Stretch Marks Remover Although stretch marks do not affect everyone who experiences these situations, they do occur quite frequently. I had them myself, and as soon as I saw the first line appear I desperately wished they would heal themselves and disappear. When stretch marks first appear, they are usually darker in color than the surrounding skin, often with a reddish or purplish appearance. However, over time stretch marks generally fade to a silvery white color, just as is the case with other types of scarring. I hated these whitish stretch marks because they looked so permanent. At least with the reddish or purplish ones they look like they might be able to heal or something. But when they’re already whitish, they look exactly like permanent scar tissue. You would think that after all these years and advances in technology someone could come up with a one step stretch marks remover, but unfortunately, this doesn’t exist yet. I used this multi-step treatment as a stretch marks remover. Although it’s not as simple as squirting something out of a lotion bottle and rubbing it on your marks, it does work, which is more important than convenience, in my humble opinion. These scars can form anywhere, but they are most common in areas where the body naturally stores fat, such as the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, lower back, and upper arms. In my case, they were all over my butt and hips. It was really unfortunate, because my butt is one of my best features and for years I felt too ashamed to show it off when the stretch marks showed up. Stretch Marks Remover There are numerous methods that people use when trying to remove stretch marks. I tried many of them myself. Some of the natural methods include using lotions, creams, and serums that are designed to help the skin rejuvenate and repair itself. Some people do have success with these methods, but the majority don’t. Of the people who do see improvement, the improvement is most likely to occur on the newer, purplish colored stretch marks and not the already silver/white older marks. Laser techniques are also commonly used to improve the appearance of stretch marks. Using laser techniques, the affected skin can be removed and new skin forms to replace it. Dermabrasion, blue light therapy, and chemical peel techniques are also commonly used, although these too are often most effective on newly formed stretch marks. Surgical methods are also quite effective for removing stretch marks, especially when the surgical procedure removes the affected skin entirely. This is often the case with “tummy tuck” surgeries, since the skin below the naval is removed during the procedure, taking the stretch marks with it. Chopping them off is the surest way to get rid of those marks, but you are left with another, possibly more obvious scar once that’s done with. Of course, surgical techniques are more expensive than other methods, and have a longer recovery time. These also might not be possible depending on where your scars are (like I said, mine were on my butt and hips). Most people tend to try the less invasive methods of removal first, relying on surgical methods as an absolute last resort. Surgery, in my opinion, should always be the absolute last resort!

Natural Ways To Get Rid Of Stretch Marks We do not want them, yet most of us have them, regardless if they are noticeable or not. Whether you are a child, teen, adult, man or woman; it seems there’s just no way to get rid of these unsightly shiny striations all over your body. Let me give you a hint: Genetics can cause them; quickly gaining or losing weight can cause them; pregnancy can cause them. They can also wreak havoc on a person’s sex life, and forget about going out in shorts or a bathing suit. Still have not gotten it? Okay, I’ll spell it out for you: S-T-R-E-T-C-H M-A-R-K-S! But is there a way to reverse stretch marks? That is a good question and it brings to mind an old wives tale about reversing stretch marks. Lotions! Yes, lotions supposedly take care of those dreaded eyesores once and for all! Do they really? Let’s face it; the people who are most prone to stretch marks are people with sudden weight gain and women who are pregnant. Make sure there are plenty of over-the-counter reverse stretch mark lotions, creams, potions that are loaded with supposed ‘natural botanical’ emulsions. But think real hard for just one minute! When is the last time you bought something, anything, over-the-counter that helped in the least bit? These ‘snake oil’ selling companies swear they have a sure-fire way to reverse stretch marks. Hogwash! Or if you want to be more politically incorrect: Bullshit! For the most part, these so called stretch mark ‘remedies’ are about as useful as a horse with no legs. So why do so many people continue buying these fraudulent products? Because they’ve been brainwashed by the media! Yes, the media! We’ve all seen the commercials: Rid yourself of those ugly stretch marks after a rough pregnancy; this product will get rid of the wrinkles under your eyes; the other thing will do this and that…it’s all you hear anymore. So, when it comes down to it, stretch mark potions such as Cocoa and Shea butters, Aloe Vera gels, pure vitamin E…. nonsense. At best, they may mask the problem for a short period. The only thing these products are good for are to moisturize your skin and granted, it does not hurt you, but with the exception of a select few, they rarely work as a reverse stretch mark fix. What you need to know: If you are someone who is having problems with their weight, or happen to be a pregnant woman, the likelihood of having stretch marks is 100%! Bringing back old ‘wives tales’ again, if they were true, tales such as; avoid scratching your stomach and/or avoid using bristles on your hairbrush to scratch your stomach during pregnancy when you can no longer stand the itching, then pregnancy lines would not exist. But they do! When the skin stretches, it starts to itch and boy does it itch! If lotions loaded with essential oils were applied, it can ease the stretching symptoms just a tad because of its moisturizing effect. Yet, there’s nothing to keep the stretch marks from developing. Here’s a fact you may not have known: Almost 80% of women suffer from some degree of stretch marks. The reason these lotions, oils and creams are not effective reverse stretch mark remedies? There are three main layers to a person’s skin and they are the topmost layer called the epidermis; the middle layer also called the dermis, and the bottom layer or the hypodermis. Stretch marks are formed in the middle layer of your skin. Stretch marks are

http://shortcutit.com/StretchMarks_issuu

nothing more than rips or tears in the middle layer of skin, which most often occurs when the skin is rapidly stretched and/or because of a hormonal imbalance (like too much estrogen). So, because stretch marks are formed in the middle layer of the skin, most lotions, oils and creams cannot reach this middle layer. And using products like Cocoa butter etc. only moisturizes the top layer and does not even touch the middle layer. So using these so-called lotions and oils and creams is next to pointless if you are looking for reverse stretch marks remedies. So the next time, you want to do something about those stretch marks do not do the lotions because the companies who sell them are lying to you! They are an expensive and ineffective way of getting rid of stretch marks. A better alternative is to use a system that makes sure the active ingredients actually get to where they are supposed to be. More about that here.

