Stretch marks – these unsightly, white, brindle changes in the structure of the skin are a source of complexes and shame for many people. There are many ways to get rid of stretch marks – they take time, but bring visible results.
Stretch marks they arise as a result of stretching of the skin due to rapid weight gain, changes in the shape of the figure during adolescence, hormonal changes during a developing pregnancy or as a result of building muscle mass. Stretch marks they can appear on the breasts, abdomen, buttocks, thighs and arms.
The skin, tightly stretched due to changes in the body shape, cannot keep up with the production of the right amount of collagen fibers and becomes weakened, resulting in the appearance of stretch marksinitially looking like cracks in the skin. Despite the fact that collagen fibers are very durable, and according to studies, a force equal to 1 kilograms is needed to break one collagen fiber with a diameter of 10 mm, weakening of collagen fibers may occur in both teenagers and much older people. During pregnancy, the woman’s body increases the level of cortisol, called the stress hormone, which disrupts the work of fibroblasts – connective tissue cells and weakens collagen fibers, then on the skin, stretched by the developing fetus, appear stretch marks.
Collagen fibers can be strengthened with the help of appropriate dietary supplements. Hanoju offers a high-quality supplement with collagen and hyaluronic acid that helps to prevent stretch marks. You can buy the dietary supplement for smooth skin at medonetmarket.pl.

Stretch marks initially they look like branchy red cracks. They itch and sting and the skin feels tight.
Fight against stretch marks it is worth starting at the stage of daily skin care, preventing changes by proper moisturizing and elasticizing the tissue. Nourished, soft skin is more prone to stretching, reducing the effects of the rapid development of muscle mass or belly volume in pregnancy. Greasing, moisturizing and massaging the skin, preferably using special sponges and massagers with protrusions, improves blood and lymph circulation in the skin, making it elastic and healthy. Proper care also helps to remove cellulite and prevent its formation. We recommend the iodine-bromine thermal brine for the Zabłocka bath, which has a very positive effect on the skin, reducing the visibility of stretch marks, cellulite as well as acne or psoriasis lesions.
It is worth introducing simple skin care treatments to your daily habits: a few minutes a day devoted to skin care is an investment for years. Try a bath with the addition of Zabłocka algae-thermal salt for bathing and peeling with relaxing, firming and regenerating properties.
Adequate diet and control of hormone levels in the body are also of great importance in the prevention of formation stretch marks. A zinc-rich diet helps maintain a healthier and more supple skin. Zinc is contained in, among others, pumpkin seeds, nuts, meat and offal, buckwheat, peas and cheese.
For stretch marks, try also the snail slime gel, which nourishes and moisturizes the skin, as well as Anka Dziedzic stretch mark cream with routine and wild bean extract.
