IT’S A STRETCH…

Stretch marks are very common, affecting about 80% of pregnant women. They appear as thin, itchy, red-to-purple, or brown streaks on the stomach, breasts, hips, or thighs during the second or third trimester due to rapid skin stretching, hormone changes, and genetics. While they fade to silvery, less noticeable scars after birth, they rarely disappear entirely.

Preventing stretch marks is debatable, many lotions and potions but in general your GP will advise you to keep your skin hydrated. Use moisturizing creams, oils, or balms containing ingredients like cocoa butter, shea butter, vitamin E, or hyaluronic acid to improve skin elasticity. Regular application (daily) and consistent hydration help reduce itching and potentially lessen severity.
