According to Healthshots, here are some effective ways to fight skin rains during and after pregnancy.
Keep your skin moist
Moisturize your skin with olive oil, coconut oil or any oil rich in vitamin E, making it hydrated, smooth, firm and less itchy.
Exfoliate at least 2 or 3 times a week
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cell layers and allows new cells to regenerate the surface, thereby increasing blood circulation. Exfoliation can be done using luffa fibers or a dry brush. This also helps moisturizer to be better absorbed into the skin.
Eat and drink balanced during pregnancy
Eating a balanced diet helps provide adequate nutrition and gradually gain weight.
Keep your body hydrated
Drinking at least 2 to 3 liters of water per day will prevent dehydration and help keep the skin healthy and supple, while helping the skin recover from the effects of stretching.
Exercise during pregnancy
Do low-intensity exercises during pregnancy. This will help you gain weight gradually and also help keep your skin elastic.
Continue to eat a balanced diet and exercise gently after giving birth
This will help you lose weight gradually and the skin will have time to return to its original state. Sudden dieting can only cause sagging skin. The intensity of exercise can increase over time depending on each person's health condition.
