How Stretch Marks Can Be Prevented Or Repaired
By Mary Taylor, 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 homeremedy for is cocoa butter. Pregnant women, bodybuilders, or growing teenagers can rub in an ointment ofelastin, collagen, and other proteins to help prevent tearing,and subsequent scarring. The proteins promote cell regeneration,which improves the scars' appearance. Then they thicken theepidermal layer, creating a smoother top layer of skin. Thisfurther improves the look of striae, even striae that are quiteold. About the author:Dermaglow provides a range of natural and organic skin care andbeauty products.
