If you are of obsessed with how to get rid of stretch marks then here’s the best way I’ve found to go about it.
It may seem crazy to say that the first thing you need to do is to understand what stretch marks actually are and how they are caused. Although we are not skin experts that need to know all the technical jargon it is beneficial to know a bit about the scars you have so that you know the best treatments and solutions to use.
It is possible to reduce and fade stretch marks but prevention is definitely much easier! Stretch marks are basically damaged skin that has been overstretched and its the fibers in the deeper layers of the skin that tear and cause the scar marks.
So as you can can see the best method on to get rid of stretch marks involves making sure the skin is not stretched suddenly and/or making it more elastic for less chance of overstretching.
It is effective to try to ensure the skin is not stretched and improve elasticity at the same time. However, there are times like pregnancy and sudden growth spurts that are outwith your control which is why its best to improve elasticity too.
