Use Stretch Marks Cream for Preventing Stretch Marks Too

A lot of women would start to use creams or lotions on their bellies, hips and thighs upon learning that they are pregnant. This is to decrease the chances that stretch marks will form.

Using regular creams may only help to a certain extent, in the sense that skin will not be dry and be prone to cracking. Other than this, it won’t do much to help the skin stretch further and resist tearing. This is why you will need to use stretch mark cream for this purpose.

Just be sure that you get a cream that has the ability to increase the skin’s elasticity as some stretch mark creams are made only for reducing the appearance of existing scars.
