3 Ways to Stop Stretch Marks Before they Start

by Abigail Mckenzee

Stretch marks are unsightly, but they are a part of life. Wether from pregnancy, puberty, sudden weight gain, or rapid muscle gain, they form when the dermis is stretched beyond its elastic capability. The dermis is the resilient middle layer that helps the skin retain its shape. A common problem, eighty percent of pregnant women develop stretch marks.

Even though stretch marks are unsightly, they pose no health hazard to the body. Luckily, you can halt them from occurring in the first place.

Top Three methods for stopping stretch marks:

- Drink lots of water

- Apply a moisturizer daily

- Watch your weight gain

Prevent StretchMarks

First tip is obvious, but you may ask, how does drinking water prevent stretch marks? Further than being very healthy, it helps with the elasticity of your skin. A well hydrated person has more supple skin cells, and more supple skin cells are able to stretch easily. However, a dehydrated person has crackly, itchy skin, and this skin is more prone to stretch marks.

Tip number two may not be new to you. Many doctors recommend that pregnant women moisturize their skin daily with natural skin care lotions in order to prevent stretch marks. It is the most common advice people receive for striae prevention. Daily use of a moisturizer with vitamin E and collagen elastin are great ways to prevent the occurrence of stretching the skin. Lots of people rub olive oil on their skin to keep it soft and pliable, a key to easing skin when its stretching.

Tip number three becomes clearer when we see what else causes stretch marks. When there is no support in the dermis layer of the skin, stretch marks happen. Stretching of the skin plays more of a role in where the marks occur and in what direction they run, but stretching alone is not the cause. Striae can happen on most parts of the body, but are most likely to appear in places where larger amounts of fat are stored. The most common places are the stomach, breasts, upper arms, underarms, thighs, hips, and buttocks. If your body has less fat in these areas then it is less likely that you will get stretch marks. A balanced diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in saturated fats is the key to this, as well as exercise.
