Avoid Getting Stretch Marks During Pregnancy

Raw, Organic Shea Butter for Preventing Stretch Marks 

Stretch marks are pretty common in pregnancy, and they may be challenging to treat. Luckily, shea butter can help women to prevent the development of stretch marks in the first place. Shea butter products rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, plant sterols, and vitamins can undoubtedly lend you a helping hand in avoiding stretch marks associated with pregnancy. 

Benefits of Shea Butter Before and After Pregnancy 

Moisturizes and Smoothen Your Skin 

Shea butter is richly packed with fatty acids and vitamin E that gives excellent moisturizing effects. Moreover, the modest amounts of stearic, palmitic, linoleic, and oleic acids in unrefined shea butter also helps to soften skin surfaces. These effects are beneficial for pregnant women as it helps to prevent dry or coarse skin texture. 

Avoid Tearing of Skin Dermis 

During pregnancy, your baby bump's rapid growth and expansion increase the risk of skin dermis tear. Stretch marks are essentially the consequences of a tear in the dermis. Shea butter helps avoid skin dermis tears with its rich vitamin A and E content. These vitamins promote cell growth and eliminate free radicals from your skin. As a result, your skin will become more flexible, allowing it to accommodate the expansion of your body better. 

How Shea Butter Prevents Stretch Marks

Skin surfaces with stretch marks often have damaged elastin and collagen. Shea butter containing non-saponifiable matter and vitamin F helps to increase collagen production and avoid these damages during pregnancy. Moreover, shea butter also repairs any existing elastin or collagen damages. That said, regular shea butter application maintains and protects the health of your skin from any further damages.  

How to Use Shea Butter to Avoid Getting Stretch Marks 

  1. Firstly, make sure your skin is dry and clean. If not, use a mild soap to wash your skin and dry it off with a towel.

  2. Next, take sufficient amounts of shea butter and heat it over low heat.

  3. Then, put the shea butter on your palms and rub it together. 

  4. Apply the shea butter across your stomach 

  5. Massage your skin slowly and gently in kneads to maintain healthy circulation and keep your skin supple.

  6. After the shea butter has absorbed itself into your skin, you can carry on with your day as per usual 

  7. Please note that it’s recommended for you to use shea butter continuously for a few months to obtain optimal results
