Natural Skin Care for Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are not a pleasant sight as almost any woman who has been pregnant can tell you. And those who have them are envious of those who don't. It is said that stretch marks are normal but if they can be prevented and/or made less or gotten rid of, then we can postulate these stretch marks out of existence. Well, at least make them "not-normal". Normally skin is fairly "elastic" but rapid growth as in pregnancy can result in stretch marks around the breasts and belly and other areas.

Stretch marks are created when tissues tear maily in the middle layer of the skin. This usually happens when a part of the body grows "too quickly" as in pregnancy. Rapid weight gain as sometimes occurs in puberty. And in contemporary America, with the food additives such as high fructose corn syrup and MSG which are in most foods, you are mostly fighting a losing battle.

One of the reasons the tissues tear is poor hydration. This can be handled in some obvious ways such as drinking more water. Water can solve numerous other physical problems as well. If you are going to put a lotion or skin cream on, then make sure that it is something that will help the skin absorb moisture - not necessarily oil. The skin is missing water not oil. Honey, the main ingredient of Thentix, is a humectant. That means it causes the skin to absorb moisture - this is vital. If you are drinking lots of water and applying Thentix or something like it as the skin is being stretched, you should be able to prevent most damage.

Also, you would want also to apply natural lotions or natural creams that have ingredients with healing properties. These would include aloe vera and vitamin E. These applied regularly will help the skin heal as it stretches and tears.

Collegen is another factor here. Either the production of collegen can't keep up with the stretching - rapid growth of the skin or it is disrupted somehow. More research is needed on this but collegen is basically protein so having enough protien in one's diet should be good start as far as offering a solution here.

When you are looking for a natural skin cream, do your research. There is a lot of misinformation about what should and should not be in a skin lotion or in different cosmetics. One should know what the different ingredients are used for.

Skin care and cosmetic products need to be preserved to stop bacterial and contaminan growth that may be introduced when using the product. Preservatives help ensure a safe and stable product.

Although we strive to have our products as natural as possible - and we do use natural compounds and essential oils extensively, we, as all cosmetic companies, need to comply with international safety regulations. We are required to include certain ingredients to stabalize products. Any product that does NOT contain these puts you at risk of infection.

Some manufacturers claim to use no preservatives. Great care must be taken when using these products, as they may be unstable and potentially dangerous.

Use Thentix with confidence and have healthy, smooth, good looking skin that feels wonderful.