Tattoo Over Stretch Marks There are so many questions and concerns when it comes to stretch marks; one of those questions has to do with tattoos. When we are young, we figure our skin will always look as smooth and as tight as it did at 16, this is not the case. When you have a tattoo that has been done before stretch marks, it may look like a mess! In order to know if your tattoo will end up looking badly in several yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time, there are some things you can do. Since there are very few products that reverse stretch marks (they can be found!) it is usually easier to stay away from the problem in the first place. Some great questions to ask yourself regarding stretch marks and tattoos: Where is the tattoo? If you are looking to get a tattoo on the lower belly or the thigh area, you are very likely to get stretched marks here later in life. Although some people do say that a NEW tattoo can help hiding stretch marks, an old one can make them look worse. The same way that some people think a new tattoo can reverse stretch marks an older one placed in the wrong area, can make things worse. So before you go and get any ink done, think of your skin in 10 years time, how will it look and feel in that area? Think before you ink! Why does it? Some people will get a NEW tattoo done in order to rid stretch marks on the body. In some cases, this has turned out quite well, and marks are no longer visible. In most cases, the stretch marks do show though the tattoo, and is quite unflattering. Using tattoos as a way to reverse stretch marks are a bit drastic, and is often a very last resort. If you are thinking of getting a tattoo for the sole purpose of covering a set of stretch marks, I really would think twice about it. A stretch mark can be dealt with in many ways, getting a tattoo to cover it does not have to be on the top of your list. Try some topical solutions or some great over the counter methods before you give up on trying reversing stretch marks. Who is doing it? In the world of tattoos, there are many levels of skill. Some tattoo artists truly know how to do a great job, and others are merely trying to make extra money on the side. If you do end up using the later to cover up your stretch marks, you may find that you did not reverse stretch marks but did create a whole new issue! If you are looking for cover stretch marks with a tattoo, make sure that you do it the right way, and have a skilled person does the job for you. If you find it is too costly, or hard to find someone who will do a great job, maybe you need to look at new ways of covering your stretch marks. Covering stretch marks with tattoos has been done for years. Many people think that because there is something over the top of the stretch marks, they are less noticeable. This all depends on how deep the marks are and how bright they are in color. The very best way to get stretch marks to look the best they can is to use reverse stretch marks, you may find that after usage you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even need to cover your marks up at all! Stretch marks usually occur in sensitive places on your bodies, such as the belly or the thighs, these places are painful to tattoo. Covering stretch marks with tattoos, is covering the issue rather than dealing with it. A tattoo is very much like a stretch mark. Finding the best way to reverse stretch marks can be difficult if you have very little information. If you are serious, try reverse stretch marks, and you could see results much quicker than you ever thought you could! So hold the ink, and find better, more efficient ways to rid your body of stretch marks or scars of any kind. A tattoo will not get rid of your stretch marks, only cover them up with another body altering design.

How To Lose Stretch Marks Naturally So you can’t afford surgery and your existing stretch marks are becoming almost unbearable for you or your spouse or anyone else to look at so you hide behind them in full clothing on a hot summer day. There are ways to reverse stretch marks whether they are already there or you are pregnant and want to keep stretch marks from occurring at least partially. Before going any further, you must understand what causes stretch marks. The most common theory is that the skin is being stretched abnormally fast over a short period. In women, the most common time for stretch marks to occur is during pregnancy. But it doesn’t only happen to women during pregnancy. Obesity can cause stretch marks; you can be thin and have stretch marks; body building can cause stretch marks; as well as growth spurts in teenagers during adolescence…growth spurts can cause severe stretch marks. Boys tend to get stretch marks on their thighs, buttocks and shoulders. Girls tend to get stretch marks on their thighs, hips and breasts. Changes in hormones, because it disturbs the collagen levels can cause stretch marks. So can certain medications; prolonged use of hormone and steroid medications could possibly also be a culprit in the creation of stretch marks. Off and on dieting can cause stretch marks. So you see, there are a number of ways for a person to develop these unsightly lines on your body. But is there a home remedy that helps prevent or reverse stretch marks? First of all you must understand, to find a sure-fire way to naturally reverse stretch marks are few and far between and only help a select few, there are home remedies to reverse stretch marks so they are not too unbearable to look at or live with. But again, keep in mind, these home methods have not scientifically been proven to completely reverse stretch marks and I can’t point it out any clearer….IT DOESN’T HELP EVERYONE! In fact, it helps fewer than more, but it’s a start. There have been many herbalists and naturalist practitioners who recommend such products as Cocoa Butter for not only the prevention of stretch marks, but also the treatment, or reversal of stretch marks. A popular way for the prevention or reversal of stretch marks for centuries has been Cocoa Butter. It is rich in vitamin E and is naturally rich; but again, it doesn’t work for all. Another method that supposedly helps reverse stretch marks is massaging the skin with vitamin E. Vitamin E, being a powerful anti-oxidant; helps prevent radical damage to the fibers of the skin. Vitamin E has not been a proven effective way to act as a reverse stretch marks agent, but it may help in preventing them from either happening or in the least, keep them from developing so drastically. There are many natural products that are rich in Vitamin E that work as a preventative in stretch marks, some of them include: Olive Oil; Castor Oil; Aloe Vera; Ground Coffee; Peanut Butter; Turmeric (A powerful Chinese yellow spice); Beeswax; Citrus Peel; Lavender Oil, or even Grape seed Oil. Again, these methods have been used for centuries, but they don’t guarantee the reverse of stretch marks, but may go a long way in preventing them. One way in helping prevent stretch marks from forming, and it’s important to follow a tight regiment, is to keep a balanced diet that is rich in vitamins (especially vitamin C and vitamin E) and minerals which are needed to keep the skin healthy and free of stretch marks.

There are also many moisturizers on the market today (some work, some donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t) to use on a daily basis and through the action of messaging these essentials, it keeps the skin supple, it improves circulation; and by improving circulation, you are helping to heal the skin which, in turn, helps reduce the amount and severity of stretch marks. Finally, there is a revolutionary special report that was released to end the pain stretch marks cause by teaching you how to eliminate them completely. The report explains surefire ways of reversing those ungodly stretch marks that occur in so many different ways. You can find more information about it right here if you're interested.

Preventing Stretch Marks Although a person’s genetic makeup often plays a large part in whether a person is prone to getting stretch marks, there are some things one can do to help avoid them.You know what they say – prevention is the best cure! I whole heartedly agree, and hope that you apply this principle to everything concerning your health, not just stretch marks. So, first thing is first. Let’s use our common sense here. Keeping a constant weight level is the most effective method of avoiding stretch marks, since it is weight gain and growth that often causes the stretching of the skin and the subsequent scars. Maintaining a steady and healthy weight comes naturally to some people and is a life long struggle for other people. The key is to change your habits. Making healthy foods and choices a habit is the surest way to maintain your weight. Make it a habit to eat a variety of foods. Make it a habit to exercise for half and hour each morning. Make it a habit to refuse to let packaged snack foods into your house (or at least into your belly if you can’t control the whole house). Maintain your weight – it’s your responsibility. But what happens if you really need to gain or lose weight? Losing weight causes stretch marks for some people. Gaining weight causes stretch marks for a lot of people. In cases like pregnancy, body building, starting to eat normally after an eating disorder or losing weight to become healthier, you need to take precautions with your skin. Using moisturizers, vitamins, natural extracts and massage techniques are also commonly used to help the skin stay supple, which can help prevent the tearing of the skin’s fibers if your use a moisturizer that effectively reaches down to the layer of your skin where stretch marks form. This layer is called the dermis and it’s the middle layer of the skin. However, although these methods often help, they cannot be counted on to prevent stretch marks entirely. Just ask any of the women in your family if the lotions they used during pregnancy really did work. Many times you’ll hear a resounding NO! Instead of shopping for stretch mark prevention lotions, I urge you to take a better approach. Prevent your stretch marks by addressing nutrition also. Your skin needs to have enough moisture and nutrients like collagen to stretch or shrink without causing tears in the dermis to form. Give your skin what it needs starting at the inside. A more thorough explanation is provided in the Reverse Stretch Marks system bonus guide about preventing stretch marks. The main things you need to be aware of though, is to ensure adequate hydration, eat a wide variety of foods and don’t skimp on any kind of food because it could mean that you’re lacking a vital nutrient that your skin needs for preventing stretch marks

