ALL YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT STRETCH MARKS

Stretch marks!!! Most girls night mare.... I'll be talking bout stretch marks...

Anybody could get stretch marks but the female folks tend to be affected more because they are prone to constant stretching of the skin which brings me to the causes of stretch marks.
Stretch marks just like the name implies are caused by constant stretching of the skin which could lead to loss in elasticity.. The severity depends on certain factors which include genetic factors, level of stress on the skin and cortisone level.. Listed below are some risk factors

• Being female
• Having personal or family history of stretch marks
• Being pregnant
• Being overweight or obese
• Rapidly gaining or loosing weight
• Using corticosteroid medications

Stretch most times can't be totally prevented... But be sure to moisturize your entire body regularly especially areas prone to stretching (breast, hips, buttocks, arms e.t.c) with natural body butter e.g shea butter, cocoa butter and the likes.. Constant moisturizing tend to help the skins elaticitiy which could reduce the likelihood of having stretch marks... Whatever the case might be,stretch marks fade with time... So patience is key...
To all ladies with stretch marks, do not allow any body male or female to make you feel less beautiul because of the marks... People who don't have them are no better than you are.... Its your body... You need to love it, that way nobody will be able to run you down with their words... How people treat you is a reflection of the way they see you treat yourself...
To the guys, well theres no such thing as being perfect... You have got to learn to look beyond physical flaws.
