Why do people have to take proper care of their skin?
If you do not take care of your skin, regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, it will become dry, inelastic, and have more stretch marks. If you have not moisturized your skin the best over several years, or maybe even months, you may observed that more stretch marks are appearing. Not to worry, I will teach you how to eliminate those stretch marks. Restoring your skin back to health is not a difficult task, but it will take patience and persistance on your part. Before we tackle the topic of how to eliminate stretch marks, it is equally as important to define what stretch marks are and where they come from. What Are Stretch Marks and Where Do Stretch Marks Come From? Stretch marks or striae, are a form of scarring on the skin with a silvery white hue. Stretch marks can appear anywhere on the body, along the side of your stomach, the bottom of your belly, the upper portion of your chest, the center of your thighs, and circumference of your posterior. Generally, stretch marks appear in places where larger amounts of fat are stored. Although, stretch marks are associated with people who tend to be overeaters and obese, stretch marks can be the result of a variety of things. Pregnancy, bodybuilding, weight loss, puberty, and intense physical activity can lead to stretch marks. Stretch marks actually develop when an increased level of circulating glucocorticoids enter the bloodstream. This hormone, which is secreted by the adrenal glands, becomes elevated during pregnancy, intense exercise, and puberty, causing stretch marks to appear. But, you can go through all these life events, and even stretch your skin without getting stretch marks. How? Well, it

Why do 2 year old stretch marks itch?
Stretch marks result from skin stretching out a lot over a short period of time. All three layers of skin, including the epidermis and dermis, stretch. The dermis layer is below the epidermis, which is the topmost layer of skin. The dermis is far less elastic than the epidermis, and when skin is stretched too far, the dermis tears. Stretch marks are actually tears in the dermis layer. When the dermis tears, nerves can also be harmed. After the dermis tears, the body will begin to heal it. This healing can take several years. As the skin heals, the damaged nerves are stimulated. When these nerves are stimulated, they cause an itchy sensation. Because healing can take such a long time, the itchiness that accompanies mending nerves can also last long after the stretch marks were formed. Other factors can also stimulate these healing nerves, such as exercise that stretches and pulls at the skin and dryness. When your skin dries out, the skin over stretch marks might become itchy. While topical treatments such as moisturizing lotions can help, keeping your whole body hydrated is the most effective way to ensure your skin stays dry. In general, people need about eight glasses of water, but much of the water a person needs is consumed through food and other beverages, which also counts into that essential total.

What is the underlying cause or causes of stretch marks?
CausesWhen the skin is stretched, such as during weight gain or during pregnancy, the stretching breaks or permanently damages the underlying skin fibers and skin cells. This has nothing to do with dry or dead skin-- it is simply that stretching, even of supple (soft, pliable) skin makes it weaker.As a comparison, if I took a rubber band (called "gum band" in some regions) and looked at its surface in a non-stretched state, the surface would appear soft and smooth. However, if I stretched the rubber band between two points, pulling it further and further apart, the surface would begin to appear a bit rough and thinner. Some sections of the rubber band would still seem "normal" but the imperfections would be worse at places where the band was the weakest. If examined with a strong light, you might even see "through" the band easier than in other places on the band.The lower abdomen, the female breasts, our buttocks (butt)/the anus, our thighs, and our arms -- these areas in particular -- have layers of muscle and fat beneath the skin. As the skin is stretched, these layers also s-t-r-e-t-c-h, with some places being weaker than in other places. As more stretching force or forces of body weight "pull" on the connective tissue beneath the skin and between the muscle-fat-skin layers, those weakest places become thinner and thinner until the skin becomes almost see-through (translucent). It may become so thin in places that we can see a bluish tint under the skin-- the blue tint shows wherever surface capillaries are close to the outer skin and where the tissue has become so stretched that we see the blood within the capillaries.Despite what some people think, dry skin does not cause or