With loads of happiness in pregnancy comes loads of tension and worrying, one such tension which most women’s fear is the signs of stretch marks.
What are stretch marks? How does it occur? So many questions arise in our little mind? Stretch marks occur to younger people during their puberty, when the skin is stretched more because of our growth. Our skin is fairly elastic but when we grow it stretches and the normal production of a protein called collagen is disrupted these scars are formed and called stretch marks.

Stretch marks occur for different reason and at different times. They occur during growth, during body building, if a person uses steroid, intakes oral corticosteroids and also during pregnancy. To keep away from pregnancy it is advisable to do little stretching exercises everyday during your first trimester. Oil keeps our skin hydrated to take some time out and oil your skin with almond oil, olive oil, coconut oil everyday. Massage is very important. Or use those stretch mark creams which are made with ingredients like aloe Vera, cocoa butter, Vitamin E.Moisturising your skin is very important. You can use a home made remedy to cure this stretch marks. Mix sandal wood powder, papaya pulp and rose water, olive oil and apply it before you take your bath, you are sure to see the change.

Doctors are always open for help but it is suggested not to shed so much from your pocket and continue with these natural remedies. Doctors can do the cool beam or blue light therapy for removal.

Stretch marks can occur sometimes due to hereditary problems also but removing stretch marks is not issues anymore if you’re planning to go for a swim with your sexy swim suit try that waterproof concealer on those areas, really helps.
