What are stretch marks?
Stretch marks are indented streaks that appear on your skin, also called stria. They occur as a result of your skin stretching, which happens naturally with growth and bodily change. Stretch marks can have different appearances: they may be pale, pink, red, or purple in color. Often, they fade over time, but they might not completely disappear naturally. Stretch marks are not dangerous and do not pose any risk to your health.

These can help to keep your skin more elastic.
