Stretch marks are an aesthetic problem. Getting rid of them is one of the extremely difficult tasks – they often stay with us forever. How to prevent stretch marks and eliminate the resulting changes on our skin?
Stretch marks – causes of formation
This particular type of scar is a , “souvenir” for us after all kinds of skin stretching. This problem can affect any of us – regardless of age or gender. Genetic predisposition further increases the likelihood of their appearance. So if people in your family, are struggling with this problem – the probability that stretch marks will also occur in you, is very high. In addition, their formation contributes to:
- Rapid fat and muscle growth,
- rapid growth,
- changes that occur on the body during puberty – enlargement of the thighs, breasts, buttocks, lumbosacral area, knee joint area,
- Pregnancy and the period after childbirth (the skin is then less elastic and sagging).
Stretch marks during pregnancy
The appearance of stretch marks during pregnancy is an extremely common phenomenon. It is best to prevent them in time and take proper care of the skin. Excess cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal cortex, interferes with fibroblasts, which are responsible for producing collagen fibers. The skin becomes susceptible to stretching.
Pregnancy stretch marks can appear not only on the abdomen – enlarged breasts, thighs and buttocks are places also prone to their occurrence.
- Control your weight – it’s not about starving yourself, but about eating healthy and balanced meals. Pregnancy weight should not increase more than 14 kg.
- Use stretch mark cream from the first weeks of pregnancy. Not only on the abdomen – remember that stretch marks on the breasts and thighs also pose a threat to you.
Stretch mark cream
Use it prophylactically not only during pregnancy – also if you plan to increase your muscle mass or your body is changing during puberty. You can also use stretch mark cream on the lesions that have already formed – it is best to take care of them before they become pearly. Newly formed stretch marks are pink in color – don’t wait until they fade. Remember that stretch marks do not disappear on their own, and time only works against them.
How to choose the right cosmetics for stretch marks? Make sure they contain ingredients such as soybean extract, Centella Asiatica extract, elastin and collagen (e.g. Palmers), horsetail, ivy, aloe vera, lactic acid, silicon compounds, or vitamins: A and E (e.g. Bio Oil).
Stretch mark creams should be used at least twice a day, while massaging them in a circular motion. Regularity is extremely important, as well as patience.
