How Effective Is Stretch Mark Cream

By: Peter Rod Home | Health-and-Fitness | Beauty


Different methods are adopted to get rid of ugly looking stretch marks and stretch mark cream is one of them. Everyone hates to have them on the body as they really affect your self confidence and esteem. Even a good figure can be completely ruined by them. A cream to remove stretch marks can help a lot. Skin is elastic in nature. It contains elastin and collagen which is mainly responsible for allowing the skin to stretch as required during the normal process of growth. There is no specific time when these marks appear on the body; they appear at any time during the teenage years and after that.

Selecting the right cream:

Striae Gravidarum is the clinical term for stretch marks. These marks appear because delicate fibers within the skin stretch and snap. When hormonal changes take place at the time of puberty, the body is most exposed to developing the marks. This is the time when a lot of teenagers are on the perpetual look out for creams that address stretch removal. Pregnant women can start application of vitamin E oil during the first trimester itself to reduce unsightly lines on the skin. Many different types of creams are available in the market, but it is very essential to buy good quality and branded products which are a little expensive, instead of causing your skin more harm than good.

Many companies promise, removal of these marks within a short period of time, but this is a claim to be questioned. It helps to follow the instructions for application mentioned on the product label carefully and avoid overuse. It will do you good to conduct some research on the products available in the market and if possible, talk to those who have used them before. Some of the best creams are organic in nature and are very popular for their ingrained healing properties. Stimulating the elastin and the collagen in the skin is also possible by liberally applying Vitamin E, C and D oils.

Another very popular method of ridding the skin of these marks is using chemical peels. Besides stretch mark cream, the latest is a method called microdermabrasion. This is a very popular way out, where surface skin is removed by following the abrasion process. Fine lines, wrinkles and uneven surfaces can be removed by this cosmetic procedure. At times when there is no other alternative left, a lot of people turn to such imposed exfoliation. However, over the years the best and most proven solution is to eat healthy, drink plenty of water throughout the day and follow a regular exercise routine.
