Stretch Marks & Cellulite

Stretch marks are thin, streaky scars that commonly appear in areas such as the belly, waist, hips and thighs. These marks are the result of sudden growth, whether it is because of natural growth during teenage years, rapid weight gain or the growth that women experience during pregnancy. Although they are harmless, stretch marks can be unsightly and in many cases they will remain on the skin forever. Stretch marks are extremely common and anybody can encounter them although they are more likely to occur in women rather than men, with 7 out of 10 women in the UK experiencing them at some point during their lives. Skins structure is made up of 3 layers. The epidermis (outer layer), dermis (middle layer) and subcutis (inner layer) when skin is exposed to rapid growth, it is the middle layer of skin that breaks up causing deep layers of skin to through, forming stretch marks.

Cellulite is the loose and often bumpy skin that appears in common problem areas such as the legs, thighs and hips. There are many ways that you can naturally prevent against cellulite. Following a low fat diet and regularly working out are the very best ways to avoid this issue. The causes of this problem are still widely unknown by many, but there are a number of factors that have been strongly linked to its occurrence. It is very important to understand the causes of this problem before you seek an anti cellulite treatment. The causes include hormonal changes, genetic factors, age and the thickness of your skin. It is widely believed that hormones play a big part in the development of adipose tissue, but it is more likely that lifestyle choices are the main reason behind this condition. People who eat a lot of fatty foods and do not partake is physical activity are more likely to develop this problem. Although skin thickness, age, gender, body fat distribution, diet, stress and lack of exercise all play a part, it is also believed that it is a hereditary condition. This might be the reason why many underweight and healthy people can also suffer from this problem.
