Striae distensae commonly called stretch marks are a concern faced by different people. Stretch marks that have developed in obvious places are unsightly. The condition can even be worse by removing it using bad products that can be soulfully painful and harmful to your body. Seeing this unhealthy practice being done repeatedly is saddening, hence if you use international brands, use medicines that are nontoxic to make sure it is safe.
Repeated use of international machine-made products is a common remedy for itch and stretch marks. They are used to pacify the urge to release the unsightly lines caused by stretch marks. It’s saddening to see when people do unhealthy practices and use commercial products with synthetic ingredients that can be toxic and can hurt their health just for the sake of satisfying their urge to look interesting.
Moreover, using anecdotal records from books to advise women regarding stretch marks but not following the right context is also saddening to see. I hope people can truly understand the effect of this. If the recommendation notes from the book are not appropriately followed and worse twisted for some purposes, this can result in side effects. This post includes gentle reminders because we are truly concerned for the welfare of our readers. We want you to be saved from side effects.
Certain botanical formulators remain patient in producing a cream that can improve elongated stretch marks. They believe that stretch marks can be improved by using safe and healthy ingredients. One of the anti-stretch marks ingredients that have been proven effective is argan oil. This post presents an in vivo study that reports the effect of a stretch mark cream containing argan oil.
Argan oil in anti-stretch mark cream
An argan oil-containing cream that can be used as a prevention or early treatment for stretch marks has been formulated by a group of researchers in 2016. The formulated cosmetic cream is emollient water in oil. The ingredients of the cream include argan oil and other suitable substances that can help maintain skin’s elasticity. Thus moisturizing agents and emollient ingredients were added.
The cream was tested on the skin of 22 volunteers aged between 22 years and 60 years. They applied the cream twice a day for 7 days. It is cutaneously applied by massaging it on the affected area on the upper arms of the volunteers.
The findings of the study demonstrated that the argan oil-containing cream can improve and increase the upper skin layer’s elasticity, but yielded no significant changes in the hydration level of the stratum corneum, and epidermis thickness. This result was concluded due to the short period that the cosmetic cream was typically applied. The cream also was considered to be non-irritant as it did not cause any adverse effects such as erythema pruritus or itch. This cream containing argan oil is helpful in the prevention or early treatment of stretch marks.
I hope that we will start applying good remedies to heal Elongated stretch marks and use safe and good creams to be healthier. Please don’t delay nor neglect embracing good practices because unhealthy practices may cause side effects.
Choose good topicals and start reducing unhealthy practices, please
