Striae of the Skin undiscovered

Stretch marks have been known to haunt mothers who have given birth but that isn’t entirely the whole truth. Stretch Marks not only haunt mothers but people of all ages, colors and genders. Currently there is a large market for Stretch Mark Creams and Lotions. But which one of them works? This article will reveal information on some of the best Stretch Mark Remedies and how they apply to you.

What exactly is a Stretch Mark?

The definition of Stretch Mark lies within the name. The skin has been stretched so far that it leaves marks or underlying scars on the skin. This basic principal exemplifies why no one has immunities from these skin maladies. From body builders who experience rapid mass gain due to heavy lifting or young children who’s diets are out of control and gain rapid weight in their formative years, Stretch Marks can be found on anyone. So the question must be asked. How does one get rid of them? Creams and Lotions are the product of choice as they add moisture to the skin which helps reduce the prominence of scaring. Some Creams even go as far as treating the underlying scar. Some of the more effective products on the market place are as follows:
