Peelings and daily scrubbing prevent stretch marks

MUNICH - Regular peelings and daily washing with a brush prevent stretch marks, the German women’s magazine 'freundin' reports.

Peelings and washings increase circulation and keep the tissue elastic, the Munich-based magazine said. The same is true of massages. Stretch marks occur when the skin is stretched during pregnancy or from being overweight.

When stretch marks are already visible on the skin, certain substances can help. Though they cannot remove the small streaks, they can help conceal them. Peptide and silicon derivatives are effective, as well as plant extracts from ivy, lady’s mantle, mimosa and holy thistle, the report said.
