Beauty & Health Suggestions

Avoiding pregnancy stretch marks is very relevant to most expecting mothers, with good reason. Pregnancy can leave behind extreme stretch marks in the stomach area, as well as stretch marks (also called striae) on the breasts and hips. These striae usually start out as highly discolored patches of scar tissue. They are often reddish or purplish in color. As time goes by, they can fade out to a silvery white, but their unpleasantly rippled appearance will remain the same.

Avoiding pregnancy stretch marks is as easy as increasing the skin's capability to stretch. Striae are caused when the skin is stretched too far, too fast, causing tiny tears and little rips. These tears heal, and are substituted by scar tissue. These rippled ridges of discolored scar tissue are what we call stretch marks. Improve the skin's capability to stretch, and the rips and tears will never happen in the first place.

The body has its own method for preventing pregnancy stretch marks. It sends collagen and elastin to the rescue. Collagen and elastin are 2 proteins which are part of our skin. They confer skin its capability to stretch. Increase the body's levels of collagen and elastin, and you'll endow your skin with the capacity to stretch further, naturally.

Erase Stretch Marks with Natural Ingredients

Instead of applying a mere moisturizer into your skin twice a day, rub in a product that has ingredients that will trigger the synthesis of these basic proteins. Many lotions contain trace amounts of collagen and elastin, and some are loaded with them, but sadly they both miss the point. There is no use in trying to supply proteins to your skin from the outside-in. They must be generated as part of the architecture of your skin and thus from within. If you want to apply a potent anti-stretch mark product, use a cream that has the capacity to activate your skin's own restoration systems: a cream that will trigger the replacement of damaged skin cells with new healthy skin cells from within.

Creams that contain natural ingredients such as snail serum utilize biological activators from your body's own regenerative processes to avoid and eliminate stretch marks. They trigger and control an orderly synthesis of collagen, elastin and GAGs.

While using this type of cream twice a day, for a period of time, depending on how old and deep the blemishes are, the cream softly dissolves skin lesions, reducing and even eliminating all signs of stretch marks. It also optimizes skin's elasticity, elevating density and moisture retention capacity.
