12 Best Ways to Take Care of Pregnancy Stretch Marks

Massage with Oil

Massage the skin of your hips, belly, and other areas that are prone to stretch marks with oil after pregnancy. Studies show that massaging your skin regularly may increase blood flow and break up the scar tissue that leads to stretch marks. Doctors advise people to use heal oil, such as Mustela’s Stretch Marks Oil to decrease friction during the massage and give your skin the right amount of vitamins and minerals required to keep it healthy.

Apply some oil to the palms of your hands and then gently massage your belly. Massage this area for two minutes, and reapply the oil when needed. After massaging for two minutes, you can move to another area with stretch marks and repeat the process.

For extra healing, ensure you fry soaking in a warm bath for at least ten minutes or take a warm shower before your massage to soften your skin and open up your toes.
