Skin Care Tips, Notes & More

Stretch marks may be that one skin condition you hate getting, especially during the summer.This skin lesion may prevent you from wearing a bathing suit at the beach or getting undressed in front of your girlfriends. Stretch marks that appear on the stomach occur as a result of great weight gain and loss, often due to pregnancy. Stretch marks during pregnancy are unattractive, reddish purple marks covering your hips and breasts, but are particularly inclined to affect your belly.

How Stretch Marks can be avoided

Stretch marks are produced when the skin is shoved past its ability to stretch, producing tiny tears. Upon healing, these tears are replaced with scar tissue. These rippled and pale scars are what we call striae, or stretch marks. Because scar tissue contains less pigment than normal skin, they stay paler than the rest of your skin when you tan. Striae often begin as red, angry ripples, which slowly turn into silvery white ripples as the years go by.

The skin besides being a wonderful organ happens to be the longest in your body and most complex. Collagen and elastin, two proteins that give skin its binding nature and elasticity, allow the skin to stretch to extremes. When our skin doesn't have the necessary amounts of collagen and elastin, stomach stretch marks can appear. In order to avoid stretch marks, it is helpful to rub a high quality cream that contains elastin and collagen regenerative triggers. By rubbing this it will trigger into your skin, two times a day you can help your skin's recovery. This is not done with a cream that contains bovin collagen or elastin, ingredients that only achieve a temporarily moist attraction to your skin. This is done by using a cream that contains elements similar to those found in our own bodies. You can also use a cream that triggers the replacement of flawed skin cells and the production of new collagen and elastin to repair striae that have already occurred.

There are some creams that utilize natural activators like those of your body's own regenerative processes to avoid and eliminate stretch marks. These creams trigger and regulate an orderly production of collagen, elastin and GAGs and the replacement of flawed skin with healthy skin cells.

With regular use (two times a day for a period of time depending on how serious the blemishes are) these types of cream dissolves flawed cells, gently dissolves skin lesions, shrinks and even erases all signs of stretch marks. It also destroys pathogens and triggers the regeneration of normal collagen, improving elasticity.
