Stretch marks & post partum care

Stretch Mark Treatments

Pregnancy, weight fluctuations, growth spurts: your skin evolves throughout your life. Each of these moments can leave behind fine marks on your body—stretch marks. With NUXE, caring for stretch marks becomes a truly sensory experience, blending effectiveness with pleasure. Whether in oil or cream form, indulge in exquisite textures that enhance your skin day after day.

What Are the Main Causes of Stretch Marks, and How Can They Be Prevented?

The Appearance of Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are fine streaks that appear when the skin’s elasticity can’t keep up with a sudden stretching force. This phenomenon typically occurs during physical or hormonal changes like pregnancy, adolescence, and weight fluctuations. Under the strain or sudden loosening, collagen and elastin fibers become weakened.

Stretch marks are light scars that can appear after weight gain but also with rapid weight loss, affecting both women and men. They may appear in different areas. For pregnant women, they often develop on the abdomen, breasts, and thighs. In teenagers, they tend to show up on the hips, lower back, and buttocks.

Best Habits for Maintaining Soft and Resilient Skin

Taking care of your skin day after day is key to preserving its elasticity. Regular hydration helps keep your skin supple and better able to adapt to the changes in your body. If you have dry or very dry skin, opt for treatments with natural plant oils that also nourish your skin. NUXE has crafted body treatments that meet all your skin’s needs. Enjoy a self-massage while applying your treatment to encourage skin regeneration.

What Are the Most Effective Treatments for Diminishing the Appearance of Existing Stretch Marks?

Cosmetic Solutions: Effective Oils

When stretch marks first appear, they can range from purple to red in color. This is when they’re most amenable to effective treatment. White stretch marks, on the other hand, are harder to diminish.

With NUXE's stretch mark treatments, enjoy a pleasurable application while targeting these marks effectively. Our must-have for nourishing and repairing the skin in one easy step? Huile Prodigieuse®! Its legendary blend of seven precious 100% plant-based oils nourishes the skin, strengthens its protective barrier, and visibly reduces the appearance of stretch marks. Their color is reduced by 30%**. A fantastic ally for both preventing and naturally correcting stretch marks, it also wraps the skin in a captivating sun-kissed fragrance, leaving it with a radiant satin glow. Prefer the Huile Prodigieuse® Florale? No need to change your routine—this variant offers the same restorative and nourishing properties to help prevent and diminish the appearance of stretch marks.

Are Natural-Origin Products Effective for Preventing or Reducing Stretch Marks?

Absolutely! NUXE incorporates the benefits of naturally sourced ingredients into its formulas, offering stretch mark treatment that can be used as a preventive measure or once the marks have appeared.
