One safe tool I like to use in my practice and give women to work with at home is the Butterfly Gua Sha. Gua means 'To scrape.' Sha means 'Toxins.' In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the stretched, marked skin is viewed as dried and cracked soil. Stretch marks are mainly caused by dryness, qi, blood, and fluid deficiency in the affected area. Gua Sha can help move blood under the skin's surface, and since blood carries nutrients and oxygen wherever it goes, it nourishes the skin with these substances. As a result, it allows the body to rebuild collagen and 'corrects' the stretched skin, thus minimizing the appearance of the stretched marks. StrechySkin Treasure formula helps with the skin's moistening and nourishing of dry and stretched skin. I absolutely love the butterfly shape because it's pretty, has numerous angles for different body areas, and is so easy to hold. The Butterfly Gua Sha is made of a natural Rose quartz stone and not plastic, which some believe has a powerful influence on feelings of calm and love.

How to use Butterfly Gua Sha along with StretchSkin Treasure oil at home? Butterfly Gua Sha is an easy way to work on your skin at home and is meant to use only after delivery and never on a pregnant belly. On a clean surface, massage the StretchSkin Treasure oil onto the abdomen, hips, and thighs. Hold the Butterfly Gua Sha in your hand and scrape the skin gently in one direction to move the blood superficially to help moisten and nourish the skin. Do this for about 5 minutes over the affected areas every 2-3 days for at least two months.
Reviews
Such a great kit and experience using this product. Recently had a baby and this helped with my c section scar to massage and hydrate the area.
I am not pregnant, but I would think it would be a good product to rub on the belly for stretch marks. It did come with a Gua Sha tool to benefit your stretched skin. The oil felt light weight and would surly hydrate any skin.
