You have just had you second child and now you are wondering how you can ever wear a bikini again. You rush past the mirror each morning just to avoid seeing those horrible purple streaks across your stomach that are thicker than your finger. You are not sure whether it is just in your genes or if your refusal to follow the doctor's advice to apply moisturizing lotion twice daily caused these unsightly scars. One thing that is certain though and that is the fact that you are in need of some stretch mark skin care. For cases like this, there are advanced skincare techniques that may not completely remove the marks but will at least leave you feeling satisfied.

Stretch marks are every pregnant woman's anxiety and although they are common, they are certainly not very attractive. The inevitable expansion of the body to accommodate the baby often leaves pink, red or purple streaks on the skin of the abdomen, breasts, upper arms, buttocks and thighs. The condition is further exacerbated by dryness, a lack of vitamin A/C/E/zinc/protein and not ingesting sufficient fluids.
