During pregnancy, the skin goes through a lot. The tensions can leave white marks known as "stretch marks", resulting from the rupture of elastic fibres within the dermis. To anwer pregnant women's specific needs, Weleda created the Strech Marks Massage Oil, made from sweet almond, organic jojoba & wheat germ oils, naturally rich in vitamin E, & enriched with organic arnica extract. Applied in massages from the beginning of pregnancy, it helps prevent & reduce stretch marks, by improving skin tone & elasticity. Tested under dermatological control. Few women dare to massage themselves or get massaged during pregnancy, afraid to harm themselves or their baby. But massage is a wonderful way to acknowledge & harmonise your newly shaped body. It is an effective way to maintain the skin's suppleness & elasticity, preventing the appearance of stretch marks.
