Whenever the skin has to stretch faster (especially when a gal is pregnant) Things that you can do to help, get some cocoa butter lotion (really any to help keep your skin soft) and drink lots and lots of water!!! This will help your skin to stay hydrated and less likely to stretch. Eat healthy, exercise (within reason if pregnant, walking is the very best, it will help a gal to have an easier and faster labor, and just about anyone can walk even if it is only 15 minutes at a time. Take your vitamins and take care of your body.

Stretchmarks are from your skin being stretched at a rate faster than what it can handle. You really cannot avoid them. Some people are more genetically prone to them than others.

People get them when they grow faster than their skin can stretch. This happens to women when they get pregnant, kids that are growing and teens that mature through puberty. It all has to do with how elastic your skin is and how fast it stretches. Some say that it is hereditary but I don't know how true that is. Their are different lotions and creams that can help the skin.

people get stretchmarks when your body outgrows your skin and when you lose weight drastically.
applying vitamin e creams could help. i'd suggest that if you don't have them and would want to be sure not to get them, go and visit your general practitioner... he or she could give you a much better solution to your problem...

You get them when the skin is stretched fast, and it cannot grow fast enough to accommodate. Like weight gain or pregnancy. It is generally hereditary, so ask your mother, grandmothers or aunts if they have them and how bad. You cannot really keep from getting them but you can try to minimize them with regular moisturizers, and not gaining weight. But that's hard to do sometimes. That's like saying "boobs don't grow", or never getting pregnant.
