Most people end up with stretch marks, especially pregnant women. (According to American Academy of Dermatology, 90% of women acquire them during pregnancy.) They don’t hurt but they do tend to itch. Some people say itching your stretch marks can make them worse. Stretch marks form either when the skin stretches either during pregnancy or excessive weight gain. Technically there is no way of getting rid of stretch marks or completely preventing them from forming. But there are natural ingredients and home remedies that can and will increase the chances of prevention of future ones from appearing and the reduction of existing ones. So, if you’re one of those people who are not prone to stretch marks, consider yourself lucky! 🙂