Dark Stretch Marks In the world of stretch marks, there are “new” stretch marks and “old” stretch marks. The latter is always much harder to deal with. Many people who have old stretch marks think that they are much too dark to reverse stretch marks, such as this. This is, gladly not true. When you have dark stretch marks, it can sometimes be easier to get rid of them, than a light one. This is because light ones have already faded and become part of the skin, while the dark ones are still forming. As the dark marks are forming, you have time to treat them, and insure that you do not have them for life! (What a great feeling to know you can solve your stretch mark issues!) Reverse stretch marks can help you with these dark stretch marks, by making them lighter and far less noticeable. When you use a product that contains only natural and pure ingredients it is easy to better understand why our bodies crave it. Our bodies are made from only natural products, and when we put anything else on it or in it, our body will refuse it and make our skin look drab and dull. Using a product that our skin responds can make all the difference in the world when it comes to treating stretch marks, or scars! In order to reverse stretch marks in such a way that they will never return you must do a few things right: Use a product daily: If you only sporadically use a product, you cannot expect it to reverse stretch marks. A product needs time to work, and time to get under the skin to where the stretch mark was created. Many people think that the mark is one the skin, which is not true, a stretch mark was created UNDER the skin and needs to be treated as such. Using a product as recommended, will increase your chances to reverse stretch marks on your body, and will help you to understand why you have dark stretch marks in the first place. Use a product that is known to work: Many people do not even try to find out what a product can do before buying it. If you are going to spend money on a stretch mark product, be sure it can reverse stretch marks before you do. Look on Amazon.com for reviews as well as other online buying sites, this will let you know what other people thought about the product, and how it may or may not work for you. Everybody is different do not settle for a “one product fits all” line, it simply is not true. Non- Sensitive: If you buy a product that is full of alcohol and fillers, your skin will become dry and itchy. This is never a good thing, so be sure that the product you use to reverse stretch marks is sensitive to your skin and easy to use. Dark stretch marks are caused by many things from pregnancy to weight gain. In order to solve the issue of stretch marks, you will need to know what caused them. In order to reverse stretch marks for good, you need to stop the action that caused them. If you have been lifting weights, or losing weight at a rapid speed you may want to slow down, if you want to see a decrease in dark stretch marks. You can be proud of being important. You should be proud to walk on the beach or in a bathing suit. When you are not, you can lose self-confidence and hide from social activities. If you are experiencing any of these things, perhaps it is time to try something new. Reverse stretch marks will not only help you get rid of unwanted marks on your body, but will also help get your confidence and self-pride back, which is the most important thing to anyone! The good news is that even dark stretch marks can be helped with the right product. Looking for the best way to deal with dark stretch marks can be tough. Reverse stretch marks are a great product to start with, as it has had great results and is easy on your skin. Using

products on your marks can be a little hard to get use to if you have never done so before, but once you get in the habit of doing it, you will find that you love seeing results every day.

Bio Oil For Stretch Marks You’ve gained a lot of weight or went through hormone changes whether it be from medications, pregnancy, over-eating, genetics, or whatever the reason and you end up with the dreaded stretch marks. Losing the weight you have put on is a major accomplishment in itself, but now you have another mind blow….how to reverse stretch marks you have accumulated since then. Sure, there are many manufactured oils, creams and lotions on the market that may or may not work. So, as another resort, which can be effective but not a cure and can be costly are Bio oils to reverse stretch marks. But what is Bio oil and how effective are they in the reversal of stretch marks? Bio oil is a specialized skincare product that not only helps reverse stretch marks, but also helps improve the appearance of scars, uneven skin tones and such. Bio oil is also effective in the treatment of dehydrated skin and the ragged complexion one gets during the process of aging. Bio oil formulations were originally developed by a man named Dieter Beier; who, at the time, was the owner of Union Swiss back in 1987. Dieter Beier experimented and developed skincare products {Bio Oil} in the 70’s and 80’s which worked best as a base for skincare products, especially utilizing plant extracts and vitamins. His idea for Bio oil was to market them as a ‘skin tonic’. Unlike most creams and lotions that have a main ingredient of water, Bio oil did not. Bio oil was a multi-use product unlike the single-use products you get from lotions and creams. Bio oil had been perceived to not be skin-friendly and tended to be greasy, however, there soon came to be a loyal following for Bio oil which did many things which supposedly included the reverse of stretch marks and scars. Bio oil has many ingredients, but water is NOT the main ingredient. Bio oil has ingredients such as: Botanicals (Calendula oil, Rosemary oil, Chamomile oil, Lavender oil just to name a few). It also contains vitamins such as vitamin A and vitamin E; rather than water based, it is oil based, and just a few examples of oil bases include: Isopropyl Myristate, Bisabolol, Paraffinum Liquidum, BHT, and more. For those of you who have no clue what these are, they are supposedly natural oils unlike the manmade chemical ingredients so many lotions and creams contain. Bio oil also contains certain fragrances, mainly rose: Amyl Cinnamal, Citronellol, Courmarin, Farnesol, Eugenol, Geraniol, Linalool and more. With this combination of naturally found oils and vitamins, Bio oil makes for a good product to do many things for the skin but does that include the possibility to reverse stretch marks. There are downsides to Bio oil. Even the manufacturer say’s, and I paraphrase, ‘bio oil is not a miracle cure’. It may help diminish the intensity of the stretch marks, uneven skin tones, scars, etc. but it does not reverse stretch marks or scars or uneven skin tones. So in Lehman’s terms, it is NOT a sure fire way to get rid of such blemishes. And the reason for this is because although Bio oil will make the skin soft; it still suffers from what so many other skin agents suffer from…it DOES NOT get through to the damaged middle layer of the skin to actually ‘reverse stretch marks’. There are, however, steps you can take beforehand to stop the appearance of stretch marks. If you are going through a period of time when you are bodybuilding, pregnant, gaining or losing weight rapidly, think preventive. You need to be mindful of what could possibly happen to your skin during these times and take measures to stop it from

http://shortcutit.com/StretchMarks_issuu

happening before it is too late. Steps such as: Increasing the circulation and absorption of your skin/body; Increase the amount of collagen; and strengthen the skin. For example: by increasing the absorption of the product deep into your skin, you’re allowing your skin care products to reach even deeper into the middle layer of your skin. If you increase the circulation whether it be by massage and/or exercise, you’re giving your skin a chance to be healthier and stronger which allows nutrients to reach the depths of your skin to prevent or even reverse stretch marks. When you increase the collagen, you are making sure the stretch marks never form in the first place. And lastly is strengthening the skin. By strengthening your skin, it will obviously make it harder for damage to occur in the first place. These are just a few measures you can take in assuring the stretch marks will not happen in the first place. So don’t just depend on lotions, creams OR Bio oil. The best thing you can do is use a system that has been proven to work for reducing stretch marks, time and time again. Try the system for yourself today.

