Numbers show that up to 90% of all women can expect to get stretch marks from pregnancy. Stretch marks are caused by rapid lengthening of the skin as a woman suddenly gains a fairly large amount of weight in a short time, particularly during the 7th month of pregnancy onwards. As a result, the limits of the skin are passed and small tears occur that appear as red lines fading to white as time passes.
Stretch marks are commonly found on the abdomen but can be seen in other parts of the body. Many women find these marks unsightly and have tried all methods of treatment to get rid of them. One of the most popular treatments for stretch marks available on the market today due to their effectiveness and comparably low cost are stretch mark creams.
Treatment of stretch marks depends on a number of factors such as complexion, amount of stretch, age, age of the stretch marks, among others. Since each case varies considerably, different creams would have different results. But generally, a good stretch mark cream would still have some positive effects.
The Best Stretch Mark Creams Ingredients
One good way to choose the best stretch mark cream would be to check out the ingredients. Check for moisturizers (such as cocoa butter), vitamins (B5, E, D) and exfoliating ingredients (Glycolic Acid).
