We all probably have stretch marks somewhere or the other on our body with the most common areas being the arms, thighs, buttocks and stomach. These whitish-purplish lines are not the best looking feature of our body and we often try and conceal them under clothes. The sad part is, once we have stretch marks, we cannot completely get rid of them. In order to prevent these, we need to know the reasons why we have them. Dr Shefali Trasi Nerurkar, a dermatologist, tells us the common causes of stretch marks.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy is one of the most common causes of stretch marks. Often women find their skin stretched out after delivery and these marks seldom fade away. This is because the skin stretches out as your body expands in size and if it isn’t properly hydrated and moisturised, it causes these lines to appear. Therefore, pregnant women are often advised to start applying a moisturising lotion a few months into their pregnancy to avoid stretch marks later.

Rapid weight gain

If you are someone who wants to bulk up in a short period of time, you better be prepared for the appearance of stretch marks on your skin. When our body mass increases rapidly, the body secrets more cortisol which results in stretch marks. It is best to use a moisturiser and gain weight at a moderate pace.

Sudden weight loss

Even losing too much weight in too less time can be the reason for the stretch marks all over your body. This sudden change can shock your skin and it reacts by forming lines. So make sure you pace out your weight loss goal in a manner that is safe for your skin as well as your body or else you won’t be able to flaunt it despite losing all the flab.

Use of excess steroidal creams

Creams containing steroids are often a cause for stretch marks when used in excess. If you cannot do without them, it is best to use a hydrating moisturiser along with it to prevent the occurrence of stretch marks.

Hormonal imbalance

A change in your hormonal imbalance can also cause stretch marks on your body especially if it is a rapid change or imbalance. This change is often due to an underlying medical condition such as Cushing’s syndrome.

Hereditary

If your stretch marks aren’t due to the above factors, they are probably hereditary. Many people suffer from Marfan syndrome or Ehler-Danlos syndrome which are both genetic disorders of the connective tissue.

Even though stretch marks cannot be completely erased, you can prevent them or lighten them with the use of certain home remedies and cosmetic treatments. If you want to get rid of them, you should opt for a treatment option when the marks are pink or red as they can be treated better. White or silvery lines are more difficult to treat.

Any subscribers to the Daily Mail schools of 'thought' may have come across the 5:2 skin diet.

This diet has nothing to do with food, but borrows its name from that gimmicky brand of intermittent fasting that gripped fitness fanatics in 2013. You know – the one that had people binging for five days and with empty stomach breath for two, leading to a spike in light-headedness on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

This time, beauty gurus have adopted the 5:2 approach to apply to skincare, encouraging women everywhere to eschew makeup for two days a week – consecutive or non-consecutive – and go barefaced.

According to its spruikers, two thirds of women wear makeup seven days a week and 71 per cent have found themselves with skin problems as a result of excessive foundation. The solution, they say, is to let your skin breathe – a get-gorge technique we've heard about as many times as "drink more water".

An apparent authority on the matter, Dr Tijion Esho – whose cosmetic institute is called @lebeau_ideal (because, faux Franco-sophistication) and who tweets from the handle @IAMDRBEAUTIFUL – says, "Taking makeup breaks of one or two days a week will dramatically improve your skin health and appearance by allowing healthy skin cells to regenerate."

Are you sure about that, Dr Beautiful?

Just like its nutritional forbearer, there's a complete dearth of research to back up the supposed benefits of the 5:2 skin diet. When it comes down to it, the restrictive makeup regime isn't that effective, as it takes longer than two days for your skin to regenerate. (Cell turnover takes approximately 27 days, not two. Think of how long it took for those unsightly racer-back tan lines to fade.)

All this is, really, is another hype-driven scheme pushed upon us, urging women to overthink our beauty regimes instead of just doing what we feel is normal.

As a human in possession of a face, sometimes one just doesn't feel the need to slather it with products. And just as rightly, sometimes one wishes to channel makeup's magical power to amp up the hawtness and make us feel five times better about ourselves. Does timing really matter? Why must an explanation or justification be necessary?

