Today we offer eight natural remedies against stretch marks.
Stretch marks, or striae dermo-epidermal atrophies, are scars that occur on the skin due to the breakdown of elastic fibers in the dermis.
Indelible and 99% permanent, they initially present a reddish appearance but fade with time, becoming white and shiny.
The most affected areas are abdomen, breasts, buttocks, thighs and hips; they occur following changes in the body, during adolescence, pregnancy, weight loss after dieting. They can be prevented by moisturizing the skin, applying creams that improve skin elasticity, exercising and maintaining a healthy diet.
