What are stretch marks? Why do they form?

Obesity is a common enemy of women, but are you familiar with what stretch marks are? Today, I will share with you what stretch marks are and why they occur. I hope I can help you.

Generally speaking, stretch marks on the thighs are caused by being too fat. This situation causes a large-scale mechanical accumulation of subcutaneous fat, which affects the elasticity of the skin and causes stretch marks on the skin. Some people, due to dieting and other reasons, experience a sharp decrease in subcutaneous fat in a short period of time, which can also cause wrinkles on the skin and cause stretch marks. Some people will also develop stretch marks even if they are of normal weight due to long-term use of hormonal drugs.

1. Gaining weight too quickly

This is a very important reason for the formation of stretch marks. As the volume of fat increases too quickly, the elastic fibers of the dermis are broken, forming stretch marks on the body. Generally, stretch marks grow in places where fat accumulates, such as the buttocks, thighs, and abdomen.

2. Rapid Weight Loss

Similar stretch marks can also be seen on some people who lose weight too quickly or even lose weight rapidly in a short period of time. This is because they have adopted improper weight loss methods, such as dieting or taking medication, which has caused a sharp decrease in subcutaneous fat and a sudden reduction in the original skin thickness, thus causing wrinkles.

3. Irregular life

Our body is a sophisticated instrument. The various organs and metabolism in the body operate according to certain rules. Once life becomes irregular or sleep is poor, it will disrupt the work of various organs in the body, causing metabolism to become disordered, affecting the blood circulation rate, which will also cause stretch marks.

4. Disease factors

Disease factors can also cause stretch marks, such as long-term use of glucocorticoids, or the effects of certain metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, etc. Similar skin patterns, namely stretch marks, can also form on the body.

1. Exercise to reduce obesity:

We gain weight because we don't exercise, sleep after eating, or lie down and play with mobile phones after eating. This is the way of life for more and more people nowadays. People with stretch marks should exercise more. Being too fat is not good for health. Although it is more difficult to exercise for obesity, you should persist. Exercise can reduce stretch marks, so keep working hard!

2. Enhance skin moisturizing:

If you have stretch marks, you should apply some skin care products containing hyaluronic acid every morning and evening, and massage them moderately to reduce the occurrence of stretch marks and relieve their fading.

3. Use anti-wrinkle cream to reduce obesity lines:

There are many anti-wrinkle creams on the market, but we can't just buy them and use them. We have to choose according to our skin type. If you are allergic to skin care products, you'd better not use them, lest the situation gets worse. Using anti-wrinkle cream and proper massage can play a role in reducing obesity stretch marks.

1. Many people are eager to lose weight and adopt some unscientific weight loss methods, which is irrational. It is best to adopt a scientific approach to lose weight and follow a gradual process.

2. Choose a suitable weight loss method according to your physical condition, and don’t choose unscientific methods such as dieting!

3. Do daily maintenance work, use some effective creams and professional products for removing stretch marks, so as to replenish collagen in the skin.

4. Develop good eating habits and moderate exercise are also essential, and stay away from high-calorie and high-sugar foods.