Stretch Marks Surgery It’s been over a year, you’ve tried every lotion, cream and oil on the market to try to reverse stretch marks you’ve accumulated and none have worked; what do you do now? If you are dead-set to get rid of your stretch marks because you feel uncomfortable, nonsexual, embarrassed…whatever the reason may be; there are alternatives. And while nothing is written in stone as being a sure-fire way of the reversal of stretch marks, there is always the option of surgery and other medical practices performed by a qualified doctor/surgeon. Before you just hop in the first doctor office you find to have reverse stretch marks surgery performed, there are several factors you should consider beforehand. Before anything else, have you tried a good system rather than just blindly buying lotions and creams that promise but don't deliver? If not, try ditching those lotions and use a system that really works. Next, it’s very important you educate yourself. Do a lot of research and get to the point you understand your condition. Ask yourself if there is an alternative to reverse stretch marks than just what the first doctor you talked to informed you of? What is this particular doctor offering you? Is this doctor medically trained or referred by another trusting physician? These are just a few questions and actions you should ask yourself and do before jumping on the reverse stretch mark surgery. Here are some questions you should consider before going through a treatment program: 1.)

Is the physician board certified?

2.)

Is there a board certified physician anywhere in the office?

3.)

What kind of experience does the practicing physician have?

4.)

Are there other treatments to consider before going through surgery?

5.)

What is the doctor’s medical specialty? (Family Medicine, Dermatology, etc.)

6.)

Does the doctor have any reputable references?

I will say this again, it is VERY important you educate yourself before going through any serious reverse stretch mark therapy. Another thing you need to worry about is cost. Even if you have good insurance, reverse stretch mark surgery is considered ‘cosmetic surgery’, meaning, most if not all insurance companies WILL NOT cover the expenses and it is not cheap. Even laser surgery to reverse stretch marks can cost between $200 and $700 per session and you will need at least several sessions to get rid of stretch marks. You must also consider the side effects of surgery for stretch marks. Regular surgery may leave scarring which could be more of an eyesore than the stretch marks themselves. Laser surgery is a little more successful.

http://shortcutit.com/StretchMarks_issuu

Lasers can help improve stretch marks, however, according to many doctors, there is no type of surgery that will COMPLETELY make a stretch mark go away back to looking like normal skin. If you must have surgery for stretch marks, take into consideration laser surgery. Although it won’t make your skin look completely normal again, it does have its advantages. Laser surgery can reduce red stretch marks, it can diminish white stretch marks, it can improve the texture of the skin and make the stretch marks look better; and in some cases, you can’t see them very easily, but keep in mind, it’s only a way to improve the problem; it cannot remove it. Using laser surgery for red stretch marks consists of a pulsed-dye laser. It reduces the redness in the stretch marks and also improves the inflammation that causes the stretch marks in the first place. Laser therapy also induces the collagen growth and remodeling as well as remodeling some of the elastin that will improve the look of your skin. Using laser surgery for white stretch marks is called, ‘fractional laser therapy’. Using these types of lasers helps in patients with stretch marks that are white and the texture is more of a problem than color. And let’s talk about pain. Everyone has a different tolerance for pain. Most people find laser treatment pain very tolerable. In many doctors’ opinions, there is no pain at all. Doctors say on a scale from one to ten, the amount of pain involved is about a two or three. The recovery time for laser surgery for the reverse of stretch marks is usually only a few days. And during those days, you may experience some redness and swelling of the area. Before surgery, the doctor you go to will advise you on the potential risks involved and the recovery time depending on what kind of laser surgery you choose. So, it’s very important to educate yourself and get several opinions by professionals as to the severity of your stretch marks and if surgery is even necessary. In the end, you may find they are just plain worth living with or you can get just as good, if not better results from the Reverse Stretch Marks system.

Microdermabrasion For Stretch Marks Stretch marks are a matter of concern for millions of people. It is believed that stretch marks are most common in pregnant women but then even body builders and teenagers suffer from it due to sudden spurts of growth. The basic reason for this common problem is that sometimes the body grows too fast and the skin is not able to keep up with the growth rate because it’s not healthy enough to take on that load. During these sudden growth spurts, the skin has to cover an increasingly large area and if it’s not in optimal health that could result in ruptures of the dermis. • Reasons for stretch marks – The body responds to these ruptures or tears by sending excessive amounts of collagen to the ruptured areas that helps in closing up the gap created. But after the ruptured area is healed, the collagen is not able to blend in surrounding areas very well because the collagen fibers are all aligned, instead of woven like normal skin. The marks left by it have a different color from the color of the skin that results in these stretch marks which are very distinct and visible. • Treatment of stretch marks – One commonly used treatment is microdermabrasion for stretch marks. Many people notice improvement, but it’s not hundred percent effective with doing away with the marks. It helps in reducing the marks but is probably not able to remove it completely. • Limits of microdermabrasion – The skin is made up of many layers and the stretch marks occur in the middle layer that is known as the dermis layer. Unfortunately, there’s no way a microdermabrasion treatment could ever reach that damaged layer since the top layer of skin is in the way. But Microdermabrasion for stretch marks is a better treatment than many of the others available. • Types of stretch marks – For treatments of stretch marks, there are two things to be considered that are the type of stretch marks and the age of stretch marks. The color helps to differentiate the state of the stretch marks – if it is red, brown or purple then these are new and easier to be treated. But it becomes tough and complicated to remove when these have a white color after being left untreated for a long time. Therefore you should keep it in mind that you should treat your stretch marks as soon as you notice them on your body. • Advantages of microdermabrasion – The main advantage is that it is more powerful than stretch mark creams. • Disdvantages of microdermabrasion – There are several disadvantages to microdermabrasion. If you’re getting it professionally done, cost is a big negative. Another is the pain factor no matter whether you do it yourself at home or get it done professionally. But the biggest disadvantage is that even after all that pain and money, microdermabrasion can’t completely remove stretch marks. There are several stretch marks treatments available in the market that are mostly chemical based in the form of creams and other chemicals. Sometimes these are effective but then there are chances that the chemical might react adversely with your body and most people don’t notice much benefit from these products at all. Therefore it is recommended that you use microdermabrasion for stretch marks treatment if you have the money and can stomach the pain.

