Pregnancy Skin

A bit of biology…

As we get older, the skin's structure and properties change resulting in a loss of skin elasticity, firmness. These changes involve the organisation of collagen and elastic fibre in the dermis (middle layer of your skin).

What is a stretch mark?

When you become pregnant, the connecting fibres (collagen and elastic) in the dermis slowly stretch, most likely round your bump, boobs and thighs. Rapid growth can lead to sudden stretching of these connections beyond the limits of elasticity. This causes the dermis to tear, allowing deeper layers of the skin to show through. The visible effects of these tears are stretch marks.

What can I do to help protect against stretch marks?

It is important to protect the elastic fibres present in the skin as early as possible, especially across your tummy, boobs and thighs. A combination of; an increased level of skin's moisture and an improvement in it's elasticity therefore help to protect new stretch marks from forming. Our Tummy Rub Butter and Oil are clinically proven to increase skin's moisture content and improve skin elasticity.
