Skin Care Creams: the Best Ingredients for Scars and Stretch Marks

Our skin is constantly having to adapt to external and internal changes. The biggest sign of this forced adaptation are the scars and stretch marks that are left behind. In order to treat these signs, you can choose any number of options.

The list of treatments is long so for now we'll just concentrate on the mildest treatment options: skin care creams. This type of treatment may be lengthier, but it will be much gentler on your skin than treatments like dermabrasion and chemical peels. This becomes very important especially when treating sensitive skin and dry skin.

A Viable Alternative - Scar Treatment Creams

Scars normally appear as part of the natural healing process. Their extent is mostly due to the severity of the trauma, however, the treatment for scars is wide and varied.

These treatments include surgery and skin resurfacing techniques. However, as mentioned before, gentler methods may be more adequate for minor scars and sensitive skin types.

For example, a skin care cream is a good option if you are trying to remove facial scars. Body scars may require a stronger alternative. In this case, try using a microdermabrasion cream.

Scar creams should contain ingredients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin A and essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6). These elements crucial and help repair skin while boosting the growth of healthy, new cells.

Snail serum is also an excellent ingredient when it comes to scar removal. It contains copper peptides that can increase the rate of skin renewal which is done by triggering the formation of new capillaries, collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans.

Stretch Marks Treatment Creams

Stretch marks are bothersome striations on the skin. These underneath scars are caused by rapid stretching of the skin, however the only real problem they cause are self esteem issues.

Stretch marks usually surface during a point in time when the body grows or stretches too quickly. Growth spurts and pregnancy are two of the most likely causes of stretch marks. Another cause is rapid weight fluctuations that can be accompanied by the appearance of stretch marks around the abdomen, upper arms, and thighs.

Stretch marks creams, like scar creams, contain special ingredients that help reduce the appearance of these striae. One of the most effective stretch mark ingredients is rose hip oil. This natural ingredient has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes in South Amercia to treat different skin problems.

This product is rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and essential fatty acids.

As stated before, Vitamin C promotes the production of collagen and elastin, while Vitamin A helps increase the rate of cell turnover and replacement of skin cells. Essential fatty acids are crucial for the reparation of the skin in general.

BERRYSISTIBLE CREAM is a natural skin care product that offers safe and effective skin maintenance and regeneration. You can use it as a scars treatment cream to deal with acne scars or use it to treat burns scars. If you want to treat your stretch marks, try another natural skin care product like BIOROSEHIPOIL.
