Manage your scars and stretchmarks

Life is tough. Not just on your mind, but on your body too. 

We’re forever bumping, bashing, scraping and scratching ourselves against things, and your skin takes the brunt of it.

Not to mention the effects of your weight yo-yoing up and down. Really then, it isn’t surprising that we’re all bound to pick up our fair share of scars and stretchmarks.

That doesn’t mean, though, that you just have to grin and bear it.

Scars no longer have to be for life and careful management can help you minimise your stretchmark stress.

Upping your blood circulation to the affected area is the key to managing your blemishes.

You can take a holistic approach and try to increase your circulation through regular exercise and health eating, or you can focus on the area at hand.

Here’s how you can deal with your skin’s problem areas.
