FAQ: Itchy Skin After Pregnancy


Often, stretch marks cause itchy skin after pregnancy. The connective tissue in the dermis can tear when the skin over your abdomen stretches during pregnancy. The torn tissue heals with irregular scars known as stretchmarks. Whether visible or not, stretchmarks can be very itchy for some new moms.

Itchy skin after pregnancy usually goes away over time, but it doesn't happen quickly enough for many women.  There are, however, several topical ingredients, which may be helpful according to clinical studies. It is critical for new moms to ensure that whatever skincare treatment they select is safe to use as a new mom, especially if nursing.

Darutoside and Registril are two ingredients that are clinically proven to decrease the appearance of stretch marks but may not help with the itch and discomfort. For the most effective relief of itchy skin after pregnancy you should look for natural ingredients such as avocado oil and ginseng, which help relieve itchy skin but are also proven to be safe for new moms to apply on skin when breast feeding.

Belli’s Stretchmark Minimizing Cream features Darutoside and Registril along with avocado oil, ginseng, and shea butter for softer, smoother skin. Belli’s formulations are the only products to treat a variety of skincare concerns that are also proven to be safe for new moms to use.

Every Belli Motherhood product is allergy tested, and free of artificial dyes and parabens. For nursing mothers, Belli screens each ingredient through the LACT-MED database to help guard against harmful chemicals.

Prior to applying Stretchmark Minimizing Cream, use the Skin Smoothing Body Exfoliator an invigorating body scrub rich in anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients. The exfoliator sweeps away old skin cells to reveal healthy skin and features green tea, ginseng and peppermint oil.
Follow this with applying the Stretchmark Minimizing Cream to affected areas.
