Stretch marks are normal. Most of us have had or currently have them, and they are just a sign of change. They can be the result of weight gain, growing quickly, increasing muscle mass in a specific area, or hormones. Whatever the cause, we know how much these marks can impact our self confidence. The easiest way to not deal with stretch marks is to not get them in the first place. Drink lots of water to keep the skin hydrated, and try to avoid rapid weight gain or loss if at all possible.
