When it comes to our bodies many of us will do what we can to make sure that they stay healthy and look great.
It is why we will try to drink and eat healthy foods, exercise, or use crazy diets or supplements.
Doing all of these things will help to keep us in shape and looking great - which will in turn help us to have a better attitude towards life.
But there are certain things that can happen without us realizing it.
One such problem is stretch marks.
This type of scarring occurs on the surface of the skin and is caused when we gain or lose a large amount of weight.
The skin will stretch and as a result will tear the skin creating these purple marks.
The most common place that they will develop are our bellies.
The good thing is there are ways in which we can protect this.
There are two very effective methods that we can use which will help to protect the largest organ in our body - skin.
One of the main reasons that this will tear is because there is not enough moisture in our skin to give it the elasticity that it needs.
Water One of the best ways that we can help to fix this problem is to drink lots of water.
Water helps to cleanse out impurities from our skin.
It also helps to keep it strong and healthy and therefore allow it to handle any stretching that might be affecting it.
This is one of the many reasons why pregnant women will drink lots of water.
Lotions There are many lotions on the market that will help to treat belly stretch marks.
It is best to use the ones that contain vitamin E.
this is specially used to help improve the look and the elasticity of the skin.
Pregnant women are encouraged to apply this every morning and night to their bellies.
