Ways to Reduce or Remove Stretch Marks
By joyce • Feb 12th, 2009 • Category: Stretch MarksStretch marks are much more commonplace that you think. In fact stretch marks happen to men and children as well, not just women. The bad news is that you cannot remove stretch marks 100%, but the good news is that you can treat, cure and reduce them till they are barely visible.
When the skin is suddenly stretched and reduces back to it’s normal size, you get stretch marks. The stretched part of the skin however has lost it’s elasticity and forms a “bump” scar line that is visible.
One popular way to reduce the appearance of lines is by using stretch mark creams and lotions. It’s a slow process no doubt, but safe and affordable. Stretch mark lotions and creams can be easily obtained at supermarkets, pharmacies or even purchased online.
The Mustela stretch marks treatment for example, costs only about $39 online. It actively stimulates the skin cells and favors tissue regeneration, with AHA, silicium and vitamin B5. Other brands worth taking a look at are Decleor’s “Perfect Sculpt” stretch mark restructuring gel cream and HydroPeptide’s Full Body Anti Aging Moisturizer which really helps a lot in terms of repairing or curing your stretch marks.
Prevention is always the best cure whether you agree or not. Most people however, are ignorant about stretch marks until they show up on the body. By this time however it’s too late. In most cases if you apply the right cream to you skin and drink lots of water, it should be in a condition good enough to keep it elastic.
You can also look at other possible methods of stretch marks removal like vitamins, laser surgery, collagen, cocoa butter and even traditional home remedies.
So really, don’t worry about stretch marks. You’ll be shocked to know that even celebrities like Kim Kardashian and many others had stretch marks at some point. It’s just a part of your body’s natural functions and it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
