Stretch Mark Cream & Oil | Scar Care

Can you get rid of stretch marks?

Stretch marks are a natural part of skin's story and don't usually disappear completely, but they do tend to fade over time, from red or purple to a paler, silvery shade. Regularly massaging in a nourishing body cream or body oil keeps skin soft and supple, and can help the area look smoother and more even. For deeper or more established marks, a dermatologist can talk you through professional treatments.

What causes stretch marks?

Stretch marks form when skin stretches quickly and the collagen and elastin that support it can't keep up. Common causes include growth spurts during puberty, gaining or losing weight, building muscle and pregnancy. Genetics and hormones play a big part too, which is why some people are more prone to them than others.

What's the best product for stretch marks and scars?

Most of this edit is body oils, and that's no accident: rich oils such as rosehip, along with vitamin E and centella asiatica, help keep skin soft, supple and moisturised. Whatever you choose, consistency matters more than anything, so massage it in morning and night, focusing on areas like the hips, thighs, tummy and upper arms. For scars, wait until the skin has fully closed before you start, and protect the area with a body SPF, as sun exposure can make scars more noticeable.
