Скачать или смотреть ✨ Honest truth about stretch marks in pregnancy ✨Most moms discover this too late —

🛑 Oil alone won’t prevent stretch marks.
❌ No cream or oil can guarantee zero stretch marks.

✅ But you can reduce their severity, itching, tearing & darkness — if you start on time.

🤰 Why stretch marks actually form

😮Stretch marks happen when skin stretches faster than it can repair , That repair depends on nutrition + hydration + skincare.
1.Genetics (yes — but not everything)
2.Rapid belly & breast expansion
3.Collagen breakdown
4.Dehydration
5.Protein deficiency
6.Vitamin C & zinc deficiency
7.Poor skin elasticity

✅What ACTUALLY helps
Eat for collagen — not just calories , Your skin needs building blocks:add more of :

1.Protein: dal, paneer, curd, eggs, tofu

2.Vitamin C: amla, oranges, lemon, guava

3.Zinc: pumpkin seeds, nuts, chana

4.Omega-3: walnuts, chia, flax

⚠️ Low protein = weaker skin = deeper stretch marks

Hydration is non-negotiableDehydrated skin tears faster.1.Sip water through the day2.Coconut water 3–4×/week3.Soups & water-rich fruits

Dry skin stretches poorly.

🧴 Oil application — the RIGHT wayOils improve elasticity & reduce itching (not miracle prevention).
Best oils:1.Almond oil2.Coconut oil3.Vitamin E oil (few drops mixed)

📌 Apply:• After shower on damp skin• Gentle massage (no aggressive rubbing)• Twice daily
❌ Oiling dry skin = poor absorption

⚖️ Control sudden weight gainRapid gain = sudden skin stretch.1.Eat every 3–4 hours2.Focus on nutrient-dense meals❌ Don’t “eat for two”

⏰ Start early — not in the 9th monthStretch-mark care should begin from 2nd trimester onwards.Waiting till the last month is often too late.

🚫 Don’t scratch itchy skinScratching damages skin fibers and deepens marks.Instead:1.Hydrate2.Oil regularly3.Check iron & vitamin deficiencies

❌ What DOESN’T really work
1.Expensive creams alone2.Random home remedies3.Panic oiling in the last month4.Starving to avoid weight gain
