Beautiful breasts are considered the greatest asset of every woman. Well-groomed attract attention. Pregnancy, excessive dieting, weight gain or stress have a bad effect on the appearance of our breasts. Stretch marks on the breasts, i.e. unsightly pink or red stripes on the skin, can appear not only in future mothers or mature women. The problem is increasingly affecting young girls as well. How to act so that stretch marks on the breasts do not affect us, what to do if they appear?
In most cases, stretch marks on the breasts affect expectant mothers. The hormones secreted at this time affect the structure of our skin, it is not without significance that we gain weight faster than normal. In young girls or women who are not pregnant, stress is of great importance. The adrenal cortex then produces an excess of a hormone called cortisol, which negatively affects fibroblasts, i.e. skin cells, reducing their elasticity by reducing the production of collagen and elastin. It is for this reason that the skin becomes dry, stiffer and stretch marks appear. During pregnancy, the breasts undergo a great metamorphosis. Their size can increase by up to three sizes. The skin stretches too much and if it is not properly cared for, cortisone levels rise rapidly, reducing its resistance to stretching. Pregnant breasts need to grow as they prepare to feed the baby and produce milk.
Stretch marks are not only a problem of lack of proper care, they can be genetically determined. If you know that your mother, grandmother or sister had stretch marks, it is rather certain that you will not miss them either. The principle that prevention is better than cure is important, so follow it. These rules also apply to non-pregnant women who struggle with the problem of ugly red stripes. First of all, it is important to choose the right anti-stretch mark preparation for you, it can be a lotion or cream. These are preparations dedicated to this particular part of the body. They have a moisturizing and firming effect, do not allow the skin to dry out excessively and crack due to stretching. They make it more flexible. Future mothers should read the composition of creams and avoid chestnut extract and caffeine in them.
Breast stabilization is extremely important during this period, a properly selected bra will allow your breasts to safely survive the day. If your breasts have become very large, you can also sleep in a bra. It is important to prevent the force of gravity. A pleasant procedure that every woman can perform at home is a breast massage, it supports circulation and stimulates skin cells to produce collagen. Massage your breasts gently, e.g. in the shower. You can do it with your hands, spreading the appropriate preparation on the breasts, or use the recommended devices. And as in the case of choosing preparations for stretch marks, expectant mothers must pay special attention to the method of massaging. Avoid massaging the nipples, as overstimulation will cause the release of oxytocin, which can lead to premature contractions.
Every woman would like to have beautiful breasts, there are many ways to achieve it. All methods of preventing stretch marks need to be strengthened with a properly balanced diet, avoid gaining weight and losing weight too quickly. Once stretch marks appear, they will be much more difficult to eliminate.
