How to Get Rid of Post-Pregnancy Stretch Marks

What is a stretch mark? Stretch marks are a type of permanent scar that develops when the skin undergoes extreme stretching during times of rapid weight gain, pregnancy, or growth.  Stretch marks often appear as long, narrow streaks or lines that develop on the surface of the skin, particularly on the arms, tummy, thighs, hips, breasts, and lower back.  When stretch marks first appear, they tend to take on a reddish or purplish hue, depending on your skin color.

At some point in our lives, it might have crossed our minds if our regular face moisturiser can double up as an eye cream. Don't worry - you are not alone.  Thousands of us struggle to find the importance of using a separate product for the eye area. We decide to speak to a renowned aesthetic doctor in Singapore, Dr. Siew Tuck Wah, to tell us how to take care of our eyes and if eye creams are a necessity.  Why do I need an eye cream?
