During their pregnancy, women’s skin is usually dry and having stretch marks, especially the stomach skin because it has greatly expanded. Selecting suitable skin cream can make the skin more flexible with less dryness and reduced stretch marks.
- Select cream that is rich of moisturizer or contains Vitamin E ingredients.
- Coconut oil, sesame oil, and olive oil are good for health and safe from residual chemicals.
- Apply baby oil after bath, when the skin is half dry, and avoid causes of dry skin, such as:
- Avoid bathing with hot water because it causes dry skin
- Apply cream soon after bath
- Powder should not be used as it causes even more dry skin
- Regularly drink water and eat fruits
- Apply cream more often during the day if you have to be in the air-conditioned room
