For example, pregnant women, who know in advance that their breasts and belly will increase in volume can use this plant throughout pregnancy so that the skin becomes more elastic and not only stretches without suffering but returns to normal after childbirth and after the breastfeeding period.
- It is also true that there are people who tend to form stretch marks and others who do not because of more weight gain or pregnancy in between. Anyway these tips are dedicated to those who suffer from these ugly skin marks.

That gel contains enzymes, minerals, amino acids, vitamins and proteins that only nature has been able to unite in a plant that on the outside has thorns that seem to protect that magical gel inside.
- This gel is ideal for stimulating cell growth and goes very well to inhibit the formation of scars, which is ideal for fighting stretch marks.
- If you are pregnant and want to avoid the formation of stretch marks, cut an aloe vera leaf, remove with a knife the edges of the blade where the thorns are located, then cut it along to obtain two halves and apply the gel in the area of the belly, legs and chest. In this way you will be giving elasticity to your skin so that it stretches comfortably. If you do not want to do it with aloe vera leaves you can buy the aloe vera gel that comes prepared for this.
