How to Prevent Pregnancy Stretch Marks
Understanding Stretch Marks
We have three layers of skin: the epidermis (outer layer), the dermis (middle layer), and the subcutaneous stratum (innermost layer). Stretch marks occur in the dermis, the resilient middle layer that helps the skin retain its shape. When the dermis is constantly stretched over time, the skin becomes less elastic and the small connective fibres within it break. The result is what we know as stretch marks.
Depending on your natural skin color, stretch marks begin as raised pink, reddish brown or dark brown lines that later turn a brighter violet or purple. Gradually these bright marks flatten and fade to a color a few shades lighter than your natural skin tone. They usually become less noticeable over time.
Stretch marks can appear anywhere on the body where the skin has been stretched, and they often occur as a result of weight gain. They're most likely to appear in places where fat is stored, including the abdomen, breasts, upper arms, thighs and buttocks. They pose absolutely no health risk and don't compromise your body's ability to function healthily.
Prevention
Imagine a balloon that's been blown up and then deflated. No matter how much you blow it up again, it's already lost much of its original elasticity and will never look quite the same. Stretch marks are similar, in that they don't ever go away entirely. The key, however, is finding ways to reduce their appearance. The earlier you begin treating stretch marks - when they are red or reddish brown - the more likely you are to diminish their appearance. Once these marks begin to flatten and fade they become less obvious and are more difficult to treat.
Between 80 and 90 per cent of women develop stretch marks during pregnancy. The sustained stretching on the abdomen as a result of weight gain usually means stretch marks will appear during the sixth or seventh month. But pregnant women aren't alone in being susceptible. Adolescents experiencing growth spurts and athletes - especially bodybuilders who practice strenuous and repetitive exercise - are likely to get stretch marks, as is anyone who gains or loses a significant amount of weight in a short period of time.
Preventative measures you can take: massage your skin with a glove or massage brush to increase circulation; apply BIOSKINCARE™ cream to the affected area on a daily basis to keep the skin supple while pregnant; and eat foods that contribute to the overall health of your skin, such as those high in vitamins C and E, zinc and silica.
The best stretch mark creams are not the ones that are rich in elastin and collagen, but those that trigger the generation of collagen, elasting and the water holding capacity of healthy skin. Collagen is the building block of skin, and elastin is the protein which gives skin its elasticity. By increasing the levels of these proteins in your skin from within, not by trying to add them from the outside, you can speed up cell rejuvenation and thicken the epidermal layer. Stretch marks will look better, and they will feel better to the touch.
BIOSKINCARE™ is made with a complex compound of powerful biologically active protein enzymes, copper peptides, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans.
The compound acts as a biological activator of both the elimination of dead and damaged skin cells and the renewal of healthy cells.
With repeated use, twice a day, BIOSKINCARE™ "digests" damaged cells, gently dissolves skin lesions, reduces scars and removes flaws. It also destroys pathogens and creates an environment that triggers the regeneration of normal collagen and a healthy skin. Nourishes the skin and protects it from oxidative damage due to free radicals. Improves elasticity, increases density, moisture retention capacity and skin's firmness and leaves it baby soft and soothed.

Body Cream for Scars and Stretch Marks - not for use on the face
Recommended for the treatment of stretch marks, scars, and back and chest acne. It is not recommended for facial application because it contains a higher content of our biological active ingredient, Helix Aspersa Muller Glycoconjugates than do BIOSKINCARE. This difference results in a thicker cream that leaves behind a thin protective film on the applied area. This thicker consistency is beneficial for occluding the area and keeping in moisture for a longer period of time, making the cream more effective in dissolving scars. However, its one disadvantage is that it is incompatible with make-up and may leave a thin milky looking film on your face that will quickly flake-off creating an unappealing effect.