A better way to get rid of your stretch marks is to use the Reverse Stretch Marks system, which goes deeper into the skin than microdermabrasion can.

Terrible Stretch Marks From Pregnancy If you’re like most women who have borne the miracle of life in their bodies, you have terrible stretch marks from pregnancy and you now know that being pregnant is anything BUT the wonderful, magical experience much of popular culture tends to make it out to be (well, except for the beautiful baby you’re given, of course). If we take the baby out of the equation, it’s an incredibly messy, exhausting, and emotional business. You get wild mood swings, you crave the strangest, most inedible things, you get morning sickness and back pains, and to top it all off, all of the stretching and hormonal shifts that your body experiences almost guarantees that you’ll get stretch marks somewhere on your body. Thus permanently making summer a season to dread, and bathing suit selection a considerable challenge. During that nine month period, a woman can get terrible stretch marks from pregnancy, especially since a woman’s belly can become distended to twice its original girth or more, and hormones that encourage lactation can cause a woman’s breasts to grow as much as two cup sizes larger. This might mean that you’ll look great in a low-cut top for a time, but it comes at a price. Once a person’s tummy and breasts revert back to their original size, the skin might not always recover completely. Stretch marks are essentially scars. When certain hormonal elements are in play, and when a person’s skin stretches past its point of elasticity, the dermis, or the layer of skin between the epidermis –the outer surface- and subcutaneous tissue –the layer of fat underneath the skin, can tear. It doesn’t hurt, and it doesn’t bleed, so if you’re the squeamish sort, you don’t have to worry. Other than the unsightly, discolored lines that can appear on areas of the body where the skin may have stretched the most, stretch marks don’t really create any other health problems, and unless you intend on walking around naked all the time, stretch marks aren’t really anything to lose sleep over. A person can get afflicted by stretch marks in a lot of different ways. Pregnancy isn’t the only reason why people get stretch marks. After all, even men can get stretch marks. Aside from terrible stretch marks from pregnancy, stretch marks can be caused by obesity, growth spurts during puberty, and even rapid muscle growth. So if you ever plan on pumping some serious iron, don’t forget to take some steps to avoid stretch marks. Eating foods that reduce stretch marks, like those high in zinc and vitamin E and C, can go a long way in preventing the dermis from tearing and causing stretch marks. Usually, stretch marks start out as reddish-purple or some other darker color, but as time goes by, they can fade to a somewhat lighter color. The marks themselves are usually slightly indented, sinking deeper than normal skin. They aren’t exactly the prettiest looking things to have on your tummy, butt or breasts when you want to show off all of the baby weight that you lost after your pregnancy. Of course, a bikini isn’t the only clothing option for all of you new summer moms out there. The same can be said about people who’ve worked out and lost weight to get smokin’ hot summer bods, or kids who’ve just gotten their growth spurts. There are a lot of ways to hide stretch marks. The most obvious way to do so is to cover them up with your clothes, but for those times when people need to show a little skin, products like self-tanners and concealers can also work in a pinch. If you’re planning on

http://shortcutit.com/StretchMarks_issuu

having a little fun in water and don’t want to bother with waterproof concealers, the matter of how to conceal stretch marks is still a relatively simple one. Tankinis and one piece bathing suits are a great way to conceal tummy stretch marks when you’re at the beach or by the pool. On the other hand, for people who have stretch marks in slightly more difficult-to-conceal areas, such as the upper arms and thighs, a colorful wrap or sarong can do wonders to cover them, as well as jazz up your beach outfit. When you’re not at the beach, hiding stretch marks is often relatively easier. If you want to wear a mini skirt but don’t want people seeing the stretch marks on your thighs, for example, you can still show off your legs by wearing opaque tights or leggings underneath your mini. If tights and leggings aren’t your thing, wearing skirts that fall at or above the knee can ensure that people won’t catch a glimpse of your stretch marks when you bend over. There are a lot of different ways to conceal them. Given all the choices and methods you could employ though, it’s important to use your judgment and to choose what suits you and the terrible stretch marks from pregnancy that now call your body their home. I suggest you check out this guide on COMPLETELY ERASING stretch marks so you don’t have to deal with concealing them (as that’s probably not satisfactory anyway).

Internal Stretch Marks Treatment Stretch marks only appear because something is weakening your skin. Most of the time this is due to hormones, stress, poor diet, lack of circulation to the skin, etc. These types of things make the skin weak and less supple and elastic. When stretched, the skin is far more susceptible to damage under these circumstances. Therefore, it only makes sense that getting in tip-top shape will help your skin too. When you’re at the peak of your health, your skin is nourished, healthy and vibrant. Not only that, but it heals faster! If you’re really serious about getting rid of your stretch marks, you should make an effort to improve your health too. It will probably speed up your results (as well as providing you with a whole host of other benefits). If health isn’t your thing right now, you shouldn’t overwhelm yourself just because you’re desperate to remove your stretch marks. Start slow, and just try to keep your progress steady. Some must-do tasks for your health and your stretch marks: • • • •

Exercise (this gets the nutrients and oxygen circulating around your body and to your skin) Drink enough water (keeps you and your skin hydrated) Eat skin-healthy foods like brightly colored fruits and vegetables, salmon or other oily fish, nuts and beans Supplement with a good quality multi-vitamin

It takes a little work to get rid of stretch marks, but you and I both know that it will be worth it in the end. Get the ultimate guide to ERASING stretch marks HERE, where both internal and external factors are taken into account and addressed so that you get permanent and complete stretch mark removal.

