How to Fight Stretch Marks?
I think stretch marks are a common dermatological problem in both sexes of all ages. Stretch Mark scars are formed when our skin stretches quickly. A sudden weight gain, pregnancy, puberty, height gaining, and sudden weight loss may cause this.
The inner layer of the skin tears as the normal production of the major protein that makes up the connective tissue in our skin, collagen, is disrupted. Trying to heal the wounds, the skin increase the amount of collagen in the overstretched tissue, resulting in those familiar pinkish lines.
The first step is prevention. We must avoid unbridled diets and a sedentary lifestyle!
