Q. Can anyone develop stretchmarks?
A.
Many believe that stretchmarks are reserved for pregnant women, and are amazed when they find some on their own body. Actually anyone can develop stretchmarks. They are most often the result of a rapid growth spurt and can affect both sexes. This is often the case with boys who suddenly shoot up a few inches in a very short period of time.
*Did You Know
Apparently oily skin handles the stretching of the skin more easily than dry, so it is adviseable to slather on the moisturizing creams.
*What You Eat
Research is also pointing in this direction. Healthy skin stretches with more ease and will return to its original state more quickly. So, that means lots of fruit and veggies worked into your diet. Now you have another reason, just in case you aren't a big fan of this food group.
