Pregnancy and Stretch Marks

Are you worried about having stretch marks from pregnancy? 🤰🏻 The rate that your body grows during pregnancy is sometimes faster than the rate at which your skin can keep up. This can cause the elastic fibres under the skin to crack, hence the appearance of stretch marks. ⚡️⚡️

Now we are absolutely all for embracing them, but if you are among the people who don't want stretch marks, then exfoliation, coupled with some powerful Australian botanical ingredients, can be the solution. 😍

So how does exfoliation help to minimise stretch marks? Exfoliation removes dead and dry skin cells that prevent your oils or moisturisers from reaching the lower layers of your skin. Exfoliation triggers the generation of elastin and collagen every single time you exfoliate. New skin cell growth stimulated in the fibroblasts helps the stomach, hips, chest, thighs (and your butt) remain resliant to stretch marks! It helps the skin remain soft and super smooth. ✨

So which scrub should you be using during your pregnancy? All of Holliday Skin's smoothing body scrubs are pregnancy safe! Our recommendation is to use our Pink Clay Smoothing Body Scrub as this is also packed with natural ingredients which increase the collagen production and stimulate healthy cell growth. We've packed Pink Clay, natural oils (Avocado Oil, Almond Oil, Rosehip Oil), as well as other botanical ingredients such as Shea Butter which together, pack an absolute punch. 🥊
