Skin Details

Many people who are afflicted with stretch marks are self conscious about them, especially in the initial stages when the blemishes have a red or purple appearance. Certain individuals are more prone to get them than other people. The good news is there is a great deal you can do when it comes to stretch mark prevention.

Stretch marks appear when the body grows too swiftly and the skin can't keep pace. Teenage girls normally develop stretch marks on their hips and thighs. They could also arise if you develop muscle volume in the gym, if you gain lots of weight quickly or if you are with child. Stretch marks are the consequence of the middle layer of skin, called the dermis, tearing as the collagen breaks. The scars are apparent on the outer layer of skin, known as the epidermis.

Watch your weight: It's well recognized that speedy increase in weight is one of the reasons for stretch marks. Therefore it should be obvious that the most effectual tactic to avert them is to not pack on the pounds quickly. If you're a weight lifter try to expand your muscle mass progressively. If you are a female who would like to prevent stretch marks in the course of pregnancy try to ensure you increase weight slowly. Also, you need to maintain your weight gain at the recommended rate, which is normally in the range of 25 to 35 pounds. If you are not a weight lifter and you're not expecting a baby, just aim to sustain a healthful body mass index in the range of 20 to 25 if you would like to keep stretch marks from developing.

Healthy eating: Folks who consume a nutritious and sensible diet are more apt to keep to a normal body mass index and are hence less inclined to stretch marks. Furthermore, particular micronutrients are good for the skin.If you want to prevent stretch marks, you will need to consume a diet rich in zinc, silica, fatty acids and vitamins A, C and E. If you do not get these micronutrients from your food intake you may want to think about using nutritional supplements.

Keep your skin moisturized: The collagen inside the skin is more inclined to breakage and stretch marks if the skin is parched. Consequently if you wish to prevent stretch marks it helps to be sure that your skin has adequate water. You can help hydrate your skin by ensuring that you drink the recommended eight glasses of water each day. You might also wish to try a high quality cream, lotion or oil for your body. Products that include vitamin A, E or cocoa butter are believed to be particularly helpful for this purpose.
