Stretch marks are not life threatening, but they can significantly affect your self-esteem. Stretch marks usually appear around the thighs, hips, abdomen, and the upper arm area. They are the natural result of sudden weight fluctuations mostly due to growth spurts and pregnancy.

Stretch marks appear because there is so much pressure excerted on the skin that it is pushed beyond its elastic limit. The extreme push produces a tear that the body tries to repair by producing scar tissue to compensate for the excessive stretching. The first stages of a stretch mark make it appear reddish-purple but it will eventually turn into a silvery-white color.

For the most part, this scar tissue can be covered up with clothing. However, most people that have stretch marks are condemned to spend hot summer months covered in clothing in hopes of keeping their stretch mark problems under wraps.

How Stretch Marks can be Prevented

If you want to prevent stretch marks from appearing, you need to make sure that your skin is at its best. This means that the skin needs to be flexible enough to adapt easily to changes in body size.

Stretch mark prevention is an effective way of avoiding this problem, but to do so you need to use a high quality skin cream that contains elastin and collagen stimulators. These stimulators will help contribute to the production of elastin and collagen which will ultimately help prevent the appearance of stretch marks.

Another preventive measure is making sure that you lose ore gain weight gradually. By doing this, your will give you skin the chance to stretch gradually without tearing.
