain. The normal weight gain during pregnancy is 2 kilos per month. Additionally, exercise also helps maintain good blood flow to the skin, necessary for healthy skin cells.

Hydrate your skin 

Keeping your skin hydrated is important to maintain its elasticity. Hydrated skin is more resilient. Be sure to apply oils and creams daily to keep your skin hydrated, especially during pregnancy. Also, drink plenty of water; at least 2 liters of water daily are important to stay healthy.

Exfoliate your skin 

It is advisable to exfoliate the skin once a week to remove all dead cells and to allow moisturizing products to penetrate better. Exfoliating the skin is a very important step to achieve significant changes in the skin.
