Knowing that early stages to heal these scars and stretch marks is the key. Once they have gone silvery and back to normal skin colour the healing is set and you really are very limited to what you can do.

Hopefully, now we can wave a big goodbye to Winter weather. Welcome home to Spring days and happy holidays! But, this can come at a price.

It is said that alcohol is a genetic illness. Which is another reason for me to research this subject in depth. I usually write about beauty related topics.
