Six Ways to address Stretch Marks
Stretch marks, also called striae distensae or striae gravidarum, look like indented streaks in your skin. They may be red, purple, or silver in appearance. Stretch marks most often appear on the:
stomach
chest
hips
bottom
thighs
They are common in pregnancy, but anyone can develop stretch marks in any phase of life.Even if youβre at increased risk of stretch marks, there are some things you can do to reduce your risk and treat the stretch marks you already have
1. Control your weight
One of the most helpful things you can do to prevent stretch marks, whether youβre pregnant or not, is to maintain a healthy weight. Stretch marks can happen when your skin pulls apart quickly due to rapid weight gain. You may also notice stretch marks after rapid weight loss
2. Stay hydrated
Drinking enough water may help keep your skin hydrated and soft. Soft skin doesnβt tend to develop stretch marks as much as dry skin does. The Institute of Medicineβs current recommendations for daily water intake are 104 ounces for men and 72 ounces for women
3. Eat a nutrient-rich diet
Stretch marks may also occur if you lack nutrition in certain areas. Eating foods that boost skin health may help. Make sure your diet includes foods rich in: vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, zinc, protein
4. Include vitamin C in your diet
Collagen plays a role in keeping your skin strong and elastic. It helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, but it may also be important for preventing stretch marks. Vitamin C is an important nutrient for the development of collagen. Vitamin C can be found in many fruits and vegetables. Citrus fruits, such as oranges and lemons, are especially good sources of vitamin C.
5. Soak up some vitamin D
One study found a correlation between low levels of vitamin D and the incidence of stretch marks. More research is needed, but results suggest that maintaining healthy levels of vitamin D may reduce your risk of stretch marks. The easiest way to get vitamin D is through exposure to the sun.
6. People suffering from stretch marks often need to avoid some clothing. Stretch marks can be caused by childbirth, cream, excess fat etc.
One very effective way of removing stretch marks is to apply hot towel over the affected area for some minutes after bathing (mostly at night), then apply the Longrich charcoal bamboo soap on the spot, use a firm cling to wrap it, leave it for 1 hour or more, then remove and apply Longrich SOD cream