Over the years, we've learned collectively as women that dabbing silverly highlighter in the corner of our eyes will instantly make us more 'alluring'. We've been hydration-shamed into drinking 12-plus glasses of water a day and have been taught that contouring is both the greatest thing ever and the biggest time-wasting con of our time. The beauty industry has taught us so many valuable lessons – but the 5:2 skin diet is not one of them.

Our main bugbear is this: Why turn something as joyful as makeup – something that's about personal expression, something that literally turns you into an 'artist' (however amateur), something done on a whim – into a timetabled monotonous routine?

Leading the revolt against the restrictive product practice is the Guardian UK's Victoria Coren Mitchell. Coren Mitchell despises the repetitive drudgery laid out by 5:2, saying, "I have to work quite hard to keep remembering not to be frightened by a beauty industry which threatens the total disintegration of my face and body due to my shameful failure to adopt a proper 'routine'." We certainly feel her pain, especially when reading up on the more onerous aspects of 5:2 dieting.

We always have an option – 7:0, 0:7, 4:3, 2:5 – whatever, it's totally up to us. We resent the fact that loaded language such as 'diet' and 'detoxify' is being used to change our relationship with makeup, to co-opt something every woman has been doing without much thought to begin with, to demonise foundation, and to make us feel guilty or embarrassed whenever we put it on our face.

The 5:2 skin diet is based on the suggestion that being a slave to your makeup bag could be ageing you prematurely, yet wasting good years on such rigid, inane, inflexible modes of thinking is certainly worse.

Mustard oil also known as sarson ka tel is a common ingredient available in almost every Indian kitchen.

Cold, blustery weather is waiting to rear its ugly head whether the public likes it or not.

Winter weather may require revamping your normal health and beauty routine, as your skin and hair may need a bit more attention this time of year. Chances are you may be doing one or more things wrong this winter, according to beauty experts. Learn the mistakes many people make and how to avoid them.

Using the same foundation:

Makeup needs may change in the winter. In addition to exploring a different color palette, you may need to actually change the formulation of the products you use. Skin tends to dry out in the cold, necessitating a switch to a foundation that boasts moisturizing agents. People who find their skin is normally oily may find a product for combination skin acceptable.

Taking prolonged, hot showers:

Many people enjoy lingering in a hot shower or bath during the colder months of the year. But too much hot water can compromise your skin's ability to contain moisture, further complicating dryness that comes with the season.

Covering dry skin with makeup:

Slathering on makeup to hide dry skin will only make it more noticeable. Instead, do some gentle exfoliation and moisturize to combat the problem. Gently rub a wet washcloth over dry areas to remove flaky skin and prep your face for makeup application.

Going overboard with a tan:

Artificial tans can be unhealthy for the skin. Do not try to compensate for shorter bursts of sunlight by spending hours in a tanning bed. Avoid self-tanners and bronzers as well. If you must use bronzers, stick to one shade darker than your skin tone and only touch the places the sun would hit naturally.

Skipping sunscreen:

The sun still shines in the winter, and skin is still susceptible to damage. Make sun protection a year-round part of your beauty regimen. Use a moisturizer with SPF built in to make morning routines that much easier.

Forgetting hands and feet:

Skin on hands and feet can dry out in winter air. Wear gloves to protect hands and thoroughly moisturize. Use a pumice stone to give feet an exfoliating treat and slather on the moisturizer. Pull on a pair of cotton socks and let that moisture penetrate feet for soft soles and toes.

Selecting the wrong lip balm:

Chapped lips seem to be par for the course this time of year. Instead of reaching for a waxy lip balm full of menthol, which can exacerbate already dry lips, select a lip butter or something that has a more liquid consistency to get into the cracks of dry lips.

Ignoring hair:

Your hair and scalp may need some winter TLC as well. Use extra conditioner to combat dryness and breakage. Rely on heat-protection styling products to combat damage from hair driers and other heat-based styling tools.
