Olive oil for stretch marks

When it comes to stretch marks, I believe many women hate them. The formation of stretch marks is mainly due to the influence of hormones before delivery. The bulging skin of the abdomen is damaged and broken to varying degrees due to the traction of external forces. Therefore, the skin becomes thinner than before, and the skin of the abdominal wall will not have some large and small wavy patterns. White lines will be left after delivery. Stretch marks are very unsightly, so many women want to find ways to remove them. It is said that olive oil can remove stretch marks. So is olive oil effective for removing stretch marks?

In fact, stretch marks are mainly concentrated on the abdomen, the outer and inner sides of the thighs, and even the shoulders, arms, etc., and once they appear, it takes a certain amount of time to disappear. Stretch marks are very harmful. They can cause women's skin to become loose and fat to accumulate, which can seriously affect their health. Therefore, it is important to deal with them in a timely manner. Here I will introduce to you how to use olive oil to remove stretch marks.

Stretch marks

The formation of stretch marks is mainly due to the influence of hormones during pregnancy. The expansion of the abdomen causes the elastic fibers and collagen fibers of the skin to be damaged or broken to varying degrees due to external force, the skin becomes thinner and thinner, and some pink or purple wavy patterns of varying widths and lengths will appear on the abdominal wall skin. After delivery, these patterns will gradually disappear, leaving behind white or silvery shiny scar lines, which are stretch marks. Stretch marks are mainly located on the abdominal wall, and may also appear on the inner and outer thighs, buttocks, chest, shoulders and arms. They are most obvious in first-time mothers. And once it appears, it will not disappear slowly over time, causing women's skin to become loose and wrinkled, breasts to sag, and abdominal fat to accumulate, seriously affecting women's postpartum body shape and physical and mental health.

Most women develop many light red or purple stripes on the skin of their upper thighs, abdomen, breasts, etc. during the 5th to 6th month of pregnancy. These are called "stretch marks".

Due to endocrine changes during pregnancy, the elasticity (fibers) in the skin weakens and becomes more brittle, and the walls of subcutaneous capillaries and veins become thinner and dilated. After 5 months of pregnancy, the uterus grows larger and the breasts also grow due to the development of mammary tissue and the deposition of adipose tissue, causing the skin of the breasts, abdomen and upper thighs to stretch and thin, the elastic fibers to break, and the color of the subcutaneous blood vessels to show through, forming stretch marks. Stretch marks are a physiological change that will cause mild pain and itching locally. No treatment is required, but you can choose appropriate products to repair stretch marks. People who normally go from thin to fat may also develop stretch marks.

Olive oil for stretch marks

1. Materials: Olive oil, preferably fresh olive oil. If not, go to the supermarket to buy pure olive oil.

2. Usage: Take it with you while bathing or apply it on your belly, especially where you need to remove stretch marks.

3. Preparation for use: drop a few drops on your belly while taking a bath, and then massage the Zhongyuan and other acupoints on your belly to truly relax and moisturize your skin.

Other ways to get rid of stretch marks

Massage method: Use 18 ml of massage oil as the base oil, and follow the formula below. Massage in clockwise circles on the slimming lines or stretch marks for 5-10 minutes every day.

Recipe 1: 5 drops of neroli oil + 4 drops of lavender. Recipe 2: 4 drops of rosewood + 3 drops of frankincense + 2 drops of lavender. Recipe three: 3 drops of frankincense + 2 drops of lavender + 2 drops of lemongrass + 1 drop.

Exercise method: Exercise can reduce obesity

1. Running can reduce stretch marks on the buttocks and thighs: Running can fully exercise the buttocks and thighs, help convert local fat into muscle, and reduce stretch marks on the buttocks and thighs. You can do it on an accelerated treadmill in the gym, adjust the resistance from level 2 to level 3, and raise the seat appropriately. When sitting, lean your buttocks slightly toward the back of the seat. Of course, you can also jog or jog outdoors. Aerobic exercise can promote the body's metabolism and waste elimination. 2. Buttocks firming and contraction method: Lie on your back on the floor, bend your legs, place your hands flat on both sides of your body, lift your buttocks as high as possible, and contract your buttocks muscles. Lift your hips and hold for 3 seconds, then slowly lower them. Repeat this set of movements 15 times, practice 3 times a week. After 4 weeks, your buttocks will be noticeably tighter and stretch marks will be reduced.

Diet: Reduce the intake of animal fat. Eating too much cream or cheese can not only make the blood acidic and make people easily fatigued, but also cause fat to accumulate in the lower body, causing enlarged buttocks and stretch marks. Therefore, it is best to focus on raw plant proteins such as soybeans, or low-calorie and nutritious seafood, which can promote metabolism and consume body fat. At the same time, try to replace animal fat with corn oil, olive oil and sunflower oil. They all contain a lot of unsaturated fatty acids, which can help you achieve both beauty and health.

Prevention plan: 1. Bathing to prevent stretch marks: When bathing, use a soft brush or natural loofah to rub the skin to brush off dry dandruff and stimulate lymphatic circulation. Then add one tablespoon of bath salt to the shower gel and mix them together, then rub them evenly on your skin. At this point, you can almost feel the bath salts and the smooth foam removing the old cuticles on your buttocks without you noticing. Next, rinse the buttocks skin with alternating hot and cold water. You may feel a little uncomfortable at first, but this alternating hot and cold water bath from Taiwan does have the effect of tightening the skin and stimulating massage, which can prevent ugly lines on the buttocks. 2. Strengthen massage to decompose fat: Regularly use body beauty essence lotions and essences made from ingredients such as horse chestnut, horsetail grass, nasturtium, organic iodine and silicone for massage. The massage time should be more than ten minutes to allow the essence to be fully absorbed. Because the massage lotion has the effect of strengthening the decomposition of fat and metabolizing toxins, gentle massage has a very significant effect on care, prevention of stretch marks, spongy tissue and elimination of fat. 3. Slimming lotion to maintain slim curves: It is recommended to choose slimming products made from a variety of natural essences such as seaweed and carotene. These ingredients have the effects of dissolving fat, burning calories, and eliminating excess water and toxins in the body. At the same time, they can also firm loose skin and avoid stretch marks. Long-term use can not only maintain slim curves, but also make the skin appear plump and radiant. 4. Increase the intake of crude fiber: Crude fiber has the effect of slimming and detoxification. Therefore, you should consume more vegetables rich in fiber, such as celery, pumpkin, sweet potato and taro, in your daily meals. They can promote gastrointestinal motility and reduce fat accumulation.
