Cream (stretch marks)
Stretch marks occur when the skin is stretched beyond its natural elasticity. The skin's elastic fibres are damaged and cannot contract again. This results in the characteristic red-blue stripes under the skin. Since stretch marks occur in the subcutaneous tissue, they are difficult to treat. Unfortunately, there is no proven effective treatment. However, you can help the skin by moisturising it and providing it with the nutrients it needs.
Stretch marks are most common in pregnant and People who have experienced quick weight changes. This is because the skin stretches when you gain weight over a short period of time. Muscular men can also get stretch marks on their arms.
Stretch marks fade in colour over time. In the beginning, they are bright blue-red in colour and easy to spot. Over time, the colour changes and many become the same colour as the rest of the skin. You can help your skin by moisturising it and also using a stretch mark cream. Body Lotion from Australian Bodycare contains tea tree oil and lactic acid esters to keep your skin healthy and moisturised.
