What Are The Causes Of Stretch Marks On The Body?

Stretch marks are essentially bands of parallel lines on the skin, which usually vary in colors and texture in comparison to the rest of your skin. When these first appear on the skin, the marks are red and inflamed, and with time, these stretch marks become smooth and white in color. While they are most common during the course of pregnancy, stretch marks may also appear due to drastic changes in body weight or even excessive muscle gain. A sudden increase in the body weight leads to overstretching of the internal fibers, due to which the skin faces disruption of collagen and therefore, with this lack of elasticity, stubborn stretch marks tend to appear.

How To Effectively Remove Stretch Marks?

While the appearance of stretch marks is difficult to completely remove from the skin, it is not impossible! Key here is to act quickly during the initial days itself, i.e. when the stretch marks are relatively fresh, inflamed, red in color and unevenly textured. In some cases, stretch marks may cause itch due to excessive inflammation. During this time, stretch marks can be easily treated with soothing gels and cooling oils, followed by a massage on the affected area, to instantly restore the elasticity in the skin. Stretch marks which are white in color and smooth in texture, usually take longer to disappear. However, with regular application of concentrated yet nourishing natural formulations, stretch marks easily diminish. Authentic natural stretch marks removing oils are rich in plant derived vitamins and minerals which are essential to accelerate the collagen production in the skin, whilst providing intense nourishment to the damaged cells.

Our Ayurveda Experts recommend using the Mother’s Stretch Mark Oil Nalpamarathy Keram by Forest Essentials to reduce the appearance of body stretch marks. The nourishing oil is Made Safe certified, and hence is completely safe to use during and after pregnancy. This natural stretch mark oil is an effective formulation of highly potent herbs in a base of organic cold pressed oils, which are traditionally known to restore the skin’s collagen, deeply nourish the skin from within and smoothen its texture. It is blended with Amla and Jivanthi, which are rich in vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients that help stimulate blood circulation and nourish the body. With increased blood circulation, the collagen production restores leading to a reduction in the appearance of starkly white stretch marks. This Ayurvedic stretch mark removal oil is also infused with Green Turmeric and Kachura, which are known to heal and soothe inflamed skin, and thereby reduce the appearance of inflamed stretch marks. Along with these calming and soothing herbs, the emollient oils blended to formulate this highly effective stretch mark oil keep the skin well moisturized, nourished and hydrated, while providing it a radiant sheen.

To optimally use the Forest Essentials Mother’s Stretch Mark Oil Nalpamarathy Keram, apply it on the affected area for thirty minutes and gently wipe off the excess remaining with a hot towel. Then, massage the Forest Essentials Balaswagandha Oil or any cold pressed oil of your choice, using upward strokes on the body and keep this on for as long as possible before heading for a shower or a bath.

Studies have also shown that the following effective natural remedies can fade stretch marks over time if followed diligently in addition to the skincare products mentioned above.

Include up to 8 to 10 glasses of water in your daily diet to keep the body well hydrated throughout. If the body is hydrated, the skin naturally restores lost elasticity, while becoming supple and soft.
Opt for a healthy diet that is rich in Vitamin A, C and E, Antioxidants and Omega 3 fats. Make sure to include berries, citrus fruits, Kiwi, Melons, Broccoli, Pineapple, Spinach, Flax Seeds, Chia Seeds, and Walnut as they help increase collagen production in the skin and combat radical damage.
Try dry brushing on the affected area as it can help loosen the dead skin cells and thereby, stimulate cell renewal. Follow with a shower, as usual.
