WHAT ARE STRETCH MARKS?
This is the tearing of the skin’s second layer (the dermis). Often occurs during periods of significant weight gain or growth.
HOW TO PREVENT THEM?
Some studies suggest Vitamin E oil…
Stay hydrated, eat foods that promote skin elasticity (Vitamins A, E, Omega 3s) and exercise to promote circulation.
HOW TO REMOVE THEM?
You can reduce them but you can’t remove them… and sadly, the creams don’t work! Not even cocoa butter 🙁
The sooner you treat stretch marks the better. Use a laser while they’re still fresh and red. The heat from the laser stimulates collagen production.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Accept yourself girl! Most of us have stretch marks and we’re still beautiful!
