Stretch Marks.. All You Need To Know And Do...

Stretch Marks appear on the body in different places for different reasons. Stretch marks occur when the dermis, the middle layer of the skin, is stretched to a point where its elasticity begins to break down.  As the dermis is stretched, the epidermis (which is the outer layer of the skin), also stretches, thereby leaving a visible scar on the skin, otherwise known as stretch marks.

Causes of stretch marks include weight gain, heavy weight lifting, pregnancy, using bleaching creams, stress, or even adolescence. Strech marks are commonly found on breasts, arms, thighs, stomach, and buttocks. Other uncommon places could be legs and backs.

Can Stretch Marks Go Away?
Well, not completely on their own. But with the help of creams, oils and Laser light therapy, they can fade to a point where they become completely not noticeable.

Expecting stretch marks to fade away quickly is unrealistic as you should bear in mind that the damage is done from the inner layer of the skin.

Based on research, I will recommend natural and cheap recipes one can use to reduce stretch marks.

Firstly, it is vital to note that your skin is nourished based on what you eat. So a balanced diet is key. Staying away from junk food will go a long way in healing the scars caused by stretch marks. You also need to drink a lot of water daily, so try swapping your soda for water. Also try eating foods that are rich in Vitamins A, E, C and minerals such as veggies, fish, almonds, eggs, beans, etc. A balanced diet rich in these vitamins as listed can keep your skin healthy and help prevent or heal stretch marks.

Natural Shea butter (or OREE) is a great remedy to reduce stretch marks. Its high in Vit. A and E. Try rubbing shea butter on your marks 2ce or 3ce a day.
