Mekis Stretch Marks Balm-60g,Reduces Stretch Marks,Safe For Pregnancy

What Are Stretch Marks & how will Mekis’s balm help you?

Stretch marks are a kind of scar that develops due to the rapid stretching/shrinking of your skin.

Essentially, your skin can’t match its production of collagen (which keeps skin elastic) to the speed of weight gain and the amount of stretching (of the skin) needed.

The result is thin, long, rippled marks.

As you gain weight during pregnancy and then lose it after the baby arrives, your skin goes through this kind of stretching and shrinkage over a relatively short time.

When your skin starts to heal, it leaves behind scars in the form of stretch marks.

What Do Stretch Marks Look Like?

Stretch marks are typically reddish, pink, purple, dark brown, or reddish-brown - the colour is based on your skin tone - when they first appear.

At this stage, they might feel like they’re raised and are often quite itchy.

They eventually begin to fade and what remains are narrow, slightly depressed bands beneath the skin.

You could develop them on your belly/abdomen, breasts, buttocks, thighs, and hips.

Some women also get them on their, back, and shoulders - it depends on where you’ve gained weight during your pregnancy.

Who Can Get Stretch Marks?

Anyone who is rapidly losing or gaining weight could potentially develop them.

What’s more, fluctuating hormone levels have also been linked to the risk of developing stretch marks, making pregnancy a time when you’re very likely to develop stretch marks.

That said, not everyone is equally likely to get stretch marks.

Some women may get away with relatively milder instances.

 Those with a family history of stretch marks are at greater risk of developing them.

Stretch marks tend to show up in month 6/7 of pregnancy. 

How can I prevent stretch marks?

The best way to reduce the risk of stretch marks, including during pregnancy, is to maintain a healthy weight and to keep your skin hydrated and supple.

You can support this drinking plenty of water, eating a balanced diet, rich in zinc and vitamins C and E to support skin regeneration and through regular exercise to stay active and keep up your circulation.

You should additionally apply Mekis Stretchmarks balm directly support your skin’s hydration.

It brings together butters and collagen peptides in an intensive balm formula to visibly reduce stretch marks and hydrate the skin.

Mekis Balm combines botanical ingredients in a formula that hydrates your skin to help prevent stretch marks.

How to use

Apply the massage oil on damp skin after taking a shower or bath, as this will lock in the moisture.

Balm is not to be applied to dry skin as it will coat the skin, but will not penetrate. Massage the balm into skin until it is absorbed
