THE BEST STRETCH-MARK CREAMS THAT ACTUALLY IMPROVE YOUR SKIN'S APPEARANCE

        

what causes stretch marks : The source of stretch marks can seem mysterious, but there is actually a science-y reason behind them. We're more susceptible to getting stretch marks when our skin is dry or stretching quickly, like when we gain weight rapidly or during pregnancy, according to Dyer.

While you can’t always prevent stretch marks, Dyer says you can help prevent them (or minimize their appearance) by staying hydrated, maintaining a healthy weight, and eating foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, and zinc. To help minimize the appearance of stretch marks that you already have, Dyer has some advice for all skin tones.

"The fresher and more red the stretch marks are, the more effective lasers, such as Fraxel can be," she says. "When existing stretch marks are old and white, you can consider micropigmentation to make the white stretch marks blend better with the surrounding skin. If existing stretch marks are older and dark or brown in color, you can consider using a bleaching cream or lightening cream to help lighten them up."
