Vitamin E Prevents Stretch Marks Articles | Remedy

Stretch marks can happen when the skin is pulled by rapid growth or stretching.   Although the skin is usually fairly elastic, when it's overstretched, the normal production of collagen is disrupted.  As a result, scars called stretch marks may form.

If you're noticing stretch marks on your body, you're not alone.  Most girls and women have stretch marks, which tend to show up on the breasts, thighs, hips, and butt.  Many women get them during pregnancy.  And while they're more common in girls, guys can get stretch marks, too.

People who are obese often have stretch marks. Bodybuilders are prone to getting stretch marks also because of the rapid body changes that bodybuilding can produce.

Now you can prevent stretch marks by using a cream developed by Revitol.

The Revitol Stretch Mark Prevention cream is enriched with vitamin E, also a powerful antioxidant and essential ingredient for skin regeneration.  It can be derived from a variety of plants and nuts like almonds, kiwi fruits, and mangos.

Vitamin E is available in a variety of different forms, such as alpha, beta, delta, and gamma tocopherol.  The variety with the highest bioactivity for topical use on the skin surface is alpha-tocopherol.  It has shown a great variety of skin benefits in clinical studies, such as reduction in scarring and the reduction of stretch marks.  The effect of vitamin E on stretch marks is thanks to its regenerative effect on skin.  Vitamin E penetrates deeply into the skin to stimulate the growth of new cells, replacing the scar tissue found under stretch marks.

As such, the stretch marks become thinner, shorter and fade over treatments.  As vitamin E stimulates the production of new skin cells it has an even more powerful effect as a preventative treatment for stretch marks: it increases skin elasticity and firmness and helps in the regeneration process.  The application of vitamin E will make the skin less likely to tear, significantly decreasing the chance of stretch marks.
