Stretch marks are a skin problem that people have to face at a certain point in their lives. They are usually removed because they are not comfortable and because they affect people’s look. But there are two different types of stretch marks: red or pink, which have recently appeared, and white ones, which are old marks. No matter the color, you must nor despair, as there is always a cure!
First of all, you need to take care of your skin properly and follow these 5 steps, in order to prepare your skin for treatment.
1. Exfoliation
Remove all those dead cells on the surface of your skin and allow it to absorb faster all the nutrients it needs. Pay attention and exfoliate your skin gently, without causing damage.
2. Hydration
Hydrate your skin by drinking at least 2l of water every day. In this way, you will restore the skin elasticity and help it heal faster after the treatments needed. In addition, a hydrated skin is helpful for other problems or diseases.
3. Protection
Protect your skin from the UV rays by applying a sunscreen every time you go out. Sun can also affect the stretch marks as they don’t get darker, highlighting this imperfection.
4. Moisture
Moisture is the way to always have an elastic, soft, supple and strong skin. So do not hesitate to regularly apply a moisturizing cream or lotion.
5. Healthy lifestyle
A combination between healthy food and physical exercises should be the perfect solution for a natural and toned skin. In addition your body will be grateful for all the minerals and vitamins you provide.
