How Stretch Marks Occur Not Only During Pregnancy

Stretch marks can affect all of us. Many people assume the cause of stretch marks (also known as striae) is pregnancy, and so only pregnant women and mothers are affected. This simply isn't true.

Body builders often suffer from striae, and the majority of these body builders are men. People who gain a great deal of weight are also susceptible to stretch marks.

Teens are often afflicted with striae during the "growth spurts" of puberty. In short, anytime skin is stretched quickly or dramatically, striae are apt to appear.

Not only can striae affect both men and women, but they can affect children, teens, and adults. They affect people of every race and ethnicity, as well. What are striae, and why do they occur?

Skin is a remarkable organ. It's the largest organ in the entire body, and one of the most complex. Skin protects our internal organs, helps us eliminate wastes, and processes external elements, such as sunshine, for our benefit.

One of skin's most remarkable abilities is its ability to stretch.

Elastin and collagen are two of the building blocks of skin. Collagen and elastin are both proteins, in the form of elastic fibers. Collagen is a binding agent in skin. It's the building block of connective tissue. Elastin provides skin with, you guessed it, its elasticity.

And the skin is phenomenally elastic. However, at certain times, skin is over-stressed, stretched beyond its ability to give. At these times, the skin actually tears. These little tears and tiny rips heal, resulting in scar tissue. The scar tissue that accompanies these small rips in the skin are known as stretch marks.

How Stretch Marks Can Be Prevented or Repaired
A popular home remedy for stretch marks is cocoa butter. There's a grand tradition of husbands rubbing their pregnant wives' bellies with cocoa butter, every night before bed. Certainly moisturizing helps to improve the skin's elasticity, and the ritual of the nightly cocoa butter rub is purportedly very pleasant. However, it's effectiveness in preventing stretch marks is rather limited.

People who are intent on preventing striae should look for a product that helps the body create the very elements that are being taxed: collagen, and elastin. Pregnant women, body builders, or growing teenagers can rub in BIOSKINCARE™ CREAM, a natural cream that triggers and speeds the regeneration of collagen, elastin and the water holding proteins that help prevent tearing, and subsequent scarring.

BIOSKINCARE™ CREAM utilizes biological activators of your bodies own regenerative processes to prevent and eliminate stretch marks. It triggers and regulates an orderly production of collagen, elastin and GAGs and the replacement of damaged skin with new skin cells.

Promotes cell regeneration, which improves the scars' appearance. And thickens the epidermal layer, creating a smoother top layer of skin. This further improves the look of striae, even striae that are quite old.

With regular use (twice a day for a period of time depending on how old and deep the blemishes are) the cream exfoliates damaged cells, gently dissolves skin lesions, reduces and even eliminates all signs of stretch marks. It also destroys pathogens and creates an environment that triggers the regeneration of normal collagen, improves elasticity, increases density and moisture retention capacity and skin firmness.

Use this gift of nature for a healthy skin and repair yours naturally. Made with a natural substance gathered from a little creature that nature has endowed with the ability to repair his skin quickly when damaged.

Body Cream for Scars and Stretch Marks - not for use on the face - 4 oz.

Recommended for the treatment of stretch marks, scars, and back and chest acne. It is not recommended for facial application because it contains a higher content of our biological active ingredient, Helix Aspersa Muller Glycoconjugates than do BIOSKINCARE. This difference results in a thicker cream that leaves behind a thin protective film on the applied area. This thicker consistency is beneficial for occluding the area and keeping in moisture for a longer period of time, making the cream more effective in dissolving scars. However, its one disadvantage is that it is incompatible with make-up and may leave a thin milky looking film on your face that will quickly flake-off creating an unappealing effect.