How To Reduce Stretch Marks There are several different ways to reduce or possibly reverse stretch marks, some work; others are less effective. From natural ways to laser surgery to surgical removal, it just depends on the severity of the stretch marks and how much you want to spend. You may want to try the traditional way of reversing stretch marks or at least make them less obvious. These include such things as: lotions, creams or even seeing a doctor and/or cosmetologist about adapting to a regular diet and exercise regime. There are many products on the market today that claim they reverse stretch marks, but watch out…many are also fraudulent and fail to produce the results you may want or expect from them. And many of these ointments are ineffective on old, well-developed stretch marks. In cases like these, a more involved treatment may be the only option to reverse stretch marks or at best make them less noticeable. When using traditional methods, it is difficult to accurately gauge just how effective these products can be. Many products claim to reduce or even reverse stretch marks, but there is little scientific data in proving these to be true. For the most part, these natural remedies like oils, creams, lotions, etc. are more effective on fresh stretch marks. But even in the case of freshly made stretch marks, the best the product can do is helping them fade just a bit. However, there are benefits in the use of natural remedies in the reversal of stretch marks or making them less obvious. They are much less expensive and less involved than cosmetic dermatology procedures; you can find the products almost anywhere i.e. stores, the internet; and their use does not require visits to a spa or clinic and the better known brands are pretty safe to use. However, there are other alternatives to diminish stretch mark scars without having to go through surgery or laser treatment. Chemical peels that people use to rid themselves of wrinkles on their face as well as doing away with age spots can also be used in treating stretch mark scars on other parts of the body. By doing this, a chemical solution is placed on a cotton pad or sponge or brush and applied to the affected area. The chemicals then literally ‘peel’ off the top layers of the damaged skin including any dead skin that, in turn, allows the growth of new skin cells. There might be a slight tingling or burning sensation during treatment, but nothing to be concerned about. But keep in mind, multiple treatments may be necessary to get the results you are looking for, and this may not be helpful to some people. Then there is the option of Microdermabrasion. This is another way of improving the appearance of the top layer of the stretch marks but does not reverse stretch marks completely. Microdermabrasion uses a very fine crystal spray that ‘blasts’ the upper layer of the skin. The dead skin cells are removed which allows new, healthy skin cells to take their place. New skin cells then produce more elastin and collagen…the two important components of healthy, younger looking skin. This is a painless procedure that takes no more than an hour to complete and there is very little recovery time. But to reap the maximum benefit of this treatment, it needs to be repeated anywhere from five to twelve times depending on the area and condition of the skin to begin with. But keep in mind; although Microdermabrasion is an effective way of making the appearance of the area look

http://shortcutit.com/StretchMarks_issuu

better, it does not reverse stretch marks completely. The only thing that can do that is the Reverse Stretch Marks system. Finally, you can always resort to blue light therapy. Blue light therapy is used more for mild to severe acne, but is also sometimes used to improve the appearance of stretch marks. With blue light therapy, it allows the application of photosensitive get to the skin, which then is exposed to bursts of light energy. Many patients notice a difference, but again, for the complete reverse of stretch marks, it is just unrealistic. Your best bet would be to contact a Cosmetic Dermatologist about the different kinds of treatments and what would work best for you depending on the condition of your stretch marks.

This can be a hard thing to get used to if you are not educated on how to reverse stretch marks or know why you got them. Stretch marks during pregnancy and breastfeeding are due to changes in your breasts, when you become pregnant your breasts will get larger, and when you complete breastfeeding your breasts will get smaller. The changes in your breasts will cause the skin to loosen or tighten, accordingly. Many newly pregnant women think that putting oil on your breasts, or lotion will decrease your chances of stretch marks, this does not work. These marks are created on your outer layer of skin, but the inner layer. If you are looking for a sure way to reverse stretch marks, there are many excellent products that are said to work wonders when it comes to stretch marks on your breasts.

The skin on your breasts is extremely sensitive and can become irritated with such procedures as microdurm abrasion and laser treatments. Many weight lifters and fitness buffs also see stretch marks on their breasts due to the intense pressure on the sensitive skin. If you are looking for reverse stretch marks on your breasts, your best bet is to stick with a more natural treatment. Age: We all know it is evitable that our skins will sagg, and our breasts will become lower with age. This kind of ageing may also bring stretch marks on your breasts.

Mederma For Stretch Marks Review There are so many products to choose from when you are looking for reverse stretch marks. Some of these products are a simple cream (coco butter) while others are a little more intense, Mederma stretch mark cream. If you are looking for a product that will not cost a fortune, and will work on your “newer” stretch marks you may want to think about a Mederma stretch mark cream. In order to see if Mederma stretch mark cream worked, we looked all over the internet for people who saw a real difference. Mederma stretch mark cream is a topical ointment for your problem areas, it can be used anywhere on your body and has one of the highest sales numbers in the stretch mark cream business. Mederma also makes a scar reduction product that is said to work well, and this is why people trust the name. Looking on Amazon, Mederma stretch mark cream has 70 reviews. Some of which claim Mederma can reverse stretch marks, and others saying it does not work at all. You will get many reviews on Amazon which said that there have been several locations on the internet where Mederma has NOT worked on African American skin types, so we will only be looking at the way Mederma works on light skin. In order to say a product can reverse stretch marks, it has to have some results, to support it. One review on Amazon.com says about stretch marks, which are 14 months old, and had already faded to white and the skin tone is fair but tans easily. This is a great review for any stretch mark product. The only way to really know if a product is going to reverse stretch marks is to give it a try yourself. If you have quite old marks, and are looking to see drastic changes, you may have to look into laser treatment or another method. Although there is one common thing that everyone has to say about the Mederma cream, and that is IT SMELLS! This product really does smell like a cheap perfume, or an old rose bouquet. If this does not bother you, perhaps you may try for yourself. Another thing that is said about Mederma is that alcohol and the glycerin contained in the product dry out your skin, and can cause you to become quite itchy, when you first start this product. Mederma also states that this product is made to reverse stretch marks, which are recent. Although, it does look like there are happy customers who have seen an improvement in older stretch marks as well. In reality it would be quite hard to know just what Mederma will do for your stretch marks without trying yourself, but there could be a better solution all together! If you try reverse stretch marks, you will know why Mederma has such mixed reviews. It is common that, mixed reviews for any products make a bad impression on people’s mind. Reverse stretch marks helps more often than Mederma does and can be found at a lower cost to you. This product will not dry out your skin, or give off a highly perfumed smell; and all of these will be difficult to find in a stretch mark cream. Reverse stretch marks will also help with any skin color or type, not only light skin. This is a welcome change for those who have looking for a product.

http://shortcutit.com/StretchMarks_issuu

The non-drying effects of reverse stretch marks are also a welcome change to those people who have sensitive skin, or already dry skin. As all bodies are made in a different way so is skin care products, knowing which kind will suit your skin type or your needs better is the best part about taking care of your skin. Always do a little research on a product, before you buy it, no matter what the cost is. If you are looking to get clear, smooth skin, where there once were stretch marks, you are free to try whichever product you think will suit. But if you want to save time and the money, perhaps you should choose reverse stretch marks first, and have clearer skin much sooner than you ever thought that you could!

