Tips to Reduce Stretch Marks
July 28, 2008
When you have these stretch marks on your skin, you are now concerned at how you would actually want those to be gone. To everybody’s disappointment, stretch marks do not disappear once it shows on your skin. This stretch marks are primarily caused by pregnancy and gaining weight. While all others are not so concerned with their stretch marks, here you are, researching about it and doing just anything to have your stretch marks-free skin back.
Body Brush Can Help
If you don?t want to be too adventurous in tying to reduce stretch marks and your budget does not allow for fancy remedies, using a body brush while showering might be an option. This improves the circulation of blood to the skin helping it heal naturally, thus aiding to reduce stretch marks.
If using a cream is something that appeals to you, then there are several creams and lotions available at drug stores and supermarkets, which will moisturize the skin and make it more elastic and pliable. Any creams lotions and oils containing cocoa butter as well as vitamin E are likely to be very helpful in reducing stretch marks. While these methods can be effective and help diminish the appearance of stretch marks, if they fail, then it is best to consult a dermatologist in helping to reduce stretch marks.
When we talk about our nutritional diet, we can also work a way out for these stretch marks problem. You have to avoid the foods that are rich in silica and zinc. These two are mainly contributing to the collagen formation in the body, thus, making your skin be at risk for more stretch marks formation. On the other hand, in order to reduce the occurrence of stretch marks, you can increase your intake of vegetables and fish oils so they can help in maintaining the elasticity of the skin.
If you are disposed to spend a lot in reducing your stretch marks, you can actually undergo laser surgery for that. This laser surgery will take care of your stretch marks and will go away with it. But, if your stretch marks are not visible enough, the laser might not be able to detect it, thus, results will not always be satisfying.
It is believed that the earlier treatment on stretch marks, the better. I actually do not see any relativity to that but maybe, if you have intervened it at an earlier stage, you can still save the elasticity of your dermis layer, thus, resulting to an easier way of reducing it.
