How to Avoid Strech Marks

Do anyone know any woman out there who doesn’t have stretch marks?

* It is impossible. Let us see some important facts about stretch marks.

* Stretch marks are a form of scarring. They usually occur during puberty or

as the result of excessive weight gain, such as during pregnancy.

* Stretch marks are the result of skin being stretched beyond its natural
elasticity. This stretching causes a disruption of the body’s collagen
production. Collagen is a special protein that helps keep the skin elastic and,
therefore, able to stretch when we gain weight.

* Stretch mark are generally rough and uneven. In women with light skin,

they are usually a pink or reddish-brown color.

closely. Stretch marks generally fade after weight lost. Drinking plenty of water helps maintain the skin’s
elasticity.

* To help avoid stretch marks during this time of the pregnancy, and
at any other time, be sure to regularly apply rich body creams, cocoa butter,
olive oil or shea butter on your skin. Make sure to consult with a doctor first.

way to avoid stretch marks is to simply monitor your diet and maintain a
healthy body weight.

surgeries available to help with lessening the visibility of stretch marks,
but they can’t get rid of stretch marks completely.

* The best option is to cover up the stretch marks.

* Through precautions and a healthy lifestyle, most women can help minimize
stretch marks.
