For less visible stretch marks. For you.
Dealing with stretch marks? Stretch marks are not a scarecrow, it is a common reality for most women. Discover a solution that can alleviate their symptoms, give the skin elasticity and soften it.
1 — What are stretch marks?
They are deep skin scars. They occur when the skin is forced to grow rapidly. Like other scars, they can be permanent but can also fade over time. The breasts, abdomen, back, buttocks and thighs are most often affected.
2 — Where do they come from?
Stretch marks occur in the second layer of the skin (derma) as a result of the rupture of elastic and collagen fibers. They often appear during adolescence, weight gain, menopause or pregnancy – in connection with hormonal changes.
3 — Can they be avoided?
To a large extent yes, but not completely. Adequate hydration, a diet rich in zinc, vitamin D, regular creaming of the skin of the whole body (twice a day) or regular exercise can definitely help.
4 — How to alleviate them?
It’s most important to keep the skin hydrated, increase its elasticity and flexibility, and to apply ingredients that have a smoothing, soothing and firming effect. It includes argan oil, tamanu oil, vitamin E (almond oil), vitamin A and squalane.
5 — Not-so-fun fact
More than 90% of women have stretch marks on their body.
