What are stretch marks?
Stretch marks are tears in the connective tissue that may occur under your skin when it expands, leaving marks. Can you prevent stretch marks? Yes, by eating the right foods and by conditioning your skin with exercise and Mother’s Special Blend Skin Toning Oil. The best way to prevent pregnancy stretch marks is to use a natural product called Mother’s Special Blend. It is all natural and contains no chemicals. Most creams and oils claim to be natural and have natural ingredients, but also contain unsafe chemicals that can penetrate and reach through the wall of the placenta.
Stretch marks, or striae disease, are irregular furrowed bands or stripes caused by a rapid stretching of skin from dramatic weight gain associated with pregnancy, adolescent growth, or body building. Physicians believe that the excessive stretching of skin breaks down the collagen and elastin fibers that provide suppleness and resiliency. The result is a dermal tear that turns into a scar. Over time, stretch marks can have a bleached scar-like appearance and may have a different texture from surrounding skin. Not everyone gets stretch marks some people are predisposed due to their genetic makeup and the amount of elastin in their skin.
