The vast majority of us here in Australia have some stretch marks on our body and they occur for a number of different reasons. They generally appear when we put on weight quite quickly but they even occur when we are building muscle as well. They typically occur when young people are making the transition from a kid to an adult, during pregnancy and as was touched on briefly before, if you get bigger quickly as a result of your lifestyle or life situation. Whatever the reasons, the fact that they appear on your body and they look different from your normal skin leads to self-esteem issues.
Many people ask themselves the same question about how to get rid of stretch marks and the good news is that we can turn to technology to provide us with some of the answers. Some people use certain devices like derma pens to address the discolouration and over time, these actually work. There are other things that you can do however every single day to help you to get rid of your stretch marks and the following are some of those.
- Moisturise every single day – Your skin needs to be properly hydrated so that you can provide it with the flexibility that it needs so that when your body does get bigger, your skin can handle the situation. If your skin is properly hydrated then it is increasingly unlikely for stretch marks to appear and your skin is able to prepare itself more quickly and naturally as well. There are actually creams out there designed for such things and so do your due diligence and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
- Increase your water intake – Many Australians don’t drink enough water every single day and because many of us live in a fairly hot climate, we should be enjoying at least 3 litres or more of water every single day. We lead such busy lives and so we constantly forget to stop and have five or six glasses of water in the afternoon and so get yourself into the habit of having your own personal water bottle and this will encourage you to drink from it on a regular basis.
- Become an exfoliator – You’ve heard about the terminator movies before well your particular movie part in this life is called the exfoliator and this is when you exfoliate your skin on a regular basis to remove all of those dead skin cells and to help stimulate some regeneration. By doing so, you will help to reduce how your stretch marks appear and over time, it should help to make them disappear altogether.
Always remember that science is also there to help you out and so try to find out about the various professional treatments that are currently available for any stretch marks that you might have. They provide you with fast and effective results so you look better quicker and more easily.
