About 90% of pregnant women get stretch marks because skin has been pulled and stretched rapidly during the course of pregnancy. When the underlying tissue grows faster than the skin covering it, small tears occur in the epidermal surface. Scar tissue grows in these tears to create unsightly stretch marks.

The best way to get rid of stretch marks is to prevent them from forming in the first place because once skin is scarred, removing scars completely is often nearly impossible. Therefore, prevention is key.

A simple and convenient way of preventing stretch marks from forming is to use a reliable stretch mark cream. There are many brands on the market with some containing natural ingredients such as squalene oil, vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin D3 as well as aloe vera and grapefruit seed extracts.

Together they form a powerful new blend that increases the elasticity of your skin and stimulate the production of new skin cells.
