Stretch marks: the most interesting and one very effective solution

These are those unsightly marks that appear on our bodies, especially on the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and breasts, as a result of skin stretching. They are common in women—we all get them—especially after pregnancy or sudden weight changes.

Why do stretch marks appear?

The answer, once again, lies in collagen and elastin , two proteins that give our skin its elasticity. When the skin stretches rapidly, these proteins break down, creating stretch marks.

"My first stretch marks appeared on my body at the tender age of 14. Naively, I thought they would go away, that it was just a passing phase. Over time, I learned to understand my skin and realized that they would be with me forever. Of course, I've had them treated and their appearance has improved considerably."

Myriam, Brand Director of SKINVITY.
