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!
