Stretch marks are not the result of any fatal changes in health. This is just a cosmetic skin defect, albeit an unpleasant one. It indicates that the connections within the collagen and elastin fibers in the skin are disrupted. The main way to prevent stretch marks are oils and regular skin care. The Weleda brand offers its product for the prevention of stretch marks.

Who can use Weleda oil for stretch marks?
Women of all ages, nationalities and skin types experience stretch marks. The risks increase during periods of sudden weight gain. Swiss Weleda recommends using its product to prevent stretch marks:
- During pregnancy. The sooner you start using the product, the more effective the protection against stretch marks will be. 2014 study, published in the British Journal of Dermatology, shows that up to 90% of women experience stretch marks during pregnancy or lactation. The Weleda brand recommends starting to use the oil in the earliest stages of pregnancy. The skin of the abdomen and mammary glands can be massaged.
- After the birth of the child. In the first 3–4 months after childbirth, the skin continues to change dramatically prevention of stretch marks should be continued. If you are breastfeeding, massage your breasts twice a day.
- Women over 20 years of age. Ladies who are prone to obesity are at risk. Stretch marks appear on areas of the body that are more prone to fat storage. For stretch marks, you can massage your hips, buttocks, stomach, back, forearms, and chest.
User opinions are divided: some like this dispenser, while others absolutely dislike it
A genetic predisposition to the appearance of stretch marks during pregnancy has been proven. Therefore, if your mother had stretch marks while carrying a child, then you also need to prepare for similar “marks” of an interesting position.
If you have any doubts about whether you can use Weleda stretch mark remedy, consult your doctor who is caring for your pregnancy.
Massage of the abdomen and chest is not recommended if there is a risk of premature birth.

How to use Weleda oil for stretch marks
Regular massage with Weleda oil increases the chances of achieving the desired result. Apply the oil twice a day. Step-by-step instructions for using Weleda oil:
- Take some oil in your palms.
The oil has a liquid, pliable texture
The oil itself cannot be stored in a very warm place, but must be warmed to room temperature before use.
Apply the oil with some pressure so that it is absorbed into the skin
Massage with one hand, support the bust with the other so that the breasts do not sag
I got my first stretch marks even before pregnancy. Therefore, when I found out that I was expecting a baby, I decided not to repeat such an unpleasant experience. After all, these “tracks” appear on the body quickly, but it takes years to get rid of them. During pregnancy, I used creams and milk to soften my skin. A friend recommended Weleda oil to me because it can be used on the entire body, even on the external genitalia. I massaged my stomach, chest, buttocks. I applied a little to the perineum to prepare the intimate areas of the skin for childbirth. The smell of this product does not correspond to a cosmetic one, it smells like vegetable oils. The important thing is that all components of the product are safe for the baby. This is the main thing. The product costs one and a half thousand rubles, I think so. It is important for the mother to remain calm during pregnancy, and Swiss quality provides such a guarantee.
Reviews of the use of oil for the prevention of Weleda stretch marks
The average rating that users give to the oil is a four plus. Customers of the Weleda brand note the good performance of the product for the purpose of prevention. Oil is not able to get rid of existing stretch marks, especially if the stretch marks are large. Although some have a healing effect. Negative ratings most often relate to the high price of the product, unusual aroma, not very convenient packaging and individual reactions.
I avoided stretch marks during pregnancy, despite the fact that my belly was huge. In general, the goal was achieved, but I’m not sure that this is entirely the merit of this or that cosmetic product. Of course, care and close attention to the skin of a growing belly is definitely needed, but it does not guarantee complete protection from stretch marks. I can’t recommend this product, at least because of the cost, but also because of the stupid dispenser, the not very convenient bottle, and the strange effect after some time during use. At some point, it simply began to form a film that clogged the pores, the skin stopped breathing and I really felt uneasy. It was as if I was sleeping in a stuffy room - that’s the feeling. I had problems with a stuffy nose almost throughout my pregnancy, but now they got worse. As soon as I stopped using this oil, everything went away.

The smell is not that unpleasant, it is quite specific, but it did not cause any negative effects for me during pregnancy. If you smear the entire body after at least a day or two, the contents of the bottle will begin to melt before your eyes. But I was honestly lazy, I only applied it to my stomach and chest, so I still had a third of the bottle left and... I’m not sure, but still, maybe that’s why I had slightly noticeable stretch marks on my chest and sides of my stomach.
Weleda Stretch Mark Prevention Oil was very moisturizing. If the skin was dry, it was quickly absorbed, leaving almost no marks on the palms, but as soon as the skin had an “oil overdose”, then after the smearing procedure it was necessary to wait until the oil was absorbed so that there were no traces on clothes and nothing (like cat hair with sofa) did not stick to the belly.
Overall not bad, but expensive. I think you can find a more budget-friendly skin moisturizer. And most importantly, use it regularly and not be lazy like I did. After all, what actually causes stretch marks to appear? That's right, because the skin ceases to be elastic and elastic. And it can be made more elastic and elastic at a cheaper price.

I smeared myself with this oil for a couple of months, starting at 12 weeks, until I began to notice a persistent smell of rancid oil from my pajamas. In total, I ruined two pajamas no powder could remove the smell. Most likely, it was my laziness - I didn’t rub and pull the T-shirt on long enough. It takes quite a long time to absorb into normal dry skin. It's better after a shower. A greasy film remains for about 10 minutes

Even after just one use, I noticed that my skin really liked this oil. She became more nourished, hydrated, and attractive. When you touch my skin before using this oil, it was a little dry. After use, it feels very pleasant to the touch, and seems to have a slightly oily feel on the surface. But at the same time, the oil is absorbed after some time, the skin does not shine, and no traces of this oil were noticed on clothes. The breasts did not suffer from stretch marks during pregnancy and lactation. I liked the detailed instructions for the product with massage schemes.
