The Ingredients that Make Stretch Mark Creams Work
March 14, 2009 by Claire Jenkins
If you want to have soft, smooth and youthful looking skin then you need to follow a good daily routine. Various different creams can help with the effectiveness of this. But what happens when problems arise like pregnancy stretch marks. These ugly scars can drastically undo all you hard work.
It doesn't help that there is so much conflicting information out there too. It can be difficult to discern which creams really work and which ones don't. There is a big spread in the prices among different brands so how do you choose the right one?
Stretch marks are formed with when the skin is stretch beyond its limit in a very short period of time. The elasticity is broken down and scars are the result. They first appear as red or purple streaks and change to white or sliver lines over time.
Obesity and pregnancy are the most common reasons for the development of stretch marks. Many people have stretch marks at one time or another, because large percentage of the population has been overweight or pregnant at some time in their lives! It's not just women who get stretch marks, either. Few people know that they are a complaint of body builders as well.
The best treatment for stretch marks is prevention and not getting them to begin with. Keep you skin moisturized if you are pregnant or gaining weight quickly. If you already have stretch marks then you can talk to your doctor about surgery or give one of the popular stretch mark creams a try.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps to prevent the damage of stretch marks from occurring. Stretch mark creams that contain this ingredient are typically most effective. This is why cocoa butter, which is rich in vitamin E, is such a popular choice for those looking for the best ways to combat these pregnancy scars.
Another active ingredient in many products is emu oil. Emu Oil has been used by Aborigines in Australia, for thousands of years to treat scars, stretch marks, acne, heal burns, reduce inflammation and rashes, and has been used effectively in hair care products to reduce dandruff and scalp psoriasis. Emu Oil is derived from the Emu bird, a cousin of the ostrich; clinically-derived oil from its high-back is treated for its medicinal properties.
Many products can appear misleading in their descriptions and claims. Be certain to carry out your due diligence when researching these stretch mark creams. Read a few independent reviews and visit the manufacturers website. Try to only purchase from companies that will give you a full refund if you are unsatisfied for any reason.
