Stretch marks are the most dreaded skin condition that many women experience especially because it never ceases to exist during pregnancy and after child birth. It is not really a serious condition that is caused by allergies, bacteria, or fungi, but it is something that happens because of the stretching of the skin. Although this is an unavoidable phenomena as believed by many researchers have found that it can be preventable, treatable, and removable. Actually the treatment for stretch marks are similar to the prevention methods, the only difference is you apply the latter before you even get the chance to acquire the said marks.

A common treatment advertised today is the use of cocoa lotion. Like other stretch mark creams it is also applied on the skin, the difference lies on their component because cocoa lotions are made up of pure cocoa ingredients. Cocoa has been proven to be very effective in repairing the skin damages caused by overstretching and it has also been found that it can prevent stretch marks when used prior to the incident that caused the marks to appear because it increases the elasticity as well as the hydration status of the skin.
