Preventing pregnancy stretch marks is very relevant to most expecting mothers, with good reason. Pregnancy can result in extreme stomach stretch marks, as well as stretch marks (also called striae) all over your breasts and hips. These striae commonly start out as highly discolored patches of scar tissue. They are often reddish or purplish in color. As years go by, they can fade out to a silvery white, but their undesirably rippled appearance will remain the same.

Preventing pregnancy stretch marks is as easy as enhancing the skin's ability to stretch. Striae appear when the skin is stretched too far, too fast, resulting in tiny tears and little rips. These lesions heal, and are replaced by scar tissue. These rippled ridges of pale scar tissue are what we call stretch marks. Improve the skin's ability to stretch, and the rips and tears will never appear in the first place.

The body has its own method for avoiding pregnancy stretch marks. It sends collagen and elastin to the rescue. Collagen and elastin are 2 proteins which are part of our skin. They confer skin its ability to stretch. Elevate the levels of collagen and elastin in the body, and you'll endow your skin with the capacity to stretch further, naturally.

Dimish Stretch Marks with Natural Ingredients

Instead of rubbing a simple moisturizer into your skin two times a day, rub in a cream that has ingredients that will stimulate the synthesis of these basic proteins. Many lotions contain trace amounts of collagen and elastin, and some are loaded with them, but sadly they both miss the point. There is no use in trying to add proteins to your skin from the outside-in. They must be generated as part of the architecture of your skin and thus from within. If you want to use a strong anti-stretch mark cream, use a cream that has the capacity to stimulate your skin's own restoration mechanisms: a cream that will activate the replacement of flawed skin cells with new healthy skin cells from within.

Creams that contain natural ingredients such as snail serum utilize biological activators from your body's own restorative processes to avoid and erase stretch marks. They stimulate and control an orderly synthesis of collagen, elastin and GAGs.

Using this type of cream two times a day, for a period of time, depending on how old and deep the blemishes are, the cream gently dissolves skin lesions, reducing and even eliminating all traces of stretch marks. It also improves skin's elasticity, increasing density and moisture retention capability.
