Women and Stretch Marks: Some Helpful Tips About Pregnancy Stretch MarksBY: Evelyn Lalisan | Category: Others | Submitted: 2010-04-03 21:18:31
Probably considered to be a nagging problem for some women would be the presence of stretch marks on their skin. It is not a disease nor is it life threatening. It is more of a bothersome physical thing that many women wish they have less on the important areas of their body. So, what are stretch marks? Stretch marks are the tainted or marked lines that appear on the skin. These are commonly and prominently found on the surface of the skin. They look like line clusters or line groupings that you can feel when you touch them or run your fingers through the skin. The most common areas where stretch marks are found are in the belly areas, hips and the breast areas. Some may still occur in some parts of the body like the thighs and arms. For most women, having stretch marks is a beauty problem and they wish they can easily get rid of them. Most stretch marks may occur due to body changes that are experienced by most women. These often occur through pregnancy wherein a considerable amount of weight is put on by the women in a matter of few months. Still some women may have had stretch marks when their skin went through changes of losing and gaining weight. This process of changing weight may cause the skin to stretch out to support the excess weight gained, then decrease or become lose when the weight is lost; thus causing the lines to form and later on becoming more prominent on their skin. Most women turn to some health regimen to get rid of their stretch marks like doing regular exercise to make the skin tight and firm. They also watch their diets. Others turn to cosmetics and beauty products. The beauty and health industry has come out with beauty products that would help reduce stretch marks. It may be a long term effect to get rid of the marks but then most women would try anything. There are anti-stretch mark creams that are available commercially. These products have some natural ingredients in them that would help reduce the stretch marks. They come in creams or balms. These are basically applied on the skin where the marks are and these penetrate deep into the skin to work on the inner skin cells to renew and become more elastic. Most of these balms or creams contain sufficient amounts of Vitamins A and E. These also contain Alpha Hydroxyl Acids (AHA) which is derived from the Aloe Vera plant. Aside from the non-invasive solutions to reduce or get rid of stretch marks, some women may turn to complicated methods like surgery, laser and other similar treatments. Regardless, stretch marks may be not too good a sight for most women because these are looked upon as discrepancies that make their mark on the skin. It is just natural for most women to long for flawless skin. But then, perhaps, physical beauty has its own limitations and having stretch marks may be one of those limitations. It is just fair to think that stretch marks may become part of a women's life, so it would be good to accept them as they are. Just try to think that these are good marks that may remind you of some fruitful experience such as pregnancy and child birth; or that you were able to battle effectively the battle of the bulge. Perhaps, to get back at you one way or the other for not taking care of yourself properly (the reason why you gained weight aside from pregnancy) the skin has its own way of reminding you of the bad you did to it, purposely or not. But then these are just personal opinions, but nonetheless, you would get some ideas that you don't really have to stress yourself about stretch marks on your body. You can cover them up with clothes, some make-up creams and just make believe that they add to your overall character. Make your imagination stretch!
