Stretch Marks Can Affect All Of Us
By David Stanton, Thu Dec 8th
Stretch marks can affect all of us. Many people assume the causeof (also known as striae) is pregnancy, and soonly pregnant women and mothers are affected. Body buildersoften suffer from striae, and the majority of these bodybuilders are men. People who gain a great deal of weight arealso susceptible to stretch marks. In short, anytime skin isstretched quickly or dramatically, striae are apt to appear. Not only can striae affect both men and women, but they canaffect children, teens, and adults. Skin is a remarkable organ.One of skin's most remarkable abilities is its ability tostretch. Elastin and collagen are two of the building blocks of skin.Collagen is a binding agent in skin. Elastin provides skin with,you guessed it, its elasticity.
And
the skin is phenomenally elastic. The scar tissue thataccompanies these small rips in the skin are known as stretchmarks. How Can Be Prevented or Repaired A popular home remedy for is cocoa butter.Pregnant women, body builders, or growing teenagers can rub inan ointment of elastin, collagen, and other proteins to helpprevent tearing, and subsequent scarring. The proteins promotecell regeneration, which improves the scars' appearance. Thenthey thicken the epidermal layer, creating a smoother top layerof skin. This further improves the look of striae, even striaethat are quite old.