make stretch marks, nor does dry skin make it worse. Conversely, hydrated skin--from the inside out--is more pliable. But even hydrated skin can develop stretch marks because it is the underlying connective tissue that is damaged in stretch marks. In fact, the actual stretch mark usually feels silky and softer than undamaged skin-- again, because the skin's underlying strength has been "broken" by the forces stretching it.If stretch marks were caused only by dry skin, as some people believe, that would mean every pregnant female or overweight person could prevent stretch marks simply by drinking more fluids and by liberally lathering their bodies with oily moisturizing lotions or creams. if true, that would also mean that drinking more fluids or lathering the body with lotions would reverse stretch marks, or "cure" them and make them "heal" and go away. But neither of these remedies prevent or cure stretch marks. But companies who manufacture "stretch mark creams" have made a fortune on such products simply because stretch marks are considered unsightly flaws. But stretch marks are very common, from the young to elderly, as the body undergoes forces from gravity, aging, child-bearing, and weight gain. Very few humans can honestly say they don't have even one stretch mark--somewhere, even if only around the anus/buttocks.PreventionSince forces and weight gain can contribute to the development of stretch marks, prevention must center on the aspects involved in gravity, aging, child-bearing, and weight gain that we can control. We can't stop gravity or aging. Reproduction is for many people a human drive and need, so while we can control reproducing, we can't fully stop the "stretching" forces involved in pregnancy. Of these 4 forces, the only one we can fully control is weight gain.Women intending to become pregnant or who are in the first trimester can do exercises to keep the lower abdominal muscles strong and reduce the effect of stretching forces on underlying tissues. Fat has less support for muscles and skin, so a lean muscular body will be less prone to stretch marks than a fatty pre-pregnant body.Fluids and lotionsFluids can keep the skin more supple and healthy, as it does for all of the body. But even well-hydrated persons can get stretch marks.If lotions help the tingling or itchiness that is common to having stretched skin, they can do no harm. But women, especially, should understand that no lotion can penetrate the skin to heal or cure weak or broken areas of connective tissue. Once a stretch mark has appeared, you'll likely have it for life.
How to Care For Your Skin During Pregnancy?
Pregnancy is a hectic time for our bodies, as so much is happening and so much is changing. Skin care might not be at the top of your list of importance, but it should be. If you want to minimize stretch marks and avoid acne, dry skin or itchy skin, then you will need to follow a careful skin-care regimen. Some women are blessed with that ‘pregnancy glow’ that everyone talks about, but some women aren’t. So here’s how to make sure you get that glow! -Step 1: Stretch marks Stretch marks, for the most part, will be unavoidable. The skin over your stomach will be stretched as your baby grows, and stretched skin means stretch marks, but you can minimize them and help them disappear quickly after birth. There are many creams and oils you can buy on the market that promise to reduce stretch marks, but simple olive oil will do the same thing. So, buy yourself some cream with cocoa butter or vitamin E, rub in some olive oil at night and it should help keep the skin elastic and reduce those nasty stretch marks. -Step 2: Acne Pregnant women often suffer from acne, which can be both distressing and embarrassing. Usually, the problem will resolve after the first trimester, so use a simple cleanser with something like Witch Hazel, avoid harsh exfoliating and try oats and honey instead. Cleanse, then use a face wash and moisturize using a moisturizer with added SPF to reduce the damage from the sun. -Step 3: Yellow or dark patches Some women suffer from something called Chloasma, which simply means the skin has patches of more pigment than other parts, causing dark patches to appear, especially around the eyes. Avoid direct sunlight, as this will make it worse. Mostly the chloasma should disappear after birth, although it never fully goes away in some women. -Step 4: Dry Skin You may notice that your skin is dryer than normal and itchy too, so moisturize daily. Make sure to spread it all over your body and avoid anything you might be sensitive to. If your skin continues to be itchy or gets worse, speak to your doctor, as other pregnancy problems can be related to dry skin. With a few minutes spent every day on skin care, there is no reason why you too can’t have the pregnancy glow, and look and feel great with it.
