How to eliminate stretch marks with ivy
Why do stretch marks occur?
Stretch marks resemble scars: at first, they take on a reddish color and then become more white. Stretch marks are caused by excessive stretching of the skin, followed by a loss of elasticity. The phenomena that lead to the creation of stretch marks are varied; they often involve pregnancy or sudden weight changes. The areas where stretch marks are most likely to appear are the breasts, abdomen, and buttocks.
How can we therefore prevent the formation of stretch marks or minimize their imperfections as much as possible?
The general rule is to keep the skin perfectly hydrated through the daily application of creams and other moisturizing solutions. Hydration of the skin that covers the body is, in fact, just like with the skin of the face, an excellent deterrent against the appearance of fine lines and other skin imperfections.
