• The inventory of fixtures

Pregnancy and its hormonal upheaval have led to blood and lymphatic disorders, as well as distension of collagen fibers. The result is stretch marks and a chest that is compromised by breastfeeding.

  • The priorities

Treat stretch marks. They must be prevented throughout the pregnancy and continue for two to three months after delivery with specific products. These can attenuate them (in depth, in width) but, for the most severe cases, one must resort to laser or micro-abrasion. It is then necessary to tone the breast by relaunching the synthesis of elastin. Indispensable, because it is renewed every twenty-five years! Finally, it is often necessary to relipid the skin, restore suppleness and firm with peptide extracts.

  • Good plans

For those whose weight has varied a lot: Moisturizing Body Lotion Firming Dry Skin, vitamin E and glycerin Mixa.

For a firmness and hydration double action, vegetable tensors: Clarins Super Lift Bust Gel. For stretch marks, peptides that boost collagen and elastin: Zero Stretch Marks Talika.

Finally, a must in the galenical regularly revisited for even more efficiency, in gel, glycerin serum or ampoules: Phytolastil de Lierac.

  • The dietary reflex **

After pregnancy, one must restore its tone and its health capital. To find a healthy body, vitamins and trace elements are required. Group B vitamins, especially B9 (vegetables, fruits, egg yolks, cheese and bread), support sleep and memory. Calcium (milk, dairy products, certain mineral waters) to prevent osteoporosis (yes, yes, already) of the fifties. Vitamin D (brought by the sun but also by sardines, salmon ...). Iron, highly used during pregnancy, which protects against anemia. Foods containing at least two times a week should be looked for (red meat, black pudding, canned fish and dried vegetables). Iodine, which has been needed most during the last nine months, and which allows the proper functioning of the thyroid (crustaceans, mussels, sea fish, milk, eggs, sea salt iodine).
