Have you put on a few pounds and started to notice marbled stripes? Or are you pregnant and worried about their appearance? Stretch marks mainly affect women, but men are not spared either... Totally harmless, this scourge is not only unsightly, but also difficult to get rid of. La Maison de l'Argousier lifts the veil on stretch marks and helps you to keep your skin firm and glowing with health.
Why do stretch marks appear?
Stretch marks are the result of weight fluctuation, a sudden growth spurt or hormonal change. Anyone can be affected by them in the course of their lives! These purplish-red marks resemble scars in length, lightening over time to become pearly white. Although not dangerous, they can be a source of discomfort, with feelings of tightness and itching.

Distension of the skin
Stretch marks are generally caused by rapid stretching of the skin. Subjected to stretching beyond their elasticity limits, collagen fibers eventually break. As a result, certain areas of the body become covered with inflamed cracks, and the skin loses its firmness. In women, the most affected areas are the lower abdomen, breasts, buttocks and thighs. During pregnancy, the hips are targeted more. For men, stretch marks are most often found on the pectorals, hips, flanks and thighs. In any case, the thinner the skin, the greater the risk of these unsightly welts forming.
Comment prévenir l’apparition des vergetures ?
The good news is that simple preventive measures can help prevent their appearance. Stretch marks already there? There are solutions within everyone's reach to reduce their appearance. The simplest thing to do is to treat them as soon as you notice them - in other words, at the inflammatory stage, when they are still red, purplish and slightly bulging. Thanks to La Maison de l'Argousier, stretch marks won't last long!

Optimum hydration
During high-risk periods, your skin needs to be perfectly hydrated to maintain its suppleness. And that starts from the inside, by drinking at least 1.5 liters of water every day. Rich in essential fatty acids, La Maison de l'Argousier has developed an oil with exceptional emollient, healing and repairing properties. It helps regenerate the skin and beautify damaged surfaces.
A suitable diet
To prevent stretch marks, simply increase your daily intake of essential fatty acids, as well as vitamins from the B, C and E groups. The aim is to stimulate collagen production and optimize dermal elasticity. Choose salmon, mackerel, eggs, meats, legumes, oilseeds, dairy products, parsley, peppers, blackcurrants, etc. For dietary supplements, opt for royal jelly, brewer's yeast, borage oil, evening primrose oil or wheat germ.
Daily gestures
When applying your special stretch mark oil, take the opportunity to treat yourself to a massage. The various movements involved boost collagen production by improving blood circulation and boosting cell renewal. Use the palpate-and-roll technique, which involves slowly kneading the skin with both hands alternately. Concentrate on strategic areas and repeat for five minutes each morning and evening. Finally, avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes. Repeated rubbing can actually damage the epidermis and encourage the appearance of stretch marks. Likewise, it's best to avoid prolonged hot baths, which contribute to skin slackening. Alternatively, get into the habit of finishing off with a jet of cold water to tighten the skin.
