| How to get rid of stretch marks? |
Can you get rid of stretch marks? This question sounds quite simple, yet
the answer is not so easy at all! If you would ask ten skin specialists this
question, you are very likely to get back ten different answers, spread all
across the board!
On one side of the stretch mark debate are those skin specialists who believe that the answer
to the question “can you really get rid of stretch marks” is a definite “no”.
The various reasons behind this firm rejection is most often being associated
with collagen. A lot of skin
specialists out there believe that once collagen is being / has been decreased
in a specific area of the body, there is no way to regenerate that collagen which
in effect would prevent the skin to properly heal and being restored to its
normal elasticity.
On the flip side of the stretch mark debate are the (positive minded) skin
specialists who believe that stretch marks certainly CAN be fixed. There have
been reports from several tests which seem to indicate that it IS possible to
rebuild the level of collagen in our beloved skin. These tests show us as well
that it doesn’t take extremely intense prescription drugs to rebuild the collagen
in our skin. Many people, in particular pregnant women, have reported a reduction
in their stretch marks after they used common products in the likes of Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion
for Stretch Marks and similar specialized products. These kind of products usually
cost less than €4,00 (or 5 US dollar) and are widely available just about
anywhere products for the skin are sold, both in retail shops and on the
internet.
Moisturizing the skin is in most cases a very helpful preventive measure against
the formation of those ugly stretch marks. And since the world of skin
specialists is still largely divided on this very subject, you will basically need
to decide for yourself which side of the debate you want to believe. I
would say, give the stretch mark products a fair chance and see what happens.
One thing is sure, it won’t hurt you nor your skin!
