What Are Stretch Marks?

When your skin stretches rapidly in a short period of time, it can cause tiny tears in its elastic fibers. As each tear heals, a scar develops. These scars are called stretch marks. Stretch marks often occur during pregnancy. But that isn’t the only time you may experience them. They may also develop during growth spurts in adolescence, weight gain, or when using certain medications that affect skin elasticity. At first, your stretch marks may feel raised and itchy. Over time, the color will fade and the scar will fall below the surface of your skin, leaving a slight depression.

Are Stretch Marks Permanent?

Stretch marks are scars, and while they fade over time and become less visible, they rarely disappear completely. With treatment, you can minimize their appearance so you feel better about how your skin looks. The earlier you begin treating the stretch marks, the better. Fresh scars are easier to fade than old ones that have gone deeper into your skin. Many women start using stretch mark cream while they’re still pregnant to promote healing. It can help prevent the appearance of new stretch marks and minimize existing ones.

Can Stretch Marks Be Prevented?

While there’s no guaranteed way to prevent all stretch marks, you can take some steps to reduce your chances of getting them. Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using moisturizing creams or oils Maintain a healthy weight during pregnancy and avoid excessive weight gain Exercise regularly to keep your skin elastic and flexible Follow a nutritious diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E, which help maintain healthy skin Avoid harsh chemicals that can dry out the skin or cause irritation Massage the skin with a gentle, circular motion to improve circulation Use products specially formulated to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, such as the Stretch Marks Cream from Mustela

What’s In Stretch Marks Cream from Mustela?

Stretch Marks Cream is formulated from 96% ingredients of natural origin per ISO 16128 standard, each chosen for its healing properties. Avocado Peptides help keep your skin smooth and supple, while the Maracuja Polyphenols from passion fruit help improve blood flow. Hamamelis Plant Extract (witch hazel) helps keep your skin elastic and flexible while it expands. Other plant-based ingredients keep your skin hydrated and strengthen your natural skin barrier. When you apply Mustela Stretch Marks Cream, you’re nourishing your skin with the best that nature offers. Our formula contains no parabens, phenoxyethanol, or phthalates, so you can feel good about using it during pregnancy.

How To Use Mustela’s Stretch Marks Cream

Our naturally derived formula is safe for use from the beginning of your pregnancy to the end. You can apply it to your abdomen, hips, thighs, and breasts as soon as you find out you’re expecting. For best results, use our Stretch Marks Cream regularly. We recommend applying it twice a day — in the morning and evening — to help minimize the appearance of stretch marks. You can keep using this product after delivery. It’s compatible with breastfeeding. However, you don’t want to apply it to recent cesarean scars, so if you had a c-section, wait until your incision has fully healed before using this cream in that area.
