What are stretch marks?

When the skin is excessively stretched, the combination of collagen fibers partially breaks down, creating stretch marks. They usually form on the skin of youngsters who are growing rapidly; during pregnancy when the body changes drastically because of hormones; and after repeated weight fluctuation. Stretch marks mostly form on the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms. During pregnancy, they largely form on the abdomen and breasts. First, they would look violet and after some time, they would turn white.
Once they start forming, it is not easy to recover the original state of the skin.
As such, it is important to prevent stretch marks and maintain the skin's balance and smoothness.

Firmness boosting massage for pregnant women

To take care of the skin, regularly massage to encourage skin firmness boosting effects and smooth skin circulation. From after the third month of pregnancy, skin starts to slowly change. As such, gently massage to maintain skin's elasticity.
*For best results, please avoid massaging from the beginning of pregnancy to three months and toward the end of pregnancy (three weeks before giving birth).

• Abdomen massage Place hands together and gently and evenly massage, drawing large circles onto skin while going clockwise.
• Breast massage Use one hand to support one breast. Massage from the sides to the center and then go up. Gently massage up to the shoulders.
• Thighs and buttocks massage Massage from the knees to the upper part of the thighs.
  Massage the buttocks, drawing large circles onto the skin. Massage from the bottom going up.

How to use

Gently apply onto skin and massage the entire body, including the abdomen, thighs, breasts, and buttocks-body parts that need intensive care-in the morning and evening. If skin feels dry or if you are halfway through pregnancy (after 15 weeks), apply the product frequently.
(Tip: For best results, use it with the Maternity Care Massage Oil.)

• Whenever the abdomen, breasts, buttocks, the front and back of thighs, and arms feel dry because of excessive skin irritation, reapply to alleviate skin stress.
• Apply using massaging motions to help with skin circulation.
• For a more gentle and moist massage, use the Maternity Care Tightening Cream and the Maternity Care Massage Oil, one after the other, or mix the cream and oil.
