<p>Stretch
marks are the curse of many of us women!
They are unsightly, irritating and they can appear all of a sudden,
sometimes when we least expect. <br></p><p>Stretch
marks are technically a form of scarring on the skin. They can be slightly blue or pinkish in colour in
the form of little lines and tears on the skin. These marks can disappear or lighten over time but sometimes
they will stay with us as a little lifelong companions. </p><h2>Treating
Stretch Marks</h2><p>Don't panic! There are ways to
both prevent and tackle stretch marks. Firstly prevention is always better than
cure - it is a cliché but a true statement. In terms of preventing stretch marks there are times
when you will have warning that you are at risk of getting these little tears
in your skin such as pregnancy and puberty.</p><h2>Growing
Up & Stretch Marks</h2><p>When a teenager is starting to have growth spurts it is a good idea to use body
oils rich in vitamins as a body moisturizer daily this will nourish the skin
and enrich it with hydrating goodness and should be packed full of natural
vitamins. Key ingredients to look out for are, Vitamins A, C & E.
Organic vegetable oils such as, Apricot, Olive, Jojoba, Baobab, Sesame, Evening
Primrose and Soyabean are all fantastically skin nourishing either on their own
or combined with another oil.</p>
<h2>Pregnancy
& Stretch Marks</h2><p>
</p><p>Pregnancy is the one time when you
can be prepared to fight stretch marks. Ensure you use a
vitamin rich oil during pregnancy this to give you the best chance of treating
stretchmarks and remember to use afterwards to ensure your skin has healed.
All the aromatherapy suggestion including essential oils can be during
pregnancy. However please ask a qualified
Aromatherapist to make you a blend as it is really important to use the right
dosage of oil during pregnancy.</p><h2>Essential Oils & Stretch Marks</h2><p>As well as using the very effective
organic vegetable oils to tackle the stretch mark cure, essential oils are as
