Stretch Marks

   Skin is notably elastic,but there are limits to its capacity to stretch. One such limit is evident in the visible skin blemish generally called “stretch marks” . Usually stretch marks develop abruptly and progress slowly from pink to violet colour, then to an ivory white or sometome nacreous hue.They never dissapear although with time they may fade. normally appear on the buttocks, hips, abdomen, breast, and arms. They are a common side effect of growing too fast. They form when the dermis (the middle elastic layer of your skin) is stretched breaking down the elasticity in your skin. As the elasticity breaks down, the skin tries to reinforce itself with collagen in the over stretched skin, thus causing stretch marks.

and who is candidate for stretch marks? If your are during pregnancy, bodybuilding, or weight loss.

But don’t worry about it, Here are some useful tips on prevention and treatment.Stretch marks are purplish streaks and scars that normally appear on the buttocks, hips, abdomen, breast, and arms. They are a common side effect of growing too fast. They form when the dermis (the middle elastic layer of your skin) is stretched breaking down the elasticity in your skin. As the elasticity breaks down, the skin tries to reinforce itself with collagen in the over stretched skin, thus causing stretch marks.

Factors that contribute to the formation of stretch marks are:

Heredity - some skin types are just genetically predisposed. If you mother had stretch marks, chances are you will.

Weight - excess rapid weight gain as found in pregnancy and bodybuilding or to the other degree excessive weight loss.

Skin type - Some skin types are dryer than others thus having less elasticity, while well-hydrated skin tends to have more elasticity.
