Hi mama!
How are you today? The countdown has begun at HQ! I can smell the holidays already 🤤
Mama, make a promise to thoroughly rest while caring for your family. Being a mother isn't a day’s job. Spoil yourself silly this holiday! 😘
Let's get into today’s treat.
How To Treat Postpartum Stretch Marks
Carrying a baby for 9 months isn't an easy task. Mama, you sacrificed your emotional, mental and physical health to bring your baby to life. This isn't a small feat but a huge accomplishment.
During and after pregnancy, you may experience stretch marks, which can become challenging to fade.
There isn't any cream or ointment to make your stretch marks disappear permanently. They can only be managed. Also, newer stretch marks heal faster and blend with your skin.
Here are safe options for fading stretch marks:
Apply and massage moisturizers on them regularly
Laser therapy
Microneedling and Microdermabrasion
Use creams that contain hyaluronic acid
Prescription creams with tretinoin (Speak with your dermatologist first)
Stretch marks take a lot of time to heal and fade. Take it a day at a time, mama.
