Although they are most often thought of as a problem of pregnancy, stretch marks or striae can occur anytime the skin is stretched too rapidly and the collagen production within its tissue is interrupted as a result. Stretch marks often develop in growing children as well as in people who gain weight quickly due to lifestyle changes or health problems. While most stretch marks fade in color over time and gradually become less noticeable, most people are anxious to banish them as quickly as possible. The Thalgo Stretch Marks collection is designed to help those suffering from stretch marks by assisting the healing process to eliminate striae faster.
The products in the Thalgo Stretch Marks range use seaweed and natural herbal oils to heal the scarring under the skin that appears as stretch marks. When used during pregnancy or during growth spurts, the items in the Thalgo Stretch Marks collection can also decrease the likelihood of the appearance of stretch marks in the first place. The natural ingredients in the Thalgo Stretch Marks range make them safe for use daily.

Additional Thalgo Stretch Marks Information
Stretch marks develop when the skin is stretched and strained due to pregnancy, growth or weight gain, interrupting the production of the structural proteins that keep the skin supple. As a result, tearing and then scarring that looks like sets of dark, parallel lines develops in the affected regions. The items in the Thalgo Stretch Marks collection were designed to heal the scars from stretch marks with the healing powers of the sea. The anti-stretch mark products made by Thalgo also keep the skin suppler to prevent the scars from forming initially.
The Thalgo Stretch Mark Cream does double duty as both a preventive product for pregnant women and an effective treatment product for anyone dealing with stretch marks. The cream contains a blend of collagen and elastin obtained from marine plants. These soothing proteins supplement the supply found naturally in your skin, making it better able to stretch without tearing or scarring. The cream also contains tamanu oil for softening and hydrating as well as wheat germ oil to battle the free radicals that can age the skin all over your body.
To prevent stretch marks during pregnancy, women should begin applying the Thalgo Stretch Mark Cream formula to their abdomens and breasts daily beginning at the third month of gestation. For those battling to fade existing stretch marks, the cream is most effective when applied directly to the scars, massaged into the skin and used daily for three months. The cream comes in a 3.38-ounce inverted tube.
