The stretch marks are one of the most common dermatological problems that bother men and women. They are small thin lines, like cracks in the skin. When they are created they have a dark or reddish color, while over time they become white.
Stretch marks are created by the abrupt stretching of the skin, which leads to tearing in the dermis, i.e. the middle layer of the skin.

Stretch marks appear mainly on the buttocks, hips and thighs but also on the abdomen, chest, sides of the waist and arms. A significant role in the prevention of stretch marks is played by the adequate amount of water and the balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables that will contribute to the maintenance of a healthy skin. Also, the care of the skin with moisturizing creams and oils, helps it to maintain its elasticity. But also the intake of vitamin C, which helps in the production of collagen, contributes to the consistency and elasticity of the skin.
