Stretch marks can be red, purple, brown or silver lines. Stretch Marks mainly occur on the breasts, hips and stomach and other areas such as the thighs and arms during pregnancy or rapid weight gain. Many young women develop Stretch Marks on breasts and hips during puberty. Stretch marks affect many women sometime during the last trimester of pregnancy, appearing between the hips and below the belly button.

Stretch marks occur when skin is stretched over the maximum capacity. Stretch marks appear when growth is so rapid that your skin's elastic fibres break. Although it occurs less often, stretch marks can also be caused by some hormonal problems, certain diseases and medications.

Stretch marks in Pregnancy occur when underlying skin tissue stretches to make room for a growing foetus but doesn't snap back to its original form without scarring after the baby is born. The stretching itself may damage elastic fibres and proteins called collagens, important pieces of the framework that hold skin cells together in the dermis, keeping this layer of tissues just below the skin surface smooth and strong.

Hydration is a very important factor in Stretch Mark treatment. Areas where stretch marks occur are particularly prone to wrinkles. Dehydration contributes to the development of wrinkles and hydration is one of the first suggestions that dermatologists make to patients who are concerned about aging.

Aloe Vera promotes the development of collagen, a substance that gives your skin its elasticity, resulting in firmer and toned skin, which is more able to prevent Stretch Marks.

Essential Lavender has a rich history with expectant and new mothers. In the 1600s midwives crushed and heated lavender flowers for women who had back pain during pregnancy. The flowers were also an important part of the birthing experience, and were said to raise the spirits of the new mother, baby, and their attending midwife. Chamomile is soothing and gentle in a time of sensitivity.
