Our Solutions for Stretch Marks & Body Firming
Stretch marks and a loss of firmness are part of the body’s natural evolution. They can appear during adolescence, following pregnancy, due to weight fluctuations, or simply with the passing of time. NUXE offers an expert selection of Stretch Marks & Post-Partum Care designed to preserve and restore your skin’s suppleness, reviving its natural glow and tonicity.
What causes stretch marks?
Stretch marks occur when the skin undergoes rapid stretching, appearing primarily on the stomach, hips, breasts, buttocks, and thighs. Growth spurts during puberty, pregnancy, or rapid weight gain or loss are periods when the skin is most prone to these markings. It is worth noting that this concerns both women and men.
How to spot new stretch marks
When your skin is no longer elastic enough to withstand the stretching it is subjected to, the collagen fibres tear. Fine lines, similar to small fissures, appear on the surface: these are stretch marks. New stretch marks typically have a purplish or reddish hue. This indicates they are still in the inflammatory phase, which is the best time to treat them effectively. Once their colour fades to silvery-white, improving their appearance becomes more challenging.
How can I prevent and reduce stretch marks?
To tackle stretch marks and firm up your skin, prevention is the ultimate strategy. Day after day, moisturising treatments help maintain your skin’s suppleness. You might also opt for richer formulas that provide a deep sense of Comfort and Nutrition . Strengthening the skin’s elasticity allows it to adapt more resiliently to bodily changes. To help fade and prevent marks, remember to:
- Exfoliate your body once or twice a week to renew the skin.
- Hydrate or nourish your skin every single day.
- Massage each area to encourage collagen production and improve elasticity.
How to firm your body and regain toned skin?
As we age, skin naturally loses its firmness. This slackening is caused by a decrease in the natural production of collagen and elastin. The NUXE laboratory combines powerful botanical active ingredients with sensory textures to help you regain toned, soft, and delicately scented skin.
The Nuxuriance Ultra Firming Body Cream offers a genuine lifting effect. Apply it to the arms, décolleté, stomach, buttocks, and legs to nourish and tone your skin. In just one month, firmness increases by 41%*. Its melting texture, with sophisticated feminine notes, absorbs rapidly without leaving a greasy or sticky finish—perfect for getting dressed immediately.
Another ally in Firmness & Body Sublimators is the Rêve de Thé Toning Firming Cream, enriched with Rye extract and Green Tea. Succumb to the energising action of its ice cube effect texture, which hydrates, tightens, and tones the skin while wrapping it in a revitalising scent. After one month of application, 90% of users found their skin more toned, and 81% found it firmer**.
With its cocktail of seven precious botanical oils, Huile Prodigieuse® nourishes, repairs, and beautifies your skin.

Its dry oil formula, with its iconic sun-kissed fragrance, illuminates your stretch mark and post-pregnancy care ritual. The Florale or Neroli versions of our multi-purpose oil for face, body, and hair also help reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

Your NUXE application routine for Stretch Marks & Firmness
Targeting toning goals, stretch marks, or loose skin? To restore your skin’s tonicity, improve elasticity, and unify its appearance, follow these steps:
- Prep your skin with a body scrub once or twice a week to buff away dead cells, stimulate cell renewal, and smooth the surface.
- Massage whilst applying your product. Warm the formula between your hands, then smooth upwards from your ankles to the top of your thighs. On the buttocks, hips, or breasts, use small circular motions. On the stomach, use broader clockwise movements. For the arms, smooth from the wrists up to the shoulders.
- Apply your skincare morning and/or evening, every day, to fight against skin slackening and preserve elasticity.
By pampering your skin daily, you help it navigate life’s transformations with grace. NUXE formulas for stretch marks and firmness marry sensory pleasure with visible results. Each application wraps you in softness, leaves enchanting notes lingering in the air, and restores your skin’s natural suppleness.
