Rapid weight loss is a common cause of stretch marks
Why do I get stretch marks?
Why do I get stretch marks? The very word ‘stretch’ is a response to the question of where they come from. Stretch marks occur due to mechanical damage when it is over-stretched. Organism “darning” These gaps connective tissue – just like the scars. And please, here’s the ugly strip-stretching. At first, the young connective tissue is permeated by blood capillaries, so that stretch marks are deep pink and even purple color. Then, the connective tissue ages lose water, and with it, and its elasticity. Capillaries die. For this reason, stretch marks fade away. (If you have a tan, then they are still disappointing – white. The explanation is that in the connective tissue there is no pigment).
The most common reason for the appearance of stretch marks skin-a a dramatic change in body size. That is why this misfortune often suffers
from pregnant women. It would seem that this is nonsense: there are stretch
marks and skin of those who lost
weight too quickly. Well, this is where they come from? Indeed, the
volume of the body, by contrast, decreased! What is there tension? It turns out
that when you lose weight too quickly, the blood supply of the skin
deteriorates, and with it falls sharply elasticity of the main subcutaneous
layer of the dermis. Where excess skin develops wrinkles in it “breaks” as if
over-dried paper to fold. Everything else you already know …
Dietitians accurately calculated the rate at which is acceptable
to lose weight without risk to make stretch marks in their abdomen or thighs.
The limit is: in a month you are allowed to reduce their weight by no more than
2%. For a woman weighing 75 pounds, this means the loss of one and a half
pounds, no more!
The important role is played by genetic factors. Tendency to stretch
the skin is inherited. If your mother or grandmother suffered from these strips
of dirty, then you will not be saved. Much depends on age. Oddly enough, but in
15-25 years the risk of stretch marks is the highest. This is due to the fact
that young skin is growing “too” slow. She often breaks, does not keep up with
the growth of the body. But in middle age are almost no stretch. The skin has
time to stretch out. Formed deep wrinkles. They contain stock “material”, which
is enough to compensate for any stretching. northern Women are more prone to
stretch marks than Southern women. For the reason that they have much more
delicate skin. What conclusion follows from the above? Stretch the skin from us
you do not protect yourself. It is sad but true …
How to deal with stretch marks?
How to deal with stretch marks? Experts recommend eating more protein. He is the main “building block” of the skin, is responsible for regeneration (updating) of the skin, their healthy and supple. However, the final word is prevention (as opposed to treating!) Stretch of the skin remains for many cosmetics. Their maximum objective – to moisten the skin and stimulate collagen formation. Well, more than in the skin of both, the higher the margin of safety.
Actually, the old and reliable means for the prevention of stretch
marks is ordinary olive oil. Today, however, olive oil added to an arsenal
of cosmetic products. As a rule, they contain natural elastin and collagen,
silicone, different nutrients, as well as hyaluronic acid – a powerful
moisturizer, “hold” moisture in the upper layers of the skin. Frankly, none of
these components can penetrate into the skin. The good news is that they
create on the surface of the skin very thin “sealing” a film that prevents
evaporation of moisture.
Relatively recently, there were medicines to prevent stretch marks
skin with herbal extracts. Essential oils of rosewood, lemon, mint, and wheat
germ oils and nuts are actively struggling with sagging skin, and biosaharidy,
reaffirming soy protein hydrolysates of carrot extract and tiger grass prevent
tension, reduce existing scars, strengthen the structure of the supporting
fibers of the skin and prevents flabbiness in by prolonged wetting. At least
that’s what they say in advertising. Can you believe all this? Well, yes and
no. Each of the components at one time was evidence of its effectiveness in
sterile laboratories. But when it comes to a specific production, too much
depends on the quality of raw materials, dosage, storage, and sales.
One of the latest contenders for the role of savior of our skin is stretch-retinol, ie vitamin A. Retinol is known for its potent effects on cells
of the skin: they actively synthesize protein, divide, produce collagen in the
dermis. Another firming ingredient demitil aminoethanol, or simply DMAE – also a substance of natural origin, which can make the human body itself, but
insufficient. DMAE has anti-inflammatory properties, reduces the redness in the
area stretching occurred, and smooths old scars. Unfortunately, the effect of
this substance is short-lived (no longer than days), and use tools with DMAE have a
daily basis.
Get Rid of Stretch Marks
and still, the best way to avoid stretching the skin, to prevent
sharp fluctuations in weight, lose weight, and get better gradually, not seduced
by the chance to lose five kilograms of the hated for the week. If, despite
your precautions, stretch marks are still there, do not rush to escape to beauty
salons. First of all, ask friends in misfortune, and have marketing research:

will not help – spread the arms and live on. In the end, stretch the skin of
another nobody died
Can anything prevent stretch marks?
Researchers
have located that many remedies stated to prevent stretch marks don’t clearly
paintings. In studies, neither almond oil, cocoa butter, olive oil, nor vitamin
E avoided stretch marks.
Other
elements may work. Researchers have determined that products containing Centella or hyaluronic acid may help prevent stretch marks. Centella is an herb,
and our skin certainly carries hyaluronic acid.
