Stretch marks (also called striae) concern all of us. Many people assume they’re origin is pregnancy related, which in essence means that only women going through pregnancy or women who have already had children need to worry about them. This simply isn’t true.
Body builders usually suffer from striae, and most of these body builders are men. People that easily experience weight fluctuations are also susceptible to stretch marks. Teens are usually afflicted with striae during “growth spurts”. In short, anytime skin is stretched rapidly or dramatically, striae are apt to appear.
That means that striae can appear in men and women, and they can also affect children, teens, and adults. They affect people of every race and ethnicity, as well. What are striae, and why do they occur?
Skin is a remarkable organ. Not only is the largest organ of our body, but also one of the most complex. Skin protects our internal organs, helps us eliminate wastes, and processes external elements, such as solar light, for our benefit. One of skin’s most remarkable characteristics is its ability to stretch.
Collagen and Elastin – Needed for Stretch Mark Free Skin
Elastin and collagen are two of the building blocks of skin. Collagen and elastin are both proteinic fibers, with elastic properties. Collagen is a binding agent in skin. It’s the building block of connective tissue. Elastin provides skin with, you guessed it, its elasticity.
And the skin is extraordinarily elastic. However, sometimes skin is over-stressed, stretched beyond its ability to resist. At these times, the skin plainly tears. These little tears and tiny rips heal, resulting in scar tissue. The scar tissue that results from these small rips in the skin is called stretch mark.
But stretch marks are not forever anymore. There are natural ingredients that trigger the replacement of flawed skin cells and that synthesize new healthy collagen and elastin and skin cells from within your body. These products utilize natural activators, similar to your own regenerative processes, to prevent and eliminate stretch marks, they trigger and regulate an orderly synthesis of collagen and elastin as a base to reconstruct damaged skin.
Applying products that contain natural ingredients like snail serum and Rose Hip Oil (at least two times a day depending on the characteristics of the blemishes) you can dissolve flawed cells, minimizing and even eliminating all signs of stretch marks. These natural ingredients also create an environment that trigger the regeneration of normal collagen, improving skin firmness.
