GLY DERM: YOUR SUPERIOR SOLUTION TO TREATING STRETCH MARKS

There are many ways to mark the beginning of motherhood. Stretch marks, however, shouldn’t have to be one of them.

 

Stretch marks are known to appear mainly during pregnancy, but they may also occur during sudden weight gain or loss, or even during adolescence due to rapid growth and hormonal changes associated with puberty. Genetics also play a key role in a person’s susceptibility to getting stretch marks.



 

A matrix of collagen and elastin supports the dermis (the deeper layer of the skin) and epidermis (the skin’s outer layer), but gaps may form when the skin is stretched excessively, and it is these gaps of broken tissue that cause us to have those discolored streaks or striae that appear on the surface of our skin in pinkish, reddish-blue, or translucent white hues.

 

They may not be life-threatening, but they certainly can kill a person’s self-confidence. Especially in the case of new moms who look forward to getting their beach-ready figures back.

Fortunately, there are effective ways to treat stretch marks. Gly Derm Stretch Mark Cream from France – home of the best beauty products in the world is now available in the Philippines and being marketed by A. Menarini, an Italian pharmaceutical company. Gly Derm is specially formulated to help rebuild collagen and regain elasticity to reduce the size and lessen the appearance of stretch marks. What sets it apart is its Tri-Derm Actives.  Gly Derm offers a superior, clinically-proven solution that will neither require laser procedures, nor break the bank.

 

Gly Derm Stretch Mark Cream’s non-greasy formula is also easy to use. Simply massage it into the affected areas of your skin twice a day. Initial results may be seen in as early as five weeks of continued use. Gly Derm Stretch Mark Cream’s Tri-Derm Actives penetrate the gaps of broken tissue and improves the appearance of stretch marks, so that you can soon walk around with confidence just like you did before.  This isn’t merely based on clinical proof but also it is also trusted by everyday women who have tried it!

 

One of them is actress/model/producer G Töngi. The mother of Sakura and Kenobi says, “I’ve started using Gly Derm and I’m looking forward to my skin’s continuous improvement”. 

 

“I’ve gone through three pregnancies, and I have worried about stretch marks,” actress and model Cheska Garcia-Kramer admits. Her children with husband Doug Kramer are Kendra (4 years old), Scarlett (1 year, 11 months), and Gavin (8 months) and she has been enjoying life as a wife and mom. “Gly Derm helped me get rid of those worries so I could focus on what matters most—being the best mom to my kids!”

 

Gly Derm Stretch Mark Cream is now available in leading drug stores nationwide. For details, visit glydermasia.com.

Bachelor of Fashion Design and Technology at iACADEMY

Winning wasn't part of the plan when I joined Fashion and Design Talk and Workshop at iACADEMY held last week.  It was pure for fun. Little did I know I had it in me, being creative and all. Because of this event, it made me think about going into Bachelor of Fashion Design and Technology at iACADEMY.

 

The experience at iACADEMY is a lot different from my previous school. There, it felt like I was in a box. Going to school everyday is kinda boring. At iACADEMY, it feels like I was just playing while learning.

Sixteen years since it started BPO operations in the country, SYKES Asia, Incorporated. formally opened its new facilities at the heart of Makati.
