When it comes to stretch marks no one is immune. They can affect anyone – rich or poor, young and old and yes, even men! Glamorous celebrities also have them. Take Cindy Crawford for instance. From the pictures taken by the Daily Mail during a Hawaiian holiday, it?s obvious that motherhood has taken its tool on the 41-year-old supermodel. Crawford is the mother of two kids aged 8 and 6. Her stretch mark ? ravaged tummy is a far cry from her days as one of Playboy’s 100 Sexiest Stars of the 20th century. Other members of the stretch marked set include Reese Witherspoon, Kate Beckinsdale, Nicole Ritchie, and Scarlett Johansson. While not all of them are mothers, they are living proof that stretch marks can form if the conditions are right. ?The science is simple – put your body under too much trauma, too eye secrets quickly, and it will manifest the stress and strain as a stretch mark – a gap deep below the skin’s surface in the dermis, caused by the stretching or tearing of collagen and elastin fibers that form the support network responsible for tone and firmness,? explained the Daily Mail. Stretch marks occur when the skin is pulled by rapid growth or stretching. This usually occurs during pregnancy, weight gain or extreme weight loss. The skin is normally elastic and retains its shape. However, during these conditions, the overstretched dermis or middle layer of the skin breaks down causing stretch marks to form. ?If you’re noticing stretch marks on your body, you’re not alone. Most girls and women have stretch marks, which tend to show up on the breasts, thighs, hips, and butt. Many women get them during pregnancy.
