Care & Hygiene

Avoiding Stretch Marks and Pigmentation

• Control your weight. The most important way to avoid stretch marks is to keep yourself at a healthy weight. Stretch marks happen when your skin pulls apart.
• Stay hydrated.
• Eat foods that boost healthy skin – foods rich in zinc, proteins, and vitamins.
• Make sure you get a lot of vitamin C that is found in fruits and vegetables.
• Vitamin D is also crucial, so spend some time in the sun.
• Apply lotion twice a day throughout your pregnancy and a minimum of three months after delivery.
  • You can find lotions to treat stretch marks at PETIT MIGNON. Shop by brands for maternity items: Mustela Stretch Mark Serum, Mustela Organic Stretch Mark Oil, and Biolane.
