9 best creams for stretch marks

Nobody is insured against the appearance of stretch marks: neither women, nor men, nor even children. The skin defect in the form of strips causes great discomfort to their owners. First of all, it is not a very aesthetic appearance. Striae, which are formed as a result of skin overstretching, can appear on any part of the body: abdomen, thighs, lower back, back, forearms.

Depending on the date of occurrence, they change their shade. At the beginning they are red or pink in color, then the wounds under the skin heal a little and turn purple. After 5-6 months, the striae acquire a bluish tint. The last stage is white stretch marks that have lost their pigment.

It is worth remembering that at the very beginning of the appearance there is still a chance to remove them with the help of special tools, but there is only one way to get rid of very old stretch marks - to resort to the help of a beautician and remove them with a laser polishing procedure.

What are the causes of stretch marks?

1. Pregnancy. With the development of the fetus, the belly of the future mother begins to grow, as a result, scars are formed. They also appear on the breast of a woman.
2. Quick weight gain. With an intense increase in body weight, the skin does not have time to grow, the epithelium is broken, and long transverse bands appear.
3. Sharp weight loss. As with obesity, the skin cannot shrink so intensely; as a result, it loses its tone, becomes flabby, and stretch marks appear.
4. Diseases. In case of violations of the endocrine system and pancreas, connective properties of tissues are weakened.
5. Strong physical exertion. Stretch marks appear in men with intensive weight lifting, most often formed in the lumbar region and on the hips.
6. Hormonal treatment. It leads to the appearance of excess weight and even to obesity, as a result, the skin stretches, as well as with a sharp weight gain, transverse and longitudinal stripes appear.
7. Heredity. With this reason, it is necessary to start prevention in time to avoid the appearance of stretch marks.
