Pregnancy Stretch Marks
Pregnancy stretch marks happen when your baby, and therefore you, start growing rapidly. Your skin and its layers start stretching and tears in the layers of your skin form.
These growth "tears" don't have the normal support structure that occurs in your skin. There's no collagen or elastin strands to support the skin and tie upper layers of skin to the lower layers and muscles.
These tears form scars that we call stretch marks!
I haven't met an expectant mother yet, who wasn't trying to control or get rid of pregnancy stretch marks.
It's one of those pregnancy side effects no one ever mentions until it's too late - like hemorrhoids and not being able to stand in your ninth month.
Avoiding Pregnancy Stretch Marks
What Works to Prevent Pregnancy Stretch Marks?
Coco butter is not your friend when you're trying to prevent pregnancy stretch marks. Although it's been a recommended stretch mark treatment for years, medical trials have proven that coco butter is no more or less effective in preventing stretch marks than any other type of oil, cream or lotion.
In order to prevent pregnancy stretch marks, you have to remember that the original tear or injury, occurred in the the deeper layers of your skin, not on the surface. So you have to treat stretch marks by healing from within or by using a topical serum or cream that is designed to penetrate multiple skin layers upon application.
One natural, no-risk stretch mark treatment is to drink water. Lots and lots of water. By staying hydrated, you give collagen and elastin the media it needs to travel throughout your skin. Drink water continually throughout the day. Don't drink the recommended amount twice a day. You intake should be one or two glasses once or twice every hour.
Effective topical delivery systems or stretch mark creams have a hidden drawback. Are they safe for use?
Even if the creams claim to be all natural - pregnant woman should not be exposed to certain certain herbs.