Ways To Remove Stretch Marks A lot of people consider stretch marks a big hassle; especially when you want to show some skin. And hey, showing off some skin every now and again is fun, right? While women who have become pregnant are often the most common -and vocal- victims of stretch marks, people from anywhere and from all walks of life can get them. This is why I’m dedicated to helping you find ways to remove stretch marks. For the more health and nature-conscious among you, there are preventative measures like having a balanced diet, keeping hormones balanced and always keeping your skin hydrated. Stretch marks are the unsightly lines that often form on an area of the skin that has stretched considerably. For example, a woman who has gotten pregnant is very likely to get stretch marks on her breasts and belly, because these parts of the body will swell to accommodate the baby and the nourishment that the baby needs. I got them on my booty even though that didn’t grow much during my pregnancies, though, and that was because of the pregnancy hormones weakening my skin. A kid going through puberty could get stretch marks just about anywhere – especially if they’d grown considerably during their growth spurt. Someone who has lost and gained a lot of weight can also get stretch marks, and it can be a big damper on the season if you end up having to cover up the bikini body you’d worked so hard to get for the summer just because you got a few stretch marks. Whether their claims are real or not, there are a lot of products and ways to naturally remove stretch marks available both on- and offline. One thing we have to consider though; is that stretch marks are essentially scars. When a person’s body grows or stretches out, sometimes, the dermis, or the middle layer of a person’s skin, cannot take the strain and will tear. When that happens, stretch marks occur. Usually, when this happens, it doesn’t hurt, but the surface of the stretch marks themselves will often feel somewhat “empty” to the touch, leaving a little valley in your skin. These valleys will be very noticeable in certain lighting conditions, where the shadows can catch them. They’ll usually also be a bright red or purplish color at first that may fade a little over time. Unless certain steps are taken, they don’t usually disappear completely. While there are a couple of surefire ways to get rid of stretch marks; surgery, for example, there are cheaper, safer ways to remove stretch marks like the methods discussed here. If you want to work that cute bikini again, forget about doing things that don’t work like rubbing cocoa butter on the affected area. Even though cocoa butter contains moisturizing agents that moisturize the skin, the molecules of cocoa butter are not nearly small enough to penetrate the skin. Most of cocoa butter’s great healing properties are wasted by rubbing them on the skin! If you really want your skin to look a hundred per cent flawless, but don’t have the resources or the desire to go under the knife or the laser, you can also try to apply self-tanning lotion or concealer over the stretch marks. Doing this evens out the skin tone of the affected area, making it appear completely smooth. Of course, one thing to be careful about is the possibility of whatever you apply to cover up your stretch marks staining your clothing or rubbing off. You also might want a pro to help you match the color up perfectly to your

http://shortcutit.com/StretchMarks_issuu

skin. This doesn’t address the little valleys or sunken in areas that stretch marks give, but in the right lighting it will pass. All that covering up and application of topical lotions or stretch mark creams can be a bit bothersome though if you want to expose the body part that has stretch marks more than once in a while, so one way to make sure that you won’t have to worry about your stretch marks is to work on not getting any at all in the first place. One of the best ways to remove stretch marks is to not get stretch marks at all – easier said than done, I know. You can do this by making sure that your skin retains its elasticity by drinking sufficient amounts of water and maintaining a VERY good and balanced diet during times where you know you’re at higher risk for developing stretch marks. If you’re worried about how to lose stretch marks once you get them later in life, you can always use these ways to remove stretch marks. That package also contains a bonus which details PRECISELY what product you need to prevent stretch marks and why. As far as I know it’s the only thing that actually works short of surgery.

Steps To Remove Stretch Marks During puberty I developed a bit of striae on my hips. I barely even noticed them because they were so light, but if you looked close enough you could tell they were there. This didn’t bother me at all because they were so faint, so I didn’t really care about learning how to remove stretch marks. Nobody noticed them because they were so inconspicuous and I rarely gave them a second thought. During my first pregnancy, however, I felt completely the opposite. I was fortunate enough in that my belly was spared of stretch marks, but unlucky because the stretch marks ended up all over my butt and hips, and also 2 minor ones on one of my breasts! It looked terrible, staying red for months and months after they formed, and then turning that ugly shiny whitish color that catches the light. There were caused my skin to sink in, leaving what looked like little stringy dents to make them even more obvious. From my research it seems that the stretch marks formed there because this is where more of my fat was stored. It has something to do with the hormones from pregnancy (and puberty) weakening the skin and more estrogen is present in the fatty areas of the body. Needless to say, I wasn’t going to put up with having a zebra butt. I wanted to feel sexy again, so I tried a ton of stretch mark remedies. You name it, I tried it. I was desperate because I like looking sexy, and needless to say, stretch marks are not sexy. It took quite a while, but I finally found something that worked for me. Here’s how to remove stretch marks, in a nutshell: 1. Make skin penetrable 2. Break apart scar tissue (that’s the whitish/silvery color you’re seeing - scar tissue) 3. Heal the skin 4. Regenerate the skin to fill in “dents” Most people have no idea that this is what’s required. They think it’s simply a matter of moisturizing but moisturizing WILL NOT get rid of stretch marks. If moisturizing were enough, no one would have stretch marks anymore because everyone would just moisturize being that it’s an extremely simple step to take. When you use things like cocoa butter or tummy butter/honey/whatever, pretty much all you’re doing is moisturizing. It’s almost useless for preventing and healing stretch marks, but go for it if all you care about is softer skin. If avoiding and completely wiping your body free of stretch marks is your goal, you can try the Reverse Stretch Marks multi-step system. It’s more complicated and time consuming than using cocoa butter, but it also works significantly better, too.

Stretch Marks Cures If you’ve ever gotten pregnant, gained or lost a lot of weight, gained or lost a lot of muscle, or even undergone the normal process of puberty, you’re probably no stranger to stretch marks. These are the discolored lines that can often be found in areas of a person’s skin where a lot of stretching or growing has occurred. Usually, they’re softer to the touch than the normal skin around them, but they certainly aren’t prettier to look at. This is why a lot of people spend a lot of time and money looking for and developing ways to cure stretch marks. This can be a tough thing to do, especially since stretch marks are actually tears in the second layer of your skin, called the dermis, and can’t always be remedied with a few applications of some sort of miracle cream. In fact, many remedies simply address the problem of how to fade stretch marks, and aren’t stretch mark cures in and of themselves. One of the most drastic –but effective ways to get rid of stretch marks is to do so surgically. If you’ve just had a baby, for example, and you have stretch marks all over the area underneath your navel, a tummy tuck, where the excess skin in that area is removed completely. Of course, one thing to consider about tummy tucks is that even though you might get a slightly firmer middle and your stretch marks there might be completely gone, it’s likely that you’ll still end up with some unsightly scarring. After all, even though a tummy tuck is a relatively simple surgical procedure, it’s still surgery. One other effective way to cure stretch marks is through laser treatments, the most common kind of laser treatment is one where a pulsed dye laser combined with radiofrequency is used. One problem with the pulsed dye laser, though, is that it can possibly leave darker skinned individuals slightly darker, especially in the area where the treatments have been administered. Another one is called fractional laser resurfacing, which uses light pulses to create microscopic wounds on the area where the stretch marks are. These tiny wounds make the body respond by producing new collagen and skin tissue; essentially causing a person’s body to make “new skin” and repair the dermal tearing that created the stretch marks in the first place. While this treatment doesn’t need any recovery period or “downtime,” because it’s so time-consuming and exact, it’s best to get yourself zapped over a number of treatments. Of course, these kinds of dermatological procedures can cost a pretty penny, and even if they’re relatively safe, tummy tucks still involve people cutting you open, and laser treatments, well… they zap you with lasers. Anyone who has had a passing familiarity with science fiction will probably have an easy time imagining those laser beams vaporizing them. Also, laser treatments usually need to be administered several times before definitive results actually show up, and who wants to bother with all the time and travel and hassle of all that? Alternatives to expensive and time-consuming dermatological treatments can be far simpler, and far cheaper, but they won’t always be as effective. Topical creams specially formulated to remove stretch marks, for example, don’t always deliver on their promises. Sometimes, the best a person can hope for with topical treatments is to have the stretch marks fade. Often, stretch mark creams have to work with a person’s

