Get Ride Of Stretch Marks!

Have you ever heard of stretch marks? Of course, it is a common condition, a form of scarring on the skin. Stretch marks are common on the abdomen, breasts, upper arms, buttocks and thighs. Sometimes they can cover large areas of the body. Stretch marks seem to be caused by a stretching of the skin. Stretch marks are more extreme when coupled with an increase in cortisone, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Cortisone weakens elastic fibers in the skin.
Stretch marks develop in a variety of circumstances, including:

• Pregnancy. Most pregnant women develop stretch marks by the end of their pregnancy. The physical stretching of the skin, along with hormonal factors, likely plays a role.
• Weight gain. Stretch marks sometimes occur during substantial weight gain. Weightlifters can develop stretch marks, particularly on the arms. Adolescents may notice stretch marks during growth spurts.
• Medication use. Corticosteroid creams, lotions and pills and chronic use of oral or systemic steroids can cause stretch marks.
• Conditions or diseases. Cushing's syndrome and adrenal gland diseases can cause widespread stretch marks, as can Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and other hereditary (genetic) disorders.

Some research has shown that tretinoin cream may improve the appearance of recent stretch marks. It is somehow important especially if you want to lose weight. I recently, applied "Body Merry Stretch Mark Cream"  which has a tons of great ingredients include Organic Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Vitamins E + C + B3 + B5, Sunflower Seed Oil, Plant Stem Cells, Organic Hemp Seed Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Raspberry Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, Grape seed Oil, Organic Gotu Kala, Algae Extract and Japanese Green Tea Leaf Extract. All these great ingredients help skin become soft, smooth and moisturized.
It is very thick, lightweight, rich but not greasy. Although it smells a little bit odd to me, I should admit, it was great on stretch marks, allover my legs,tummy and my arms. It significantly faded small scars.
