Stretch Mark Tips

Stretch Mark Tips

Stretch marks arise when the skin is permanently damaged and stretched. While Stretch marks are most often caused during pregnancy or puberty, they can also arise after a significant weight gain or loss or if you body build. While the only way to truly get rid of them is through laser surgery, there are several Stretch Mark Treatments and Stretch Mark Creams for prevention and reduction.

Prevention Tips

As any doctor will tell you, prevention is the best medicine. While it's challenging to reverse the effects of stretch marks, it is possible to help prevent them. When the color of the stretch mark is red there's a better chance of reducing the permanent damage, but when it's silver in color, it's virtually impossible to remove.

Japanese Camellia Oil

For prevention during pregnancy (and even puberty), start applying Elemis Japanese Camellia Oil (Made with Japanese White Nut Camellia Oil) to the skin, which improves elasticity as the skin stretches to prevent Stretch Marks. Nicky recommends Elemis Japanese Camellia Oil.
