How to prevent Stretch Marks
The prevention of stretch marks is crucial to teenagers during puberty, as well as for body builders who are developing muscle at a fast rate. The avoidance of stretch marks is especially important, however, to pregnant women. Actually, anyone who is growing quickly is prone to suffer from stretch marks.
The expansion of the belly during pregnancy is one of the most clear examples of the adult human body growing quickly. The use of an anti stretch mark cream is the best way to prevent scarring, however, the success of the prevention varies with the quality of the cream. Simple moisturizers, like cocoa butter, offer very little protection against stretch marks, also called striae. Products that contain minor amounts of collagen and elastin or that are packed with them do no more than briefly moisturize the skin and can not be more effective than cocoa butter creams in striae prevention.
The only effective products for the prevention and repair of stretch marks are those that contain substances that stimulate your body to produce collagen and elastin at a quick pace, and to dissolve damaged skin cells.
Elastin and Collagen rich Products are More Efficient than Simple Moisturizing Products
Collagen and elastin are proteins which occur naturally in the skin. Collagen is, in fact, the skin's building block which confers it the ability to bind. Elastin is also a fundamental protein found in our skin, which gives it the ability to stretch. Both must be built from within the body, and not merely "added" to your skin. External addition of bovin collagen or elastin do no more than briefly attract moisture to your skin and do not prepare the skin to avoid tearing when over-stretched.
Stretch Marks appear when the skin is pushed beyond its ability to stretch, so that it actually tears, ending-up in stretch marks. Giving the skin a greater ability to stretch can prevent the tears from happening, thus avoiding stretch marks. Rubbing in a cream loaded with allantoin and skin regenerating peptides that stimulate your body to quickly produce collagen and elastin is the simplest and best method to give skin that level of elasticity.
A treatment that contains an organic antibiotic ingredient can fight acne and skin infections efficiently, without attracting any irritation or bacterial resistance. You can benefit from this type product by applying it twice a day, every day, and for a prolonged period of time. This treatment aims to gradually eliminate scars, stretch marks and blemishes.
With repeated use, a product that exfoliates damaged cells and gently dissolves skin lesions, reduces scars and removes flaws can help heal damaged skin. It can also destroy pathogens and create an environment that stimulates the synthesis of normal collagen.