http://shortcutit.com/StretchMarks_issuu

individual body chemistry, and not everybody has the internal chemistry to have their stretch mark cures work for them. One thing to remember is that if you want to find out how to fade stretch marks using your stretch mark cream, you will have to apply it regularly and consistently. This makes sure that even if your cream doesn’t entirely agree with your body, the active ingredients in it will still do their job and lighten your stretch marks, even by just a little bit. Even if these kinds of products are a little bit cheaper than the dermatological procedures mentioned earlier though, they still do cost money, and if you’re that short on cash, or simply don’t want to spend, it’s still possible to try and fade your stretch marks. After all, not everyone has gobs of money to spare, and a little creativity can go a long way. If you have some extra vitamin gels or capsules, some olive oil, and a bit of time, all you need to do is mix together half a cup of olive oil, four vitamin A capsules, and six vitamin E capsules. This handy little mixture not only moisturizes and nourishes the skin, helping it repair itself more effectively, but it’s really easy and cheap to make, and all you need to do if you have a little extra, is store it in the fridge. If you’re worried about how to fade stretch marks and how to cure stretch marks, don’t worry’ there are a lot of stretch mark cures out there. All you need to do is go out and find the one that works for you. You can try my formula for curing stretch marks if you want a tested plan.

Getting Rid Of Stretch Marks One of my closest friends has recently become a first time mom and yes, she got those dreaded “badges of honor” and wanted to learn how to get rid of stretch marks. Naturally, she came to me because I’d already been through that hell and I figured out the process of getting rid of stretch marks naturally. Throughout her pregnancy, she was absolutely aglow. This was thanks, in part, to the hormones that her body was releasing so that she could safely carry and successfully nourish the baby. She was also incredibly happy about having a baby, and she was very careful to stay as healthy as possible throughout all of those nine months. Of course, over the course of her pregnancy, her hormone levels didn’t just give her skin a pink glow; it also caused her body to expand. All of this… growth had a few side-effects though. For one thing, because of her fluctuating hormones, she was far more susceptible to stretch marks on her breasts and belly. I myself got striae all over my butt and on a very small part of my boobs. After she gave birth and lost most of her baby weight, the stretch marks stayed. This is exactly the same thing that happened to me. And just like me, she was totally unhappy with having almost the same body as pre-baby, but way uglier skin this time around. So she contacted me for help concocting a home remedy to lose stretch marks being that I’m a huge fan of remedies and have already figured out that using these steps will help with getting rid of stretch marks. Of course, one question that may be on a lot of people’s minds is, “can stretch marks go away in the first place?” The answer is, yes. Despite that though, there is still no single hard and fast answer readily available to the question of how to lose stretch marks. Instead, there’s a lot of bad advice, like use cocoa butter or aloe on your skin. It took me months of experimenting with unconventional methods to actually see results. A lot of people sniff around and do research to see what works best for them and I take it one step further by experimenting, testing my results, and tweaking routines and remedies where neccessary. Now, I know they have procedures –such as laser treatments and dermabrasion- that have also been known to be quite effective. The problem is that i wasn’t terribly impressed with the results and didn’t want to shell out that kind of money. For people who have stretch marks along their abdomens, tummy tucks are also a great way to hide those stretch marks. The problem with tummy tucks, though, is that since the skin under your belly button (where stretch marks along the abdomen most frequently occur) is removed, even though you probably won’t have any stretch marks anymore, you’ll probably still get some scarring. Plus this wasn’t really going to help me since there’s no way to just cut the skin off of my butt. People who don’t want to undergo steps as drastic as laser treatment or tummy tucks, first try applying creams and home-made remedies to stretch marks, thinking it’s a great way to alleviate the problem.

I would suggest you skip all those expensive creams and most home remedies because: • • • •

the active, working ingredients are usually “watered down” they’re overpriced you can make your own treatments that are much more effective (I’ll teach you how in just a second) they usually contain harmful chemicals

DO NOT depend on them because chances are your skin won’t let them penetrate to the damaged layer anyway. Instead, you need to focus on breaking down scar tissue and regenerating the skin quickly while getting collagen fibers to form correctly (it’s important to avoid having them form incorrectly as that’s what causes the appearance of stretch marks to be shiny and sunken in the first place) as detailed in the Reverse Stretch Marks system. But, back to the lesson… I need to teach you about how healthy natural foods help prevent a variety of scars… There is a reason why parents always tell you to eat your vegetables: they’re good for you! And to emphasize that point, did you know that eating lots of green, leafy vegetables, liver, dairy products, and other foods rich in zinc, iron, fiber, and other vitamins and minerals can help you get your stretch marks to fade? This is the single most natural way to help reduce stretch marks, and it’s more effective than most of the lotions on the market designed to do the same thing. Another great, stretch mark-removing item to add to your diet would be nuts, such as Brazil nuts, pecans, and pumpkin seeds. The zinc in these tasty, high fiber and high energy treats help promote correct healing (as I mentioned earlier, incorrect healing causes collagen to bunch up and give that scar appearance) and prevent infection. Since stretch marks are essentially torn skin tissue (sometimes, when a part of a person’s body over-stretches, the middle layer of skin, or the dermis, can tear, which is how stretch marks happen), this means that zinc is essential to making sure that that tissue heals. The stretch mark remedy that my friend liked the most though, takes a little more effort to make than simply reaching into the cupboard and smearing it onto the tummy and breasts. What we did was, we took out six vitamin E capsules and four vitamin A capsules, half a cup of olive oil, and one forth cup of Aloe Vera gel, and we combined it all in a blender. My friend placed some of it on her stretch marks and stored the rest in the fridge. She still applies this homemade mixture twice a day, and her stretch marks are becoming less and less red each day. She is aware, however, that even though the redness is disappearing and the appearance is improving, that this kind of treatment isn’t enough for getting rid of stretch marks to the point that they are undeniably invisible. So, once this mixture we concocted runs out, she’s starting these steps to completely remove her stretch marks so that they are not visible at all.
