Body Firming

Most women start to use stretch mark removal creams in the later stages of their pregnancy, which is when the marks become more visible. While there isn’t a specific timeframe to start using stretch mark creams and treatment oils, skincare experts recommend using these body-firming products in the early stages of pregnancy, because your skin will start to stretch to accommodate your growing baby.

Newer stretch marks are always easier to treat compared to older ones. So while the lines may not be visible in the first weeks of pregnancy, it’s best to start incorporating stretch mark creams and toning body oils into your daily body care routine to prevent and minimise the appearance of stretch marks.

The Body Partner Stretch Mark Expert is a crowd favourite. This non-comedogenic stretch mark removal cream utilises Clarins’ PhytoStretchComplex formula that combines active ingredients to improve elasticity and skin density. It is enriched with Centella Asiatica and Organic Green Banana to strengthen collagen and elastin fibres so your skin can regain its firmness over time, making it more resistant to stretch marks.

Apart from improving skin density and reducing the appearance of stretch marks, this lightweight cream also contains Hazelnut Oil, which is packed with Vitamin E to nourish and hydrate the skin.

Treat stretch marks and enhance skin elasticity with our best-selling Tonic Body Treatment Oil, a lightweight oil formula packed with Hazelnut Oil and aromatic essential oils to moisturise the skin and prevent the formation of new stretch marks, while maintaining skin firmness. Its silky texture absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy or sticky sensation, making this toning body oil suitable for all skin types.

During pregnancy, stretch marks often appear where the skin stretches or shrinks too quickly, especially around the belly, breasts and upper thighs. New marks are usually pink, red, blue, purple or brown, depending on your skin tone. Older stretch marks tend to fade into white or silver with time.

Stretch marks take a long time to fade away on their own, so stretch mark removal creams help to speed up the process and repair your skin at the same time.

Yes, our body-firming products are safe to be used on other parts of the body too. Apply the stretch mark removal cream or body toning oil on areas of concern, such as the breasts, hips, buttocks, legs and thighs.

Some women experience stretch marks on the upper arms too, so if you notice an itching around an area where the skin might be becoming thinner, apply our cream or toning body oil to prevent the appearance of stretch marks.

Every mother dreams of regaining her youthful skin after childbirth. The great news is that our body-firming products are rich in nourishing vitamins from botanical extracts and plant oils to help your skin recover its elasticity throughout the postpartum period and beyond.
