What are Stretch Marks?
Stretch Marks are tiny tears in the dermis that shows through to the epidermis (top layer of skin) on the hips, abdomen, breast and upper thighs. It can vary in colour from light pink to brown.
What Causes Stretch Marks?
Our skin consists of three layers:
- Epidermis
The top layer of the skin, locks in moisture and prevent toxins from entering the body.
- Dermis
The second layer of the skin (where stretch marks occur) where collagen and elastin fibers are produced, giving it a firmer and younger appearance.
- Hypodermis
The third layer of the skin which constitutes fat and connective tissue.
Stretch Marks occur when the skin does not stretch enough to accommodate body changes during pregnancy, rapid growth and weight changes. This excessive stretching process breaks down elastin and collagen fibers, causing stretch marks, loss of tone, fine lines and wrinkles.
