Hello. I was sitting at the table and eating my breakfast when my wife all of a sudden turned around, looked at me and said, “how do teenagers get rid of stretch marks?” But I was just sitting there thinking how I could catch up with my chores in the greenhouse this morning. She was looking out the window at the teenagers and adolescents walking to the school. She probably got just a little bit nostalgic. I can’t imagine other reason why she would brought up this question.
However my dearest wife has presented me with a relevant question, which I will do my best to answer. It seem that our granddaughter who has a couple of friends who are a little older than her, had been present when my wife and daughter were having one of their many conversations about stretch mark removal. She had mentioned to my wife that one of her friend has stretch marks.
The problem is as teenagers approach puberty they have a tendency to grow like the weeds in my garden and greenhouse if I don’t tend to it soon. Sorry about that! What will happen here is these growth spurts stress the skin to its maximum and stretch marks might form. Happens all the time and it looks like my granddaughter might be including herself in future discussions about skin health.
Youth does have advantages though and a teenager’s skin is likely to be more flexible and elastic. If you are a teenager and like my granddaughter wish to prevent stretch marks, you need to start a prevention program. Firstly avoid letting your weight spiral unnecessary, eat a healthy nutritional diet. This will mean forgetting about the big Macs, fries, coke and milk shakes. This helps sustain your ideal weight and lessens the chances of stretch marks occurring.
Take a Vitamin E supplement plus a multivitamin supplement to help your body fight against stress and keep your skin and hair beautiful. If you haven’t started using a moisturizer, for skin care, yet do so. It is better than having to use a stretch mark cream later. Moisturizers are best applied after your bath or shower; remember to pay particular attention to those areas where scars can appear, upper arms, breasts, thighs and buttocks. These are also areas where cellulite can appear. If you won’t be careful you gonna soon start asking questions about how to get rid of stretch marks and cellulite.
In conclusion I would like to say that if you are a teenager, don’t wait until you need to ask the question, how do teenagers get rid of stretch marks, try prevention now. It is always better to prevent than to get rid of things. Trust me.
