Palmer’s New Improved Stretch Mark Range

Care is something mothers seem to give unconditionally to those around them, especially their newborns, while they tend to neglect themselves in the process. Pregnancy isn't an easy journey, and it comes with its own arsenal of challenges, such as stretch marks. Palmer's has dedicated an entire range of stretch-mark-fighting products that will make it easier for you to go back to your previous glory with a new, and advanced formula.

How do stretch marks occur?

Stretch marks, also known as Striae distensae, happen with sudden growth spurts associated with pregnancy. The skin's elasticity can't keep up with the stretching rate, which causes it to tear, producing a stretch mark. The key to prevent stretch marks is to improve the skin's elasticity, thus, helping it keep up with the stretching rate.

During pregnancy glucocorticoid hormones are produced, these hormones are responsible for the reduced production of collagen and the breakdown of elastin.

The newly enhanced formula of Palmer's pregnancy stretch marks range targets collagen and elastin breakdown caused by pregnancy hormones, which then improves the skin's natural elasticity and suppleness.

Here is what the enhanced formula has to offer, along with the effective ingredients: 

No Mineral Oil: Mineral oils reduce nutrient absorption during pregnancy. 

Natural vitamin E: A natural antioxidant, that protects the skin against free radicals.

Contains lutein: A powerful antioxidant and elastase inhibitor that helps reduce elastin breakdown, thus, improving the elasticity and hydration of the skin. 

Youth 360: Helps stimulate the body's own collagen and in addition, plumps and improves the texture of the skin. 

Allergen-free fragrance: The products have a light scent that will not irritate your skin. 

Remember, prevention is the key to stretch marks. Once they happen, we can only reduce their appearance. Use this range early on during your pregnancy to get the maximum effects. Your skin will become hydrated and supple, with an even tone and texture. If you have dry, itchy skin this range will deeply nourish and soothe your skin. All the products are Mineral Oil-Free, Paraben-Free, Phthalate-Free, allergy-free, and dermatologist-approved.
