Skin care is more than just about making your skin look younger. As a matter of fact, skin care is a much more global term that includes treating aging problems and skin issues such as acne, scars and stretch marks. There are a lot of products to choose from, but for now we’ll just concentrate on those made to treat scars and stretch marks.
Scars and stretch marks can affect anyone, no matter their age. Of course, a few factors such as gender and the extent of the damage will determine the extent of scar tissue. However, treatment for scars and stretch marks is basically the same for everyone.
Scar Treatment Creams and Lotions
Scars are a natural result of the healing process that occurs when the body tries to close an open wound. If the wound that was inflicted is too large, you will be more likely to develop a permanent scar. Besides cuts, acne and burns can also lead to varying degrees of scarring.
Some of the more traditional scar removal methods include surgery, laser treatment, and microdermabrasion. However, some people may choose a different, gentler route to treat these marks. A natural skin care cream especially designed for scars can be an ideal method to use especially on facial scars.
But before purchasing just any skin care product, make sure that the one you choose has the right ingredients. Natural ingredients such as Vitamin C and Vitamin A are both essential to scar repair and healthy skin.
Other natural ingredients such as omega-3 and omega-6 (essential fatty acids) can help promote the production of new, healthy cells that replace scar tissue. These ingredients can either be incorporated into a natural skin cream or incorporated to your diet.
Snail serum, also known as Helix aspersa muller extract, has also shown remarkable results as a scar removal ingredient. It contains copper peptides, which can boost skin renewal by prompting new capillary formation and triggering the creation of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans.
Stretch Marks Creams
Did you know that stretch marks are considered a scar? As a matter of fact, stretch marks form as a result of excessive stretching of the skin. The skin is overly-stretched due to extreme weight gain, growth spurts, and pregnancy. It is precisely this over-stretching that causes the skin to break and give way to stretch mark formation.
An effective stretch mark treatment is usually based on creams that contain special ingredients. One of the most effective ingredients against these striae is rose hip seed oil.
Rose hip seed oil has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes in the south of Chile. Its curative properties are partly due to the fact that it is rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin C, and essential fatty acids. Retinoic acid is an ingredient derived from Vitamin A. This ingredient helps increase the rate of cell turnover and replace epithelial cells. Furthermore, Vitamin C helps boost the production of collagen and elastin so that scars do not look as prominent.
Essential fatty acids are important for the regeneration of healthy skin membranes and the reparation of the skin. These components also make rose hip oil an ideal treatment for scars in general.
BERRYSISTIBLE Cream is a regenerative and moisturizing cream that can gently and effectively nurture your skin back to health. What’s the secret? A natural ingredient known as Helix aspersa muller extract that is now found in scars treatment creams that deal with facial scars, acne scars and burns scars. However, if stretch marks are your problem, BIOROSEHIPOIL is your best solution.
