Stretch marks are nothing more than a tear in the dermis that occurs when you loose or gain weight rapidly. The changes in the elastic supportive tissue underneath your skin cause these markings. Stretch marks occur in women of all ages, typically on the breasts, arms, stomach and thighs. Any type of weight gain or loss can lead to stretch marks, making pregnancy stretch marks on the abdomens symptomatic of the later stages of pregnancies, when the skin expands more quickly.

How can I Prevent Stretch Marks from Occurring?

Eating healthy is the first important tactic in the battle against stretch marks. This will benefit both your skin and insides. Eating moderate portions will help you to avoid the rapid weight gains, which make you prone to developing stretch marks.

A healthy diet should be complemented by a daily vitamin supplement; your doctor will most likely recommend or prescribe you one, as vitamins help you maintain your body healthy and functioning at its full potential. Some vitamins like the B's, Vitamin A and D, are particularly important for skin flexibility and hydration processes. Remember, a healthy and happy you, means a healthy and happy baby.

Following through with a regular exercise routine will also help you to avoid gaining weight too fast. Check with you doctor about the routine you want to implement before hand.

Daily cleansing routines should be followed up by a natural skin care treatment that moisturizes your skin. Stretch marks can be better avoided if your skin is moist and flexible.

You also can treat your skin to frequent massages in the areas where you want to avoid stretch marks, the sides, hips, upper legs, buttocks and breasts are good areas to start. Massaging loosens the skin and stretches it in a healthy way to prepare it for change.

Despite the fact that there are thousand of moisturizing creams currently on the market that claim to help with stretch marks, there are no real guarantees that you can reduce your pregnancy stretch marks. Stretch marks are hard to diminish once they've occurred; it is therefore particularly important to try and prevent stretch marks by moisturizing your belly on a daily basis during pregnancy.
