Stretch marks: most of us have them but what exactly are they, and can anything be done about them?
Fear not, we asked some brilliant experts and trawled the beauty aisles to find you the best products worth spending your hard-earned cash on. “Stretch marks (striae gravidarum) occur in 50 - 90 per cent of pregnant women and can look different on everyone. They can be red, pink, brown, black, silver or even purple and more often than not they start out darker and fade over time,” Helen O’Leary, Physio and Director of Complete Pilates told us.
