Stretch Marks, How Do You Prevent Them, And How Do You Get Rid Of Them?

I am trying to build muscle, but I do not want stretch marks, is there a way to prevent them or get rid of them? I would prefer it to be natural rather than having surgery. Would water/lotion/moisturizers help? Also what about drinking more water?
If the only way is surgery, about how much would it cost?

How to Battle Dark Circles Under the Eyes

Rob — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:36:04 +0000

It’s a never-ending battle. Dark circles under the eyes are supposedly the second most complained about condition next to acne. And why wouldn’t they be? They’re awful and make us look sick, tired, bruised and….shall I say more?
If you’re reading this, you’re probably one who has battled with dark circles around your eyes almost your whole life. The reason is because they are not usually onset by something like lack of sleep or staring at a computer or TV for too long, as most might believe. They are hereditary in most cases and can’t be helped.
Here’s what happens: you’re basically being bruised, but naturally. The capillaries under your eyes may ‘leak’ and release blood cells. The result is a dark, bluish colour, just as when you bang into something and a vein is disturbed or broken. Your body starts to heal it by coming around to break down the blood cells, and when the red pigments are taken away from the ‘whole’, the rest is dark. This happens all the time in our bodies, and can be natural. Unfortunately, the skin around our eyes is extra thin, which makes this process more visible and unsightly.Preventing dark circles under eyes
One of the most obvious things to do would be to keep the skin around your eyes healthy and as thick as possible. Avoid sunlight, which can damage the skin, and be sure to use a good eye cream with SPF. Mineral makeup also acts as a natural sunscreen, so use that if you’ve got a choice.
If you have allergies, your dark circles will inevitably start to grow darker, especially if you rub your eyes, which can irritate those leaking blood vessels even more.. Keep your allergy medicine handy.
Get good rest. Yes, we said above that dark circles are not caused by lack of sleep, but lack of sleep can make your skin look more pale, which will only accentuate the dark under-eye circles.
Drink lots of water. Your body needs it in many ways, and this is one of them. With your dark circles you may also experience tiny wrinkles, which can be a sign of dehydration.
Get good Vitamin K, which helps promote healthy blood clotting and Vitamin C, which should strengthen your blood vessels, help the immune system heal those bruises and also rid you of toxins. Vitamin C is also essential in the production of collagen, which keeps your skin together. Even more, Vitamin C helps the absorption of Iron, a lack of which can cause dark circles under eyes.
Take in antioxidants. Antioxidants are not only good for your body, they help prevent bodily damage, which is ultimately what causes aging, and aging is a factor in dark under-eye circles. Common antioxidant foods are blueberries, cranberries, and even black and green tea. Grape seed extract is an antioxidant that also helps strengthen blood vessels.Home remedies
There are two main home remedies for treating dark circles under the eyes: cucumbers and tea bags. The main thing however, is that you keep the eyes cool, to help prevent the blood vessels from relaxing and rising too close to the skin. Think of it like freezing juice. When at normal temperatures, juice can go everywhere. But when it’s frozen, it’s stuck to its place. You’re not going to freeze your eyes, but at least cool them down. Cucumbers are cool at the center, as we’ve all experimented with, so that’s what helps. With tea bags however, not only does the coolness help, but also the caffeine is known to help reduce puffiness and is good for the skin around the eyes. This makes sense since tea bags (black and green only!) are also a great way to stop a cut from bleeding.
If you are really insecure about your dark circles, it may be that you will need to apply concealer daily, or use thick amounts of mineral makeup.
