Mustela maternity cream for stretch marks

Most women sooner or later experience stretch marks on their bodies. As a rule, this occurs due to a sharp change in body weight. The appearance of white and pink stripes, contrary to popular belief, can be prevented. For example, using creams designed for this purpose. The latter also includes Mustela. But first of all, you should find out what features of use this cosmetic product has.

What is Mustela cream?

Mustela is a cream for the prevention of stretch marks, produced by the French company of the same name. The latter mainly produces cosmetics for pregnant women: lotions, gels, creams and balms. That is why the described product is more suitable for women who are expecting a child.

Interestingly, the word “Mustela” is translated from Latin as “weasel.”

Mustela cream has a pleasant, barely noticeable floral scent. The product has a white color and dense texture. This means that the product is quite greasy. As a rule, the cream is produced in a tube, the volume of which is 150 or 250 ml.

Mustela cream is available in tubes

Compound

The main active ingredients of Mustela cream are:

1. Ethylhexyl cocoate and alkyl malate. Intensively softens the treated area.

3. Beeswax. It is the basis of the cream.
4. Lauret-23. Helps other components of the cream penetrate the tissue better.
5. Galactoarabinan. This substance is extracted from larch. Galactoarabinan is a natural stimulator of collagen fiber production.

12. Cold pressed sunflower oil. Intensively nourishes skin cells.
13. Lupeol. Activates the production of collagen fibers. The latter create a strong frame, due to which the skin becomes denser, and therefore less prone to the appearance of stretch marks.
14. Shea Butter. Promotes intensive softening of the treated surface. In addition, the oil nourishes the skin and restores its water-fat balance.
15. Avocado protein hydrolyzate. Rejuvenates, nourishes, moisturizes and soothes the treated area of ​​the body.
16. Japanese Sophora. Helps slow down skin aging and prevents early aging of its cells.

Effectiveness in the fight against stretch marks

Cosmetic products against white and pink stripes on the body are divided into two main groups: masking and warning. Mustela treats it like the second one. It should be understood that it is impossible to completely overcome stretch marks with creams, since the unpleasant formations are similar in nature to scars. However, Mustela, due to its preventive effect, prevents the appearance of new stripes on the body.

Cost and places of purchase

The price of Mustela cream is quite high - 1000 rubles for 150 ml of product. For 250 ml you will pay 1400–1500 rubles. Due to the considerable cost, it is necessary to understand that the product should be purchased exclusively in pharmacies or on the official website of the product manufacturer.

Rules of application

When using Mustela cream, follow the basic rules described below:

1. Apply the product to the area of ​​stretch marks several times a day. It is advisable to do this in the morning immediately after waking up and in the evening before going to bed. When applying, try to use massage movements to further increase blood circulation.

When applying Mustela cream, follow the massage lines

Contraindications and side effects

Mustela cream for the prevention of stretch marks has no contraindications. However, in some cases, an allergic reaction to the components of a cosmetic product may occur. Individual intolerance can be recognized by itching, small rashes and/or redness in the area treated with the cream. If you continually use a product that causes an allergy, your skin condition may worsen. To prevent this from happening, before using Mustela, do a test following the suggested points:

1. Apply a small amount of product to the inside of your wrist.
2. Observe the treated area throughout the day. If there are no signs of an allergic reaction, feel free to use the product in the area where stretch marks are expected to form. However, keep in mind that you should try to treat small areas first. If there is no discomfort during the first week of use, you can move on to larger areas of skin.

Reviews

From the very beginning of pregnancy, I started preventing stretch marks, since they need to be dealt with in advance, so to speak, to prepare the skin. From the fourth month, after reading reviews, going through a bunch of options, I bought Mustela cream. The texture is pleasant, it is consumed economically. Two large tubes were enough for my entire pregnancy, despite the fact that I applied it twice a day after a shower, and sometimes in the last months I got up at night and rubbed my stomach because it was so itchy. I smeared everything: thighs, stomach, chest. The main thing is to take it a little at a time, otherwise it kind of rolls off a little, but I wouldn’t call it a drawback. My skin is prone to stretch marks, because from a young age I had a couple of stretch marks on my thighs, when I gained a little weight at one time. But using this cream throughout my pregnancy, I didn’t get a single stretch mark. After giving birth, I still applied the remains at home, the skin quickly returned to normal

After reading numerous reviews and reviews, I settled on Mustela stretch mark prevention cream. I have been using it since the second month of pregnancy, mainly for the abdomen and chest area. Very pleasant smell and consistency of the cream. It is quickly absorbed and the skin after use is very soft and velvety. The quality of the skin has improved, it has become smoother and more nourished. A 150 ml package was enough for 7 months of daily use. After giving birth, not a single stretch mark appeared, I am glad that I chose this cream.

In the third month of pregnancy, I began to develop stretch marks on my breasts. I purchased Mustela double-action cream, as it fights existing stretch marks and prevents their appearance. The smell is pleasant and once it is absorbed the skin feels really well hydrated. I can’t say anything about stretch marks... on the chest they keep getting bigger and bigger... Mustela double action cream failed my expectations. I use it only occasionally...for prevention, and I fight stretch marks with other methods.

I used Mustela cream for 9 months during pregnancy, starting from three months, from the moment my belly began to grow. Throughout my entire pregnancy, I didn’t see a single stretch mark on my body! I used this cream and was happy, I thought it would help me and after childbirth my skin would be even. But when she gave birth and looked at her belly with tears(((it was terrible((all covered in blue stretch marks. Probably when the belly was big, the skin was stretched and you couldn’t see them, but after giving birth the skin returned to its size and they are noticeable become.

Mustela is one of the most expensive anti-stretch mark creams. At the same time, the effectiveness of the product in the fight against existing formations leaves much to be desired. But as a preventative cream, Mustela works well. The main advantage of the product is the complete absence of contraindications. However, do not forget to check the product for individual intolerance to avoid itching, redness and other manifestations of an allergic reaction.

Stretch marks are the most common problem during pregnancy.

Every second woman faces the problem of stretch marks during pregnancy. Due to a sharp increase in the level of the hormones estrogen and cortisol, the production of fibronectin, which is a protein responsible for the elasticity of the skin along with elastin and collagen, is reduced. This leads to the appearance of stretch marks. To prevent their appearance, it is necessary to additionally moisturize the skin from the first weeks of pregnancy using products for the prevention of stretch marks. Depending on preferences, mothers choose the texture of cream or oil. The Mustela® Maternity line includes cream and oil for the prevention of stretch marks:

Lupine seed extract helps prevent the appearance of stretch marks, maintaining the beauty of the skin during pregnancy and after childbirth. The oil is quickly absorbed and does not leave a greasy film on the skin.

If you are already noticing dark red streaks on your skin, you need to take action. The sooner you start treating the stretch marks, the better. Then the stretch marks will become lighter and will be more difficult to correct.

In the second half of pregnancy, the legs bear a greater load than before. Therefore, a feeling of heaviness in the legs is a common problem for women in the third trimester. GEL FOR LIGHTNESS FEET with menthol extract will give your feet a feeling of freshness and lightness.

Skin elasticity is the key to rapid restoration of shape after childbirth
