I don’t have stretch marks when I was pregnant, but a few months after labor when I had successfully shed off about 15kg, I began to have some marks on my thighs. They are no obvious, but I can see them clearly! Maybe I’m just being too particular about myself, and actually, they are not that severe.
But we will have to take good care of our skin so that we will have even skin tone without all those stretch marks as we age. If you are planning to lose some weight, you better start preventing those marks from appearing by following these steps.
- Exfoliate: It’s best to remove those dead skin cell on your body at least once a week. I am using the body scrub from The Body Shop and it’s great.
- Moisturize: I know that it’s very tiring and troublesome to put lotion on all over our bodies twice a day after shower. If you are really busy, just do it whenever you remember. I skip this step too, but I’m trying my best to “force” myself of applying lotion on my body, especially the thighs and tummy now. You can get body moisturizers or those anti cellulite and stretch mark creams if you prefer. I have one from Lucy Belle, but I hope to try out those products from Clarins once I’ve finished mine.
- Massage: Again, I know this is troublesome! That’s why I engage myself in spa and body massage so that I can get some pampering and let the masseur to take good care of my skin. LOL! I really don’t have time for DIY massage everyday now.
In short, a lady woman is hardly beautiful. If you want to look good in chemises, such as shown in this photo :
Let’s get started with these steps now.
