5 ways on how to avoid stretch marks
There isn’t a definitive answer on how to avoid stretch marks when your baby growing.
However, having a baseline knowledge of skin, I can only conclude that like the desert floor, stretching and cracking in the absence of hydration, must be the same as to why our skin behaves as such.
The skin will stretch as your baby grows. If we haven’t primed it to go the extra mile we cant expect it to survive to tell the tale.
During my pregnancy, while on one of my deep dives into YouTube University, I was trying to narrow down the ingredients that were going to get the job done, and weed out brands that landed on my feed because of the algorithm.

Dry brush
Used twice a week (or when I remembered)
Done before the shower to remove dead skin and improve the skin’s ability to eliminate toxins through the pores. The coarse fibers will help to allow for deeper absorption of hydration and improve circulation.
