If you have decided to follow a toning exercise program to fade stretch marks then one thing you want to know is whether it’s ACTUALLY going to help fade your stretch marks …
The first thing to remember is that toning will build up your muscle so you want to do it at a steady pace!
Stretch marks can occur when your skin is put under too much strain in a short period of time. So if you build up muscle too quickly your skin won’t be able to cope and more stretch marks are likely to form …
that’s definitely something we don’t want!
When you start to exercise more often, your heart can pump blood throughout your body more efficiently. That means your body can get rid of toxins better which promotes healthier looking skin.
The improvement in blood circulation also allows the body to provide nutrients to skin cells more effectively …
This brings up the question, are you eating enough vitamins and minerals and extra supplements to be provided to your skin?
You can find more information on vitamins and what foods contain a good source of these vitamins in this stretch marks treatment article.
Exercising also helps build collagen which means your skin will become stronger and more resilient to damage.
To fade stretch marks and to prevent future scars from forming, the main goal is to improve skin hydration and elasticity. Both these characteristics allow the skin to look better and stretch easier without becoming damaged.
Exercising and toning up is definitely a beneficial part of an overall stretch mark treatment plan.
Eating a healthier diet … that doesn’t mean cutting out all the nice things … just eating the bad things in moderation!
Increasing the amount of water intake will keep your skin hydrated which help in stretch marks prevention because dry dehydrated skin is more prone to developing stretch marks.
As mentioned exercising improves circulation but you can also try dry body brushing for extra help in improving your circulation.
Eating healthier, drinking more water and exercising a few times a week will provide a good internal environment for your external skin care regime.
Keeping your skin moisturised and applying creams or oils specifically formulated with vitamins will help target stretch marks from the outside.
And you’ll only get the best results if you provide the good internal environment to help your skin from the inside to work with the creams not against them!
