How do men feel about stretch marks on a woman?

I'm not a man and I cannot allow myself to generalize or speak on the behalf of all men. I think that it depends on individual taste and or the severity of stretch marks. Neither a man nor a woman should be considered superficial for not liking stretch marks, although there certainly are people who feel that there is no true value to a woman other than her outer appearance, but that's another case altogether. Unless someone has a fetish for stretch marks I don't believe that anyone finds them appealing. I have yet to meet a person who does.

Where can you buy stretch mark removal cream?

Stretchmarks are formed in deep tissue, past the outer epidermal layer. For an effective stretchmark removal product, it has to permeate the outer layers and work on the inner dermal layer, to activate collagen synthesis and elastin.

Most stretchmarks creams only work on the outer layer, making it appear smoother, and less seen. After stopping use for 1-2 weeks, they will look almost exactly the same as before.

The best products for this, apart from dermabrasion, laser, etc are those that use essential oils. This is because essential oils are researched to pass through into inner layers of skin and give good results for it.

Here is one that helped me - samples also available, so you dont need to buy a lot

How do you get rid of scorch marks on oak talbes?

Use a hair dryer and the mark disapears before your eyes! it really works! I was amazed!

:) :) :) :)

or

The first thing I did was wash the table top and dry it well.

I took a clean, white cotton towel that wasn't too thick and placed it over the scorch marks.

Taking an old iron set to high dry heat, I placed it on top of the towel, directly over the stain. I let it sit for close to a minute, checked, and nothing happened. The stain was still there.

I kept reapplying the hot iron with no results, but once I turned the steam on-that's when the magic happened. The white marks literally disappeared from the table. I couldn't believe it and it defied logic to me-wouldn't the steam cause more damage? All I know is that it worked. I was quick to wipe away any moisture and water on the table after each stain was removed.

Does Captiva Stretch Mark Cream Work?

Captiva is new stretch mark cream in the market

But within 15 days of use users could experience improvement in their stretch marks

( From eBay and forum posts)

Captiva contains a proprietary blend of peptides, compounds that enhance the skin's ability to "fill in" damaged areas by stimulating cell production.

Stretch marks occur due to tearing of the middle layer of the skin called dermis layer due to rapid stretching of the skin during rapid weight gain, pregnancy, puberty

Captiva formula changes the composition of skin deep in the dermal level… where new skin cells are made. The peptides in the cream encourage cell production to heal the stretch marks.

These new cells heal stretch marks and slowly they start disappearing. Within 2 weeks of use results would be visible.

But if stretch marks are very old say 10 years, they will not disappear completely, but they will start fading away in 20 days. In this case you will have to use captiva for 3-5 months.

Stretch marks occur when?

A stretch mark is a type of scar that develops when our skin stretches or shrinks quickly. Stretch marks are tears in the integumentary layer that contains fibrous connective tissue, elastin and collagen.

The abrupt change causes the collagen and elastin, which supports our skin to rupture. These grooves or lines in your skin aren’t harmful to your health, but they aren’t great to look at. As the skin heals stretch marks may appear.

And even though they’ll never really go away, they might fade over time with the help of certain products and procedures. Stretch marks appear in Arms, Breasts, thighs, hips, buttocks, shoulders and stomach.

CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS OF STRETCH MARKS

New stretch marks may feel slightly raised and itchy. These rippled, streaky lines in your skin come in different colors. They fade from red or pink to purplish-blue to thinner, pale, more scar-like streaks over time. You may not notice them as much.

  • Not everyone develops these narrow bands on their skin. Fluctuating hormone levels seems to be one of the causes.
  • If people in your family get stretch marks then you are at a higher risk of getting it.
  • Stretch marks happen when your body grows quickly for any reason. Your skin can’t stretch enough to keep up. Collagen is a protein that makes your skin more elastic. If your skin doesn’t have enough, the marks may show up as it stretches.
  • Quick weight gain(this affects both men and women)
  • Childhood growth spurts during puberty. Make sure kids know this is normal and that childhood marks may fade as they get older.
  • Pregnancy as a result of stretched skin and a surge in hormones that weakens skin fibers. They might fade as you shed pounds after the baby is born.
  • Bodybuilding
  • Breast implant surgery
  • Intake of higher amounts of steriods from steroid medication or illness like cushing syndromes.
  • Marfan syndrome, a genetic disease that weakens your skin fibers and causes unusual growth
  • Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a group of conditions that result from genetic changes to collagen, a protein in your body.
