		<description><![CDATA[Unsightly stretch marks, which are the scourge of virtually every pregnancy, can be treated in several ways, from otc stretch mark skincare treatments, diet and exercise to surgical stretch mark repair, like demabrasion, chemical peels and laser surgery. The red, purple and pink bands across the skin are exacerbated by dryness, a lack of vitamin A, C, and E in addition to zinc and protein deficiencies and not consuming enough fluids. Because insurance does not extend to cosmetic treatments to reduce stretch marks, it is important that women try to maintain a well-balanced diet, light exercise routine in addition to skin hydration during pregnancy. Unfortunately, stretch marks are a fact of life for ninety percent of all women who are pregnant, quite often revealing themselves by the end of the third trimester. Nevertheless, there are certain risk factors that may determine the severity of the scarring. In a mixed race study, 77.8% of those with darker skin colors and 45% of those with lighter skin colors experienced pregnancy stretch marks. An additional study discovered that there was a genetic link with most stretch mark sufferers&#8217; mothers also showing stretchmarks. Even more significant, though, was the finding that 81% of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you are pregnant, you can use as many stretch mark creams as you want. However, you may just not altogether prevent pregnancy stretch marks. When you&#8217;re four months pregnant, your body will go through a fast growth cycle. If you&#8217;re blessed with the right genes, you may not have pregnancy stretch marks at all if you practice proper health care and use pregnancy stretch mark creams. But for majority of women, the factors listed below will tell if they should be ready for pregnancy stretch marks. 1. Genes: If the women in the pregnant woman&#8217;s family (e.g., mom, sister, grandmom) had stretch marks, she will have stretch marks too. 2. Own history: Pregnant women who&#8217;ve had stretch marks in the past (pre-pregnancy) are definitely going to develop stretch marks while pregnant. Those stretch marks may also look longer during pregnancy and succeeding ones. 3. Quick weight gain: If you find yourself putting on weight rapidly in the early months of pregnancy, you will likely see stretch marks by the fifth month. 4.
