What are stretch marks? Stretch marks are stripes on the skin, caused by the distention of skin, often found on the stomach, inner thighs, hips, breasts and upper arms. Stretch marks occur when the skin is being stretched. Our skin has high elasticity, but if it’s being stretched a lot, at a faster rate than normal, the production of the major protein that created our skin’s connective tissue, called collagen, is disrupted, creating scars. What causes stretch marks? Some things that cause stretch marks are pregnancy or quick weight gain. People who gain large masses of muscle, such as body builders, are also prone to stretch marks. Don’t let the fear of stretch marks keep you from lifting weight and having children, there’s absolutely nothing bad or unnatural about stretch marks. What do stretch marks look like? When you first get stretch marks, they may be purple, red, or a dark pink color. They’re small lines, similar to tiger stripes. They often seem to have a different texture than the rest of your skin. After a while, they do fade to a very faint, white color. Is it bad if I have stretch marks? Absolutely not! Stretch marks are completely NORMAL. If you’re going through puberty, don’t be upset if you find that you have stretch marks. A lot of young women get them. Men can also get them. I’m really self conscious of my stretch marks, what do I do? First, you shouldn’t be self conscious or ashamed of your stretch marks. They’re entirely normal and natural, it’s part of being a human. If you’re too embarrassed to bare your fierce tiger stripes, which you shouldn’t be, you can try some of the solutions listed below! How do I get rid of stretch marks? Your stretch marks may disappear over time, but if not, here are a few things you can try to make them fade, or make them disappear: -Talk to a dermatologist. If you’re a teen or young adult, they may not recommend anything, as your bodies aren’t done growing, so you still may gain stretch marks. Keep in mind, dermatologist remedies will be costly. -You can try various oils. I’ve heard that Bio-Oil works well, as well as baby oil & even coconut & olive oils. -Shea butters & vitamin E creams have been known to work fairly well. -Frank body scrub/caffeine scrubs are also known to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks. *None of these are promises. These are just some remedies that have been known to work well.

Zablude o strijama koje treba razbiti Strije su dovoljno neugodne da nam mogu pokvariti mnoge planove kupovini odjeće, pa je dobro razbiti neke uobičajene mitove Strije su živa muka, jer jednom kad ih dobijete, gotovo ih se nemoguće riješiti. Da bi stvar bila gora, o njima kruže razni mitovi koji zapravo samo rade dodatne probleme. Već smo pisali kako se riješiti strija, pa se sada možemo koncentrirati na razbijanje mitova. Tako se često tvrdi da samo trudnice mogu imati strije, što naravno nije istina jer se pojavljuju kod bilo koga tko naglo mijenja težinu. Jednako tako, trudnicama se strije ne pojavljuju samo na trbuhu koji se najviše rasteže, već i na grudima, bedrima, stražnjici i nadlakticama. Spriječiti ih je teško, ma što vam govorili o tome, jer jedini način da makar smanjite rizik od pojave strija je briga o prehrani i koži. Naravno, strije se najčešće pojavljuju na mjestima na koži koja inače baš ne njegujemo. Hoće li strije nestati kad vratite staru kilažu? Neće, jer se rastegnuta koža ne može vratiti u prvobitno stanje, no mogu izblijediti toliko da ne budu odmah vidljive. Kreme za strije jedna su od lukrativnijih grana kozmetičke industrije, no i one nisu svemoćne. Ako ih odlučite koristiti, treba ih nanositi redovito, a ne povremeno i pokazat će se određeni rezultati, no, ništa bolji od onih koje možete postići kremama iz kućne radinosti. >> Prirodna sredstva protiv strija >> Za kraj, tvrdi se da mladi ne mogu dobiti strije. Naravno da je pogrešno, jer upravo nagli rast u tim godinama stvara strije, koje se u početku ne uočavaju, no s godinama i novim kilama postaju vidljive.
