What are stretch marks?
Stretch marks appear as darkened patches of skin, and may be quite unsightly, causing self-consciousness and a lowered self-image.
At Total Glow, we have created several excellent solutions for combatting stretch marks so you can start feeling good about your appearance again and showing your body off in public, at the beach or in the bedroom without a second thought. When our connective tissue goes through a rapid stretching process, such as during childbirth, puberty, or a period of weight loss or weight gain, that is when stretch marks form. Within a stretch mark, the collagen fibers have ruptured, and the blood vessels are now showing through, giving the stretch mark its red or purple tint.
