Stretch marks

Can you prevent stretch marks? A stretch mark is a type of scar that comes from the skin being stretched too rapidly for the skins collagen and elastin, causing these fibers to rupture.  Afterwards, when healing, a “scar” or stretch mark will appear. Other factors that play a role are hormones, and if it already runs in your family. I think the best way to prevent them if they are preventable in your individual case is to “FEED YOUR SKIN!”;  Make sure that your skin has enough moisture, make sure your collagen has all that it needs to create new cells and stay healthy. When thinking about optimal health of our skin then of course blood circulation and oxygen are also important so.. sport (especially deep abdominal muscle training) and good breathing are of great value!  But if you do get them, just try to “love” them b/c there is not a lot you can do to get rid of them.

MSM Vital Care Lotion from Life Plus®

There is a great lotion to help feed your skin: MSM Plus Vital Care Lotion. It keeps your skin soft and supple during and after your pregnancy. 

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural organic sulfur compound. It is necessary for the production of healthy collagen. Sagging skin, wrinkels, dry skin or cracked skin develop because of a loss of collagen. MSM helps build new tissues and can really improve your skins health. You can use it everywhere you like, there is no harm in it. It is also really great for any skin irritations, rashes and eczema, it reduces itchiness and inflammation.  Mothers in Motion promotes this lotion because of its unique top quality and natural ingredients.  Unlike many oils that women use for their stomachs and skin, another benefit is that it does not stain and make your clothes or hair oily or dirty when they come in contact with this lotion. Ask Stephanie (info@mothersinmotion.nl) about the lotion if you are interested. It costs € 33,50 (9%VAT incl.) for 242ml and you can buy it by Mothers in Motion.
