Let’s Talk About Strechmarks

Summer is upon us and I know the one thing on everyone’s minds: how can I look swimsuit ready?!

I have already been showing you how I lost 3% body fat (now up to 5%!) by beginning a weight lifting regimen. There is so much more to looking great in your swimwear than toning up, though! Your skin says a lot about your health, fitness level, and age!

I am actually embarrassed to admit (but I may not be alone) that I first got stretch marks in high school! It would have been wonderful if other ladies had opened up about their experience with stretch marks at a young age– I might not have felt so uncomfortable about the skin blemishes! To me, stretch marks were reserved for older women who had either been pregnant or gained a significant amount of weight. It wasn’t until I started witnessing my guy friends bulking up quickly for sports that I realized that stretch marks aren’t just a woman problem, but also a man anddd a youth problem as well! The lines come from continuous force on your skin to extend itself from the current state. This means that weight gain OR muscle gain can cause the issue!
The truth is… most of us have or will have stretch marks at some point in our lives! However, we all like to keep that a little secret and let others think we don’t suffer from stretch marks like everyone else.

    I'm in week 40 of my pregnancy with no stretch marks. I am on my 3rd order of dermelastic serum. They last me about a month each and I started using around week 24. I do not have a genetic history of stretch marks (Mom, Sister), but still wanted to make sure I took care of my growing stomach and prevented what I could. Seems to have worked!
