Nia Long - Even if you don’t have a weight issue during your pregnancy, those dreaded stretch marks may get the best of you. Nia Long reveals that her key to warding off the pesky scars is to stay hydrated. “Let me say something about stretch marks. I prayed. I did rain dances. I said ‘Lord, I know I am being vain, but please don’t let me get stretch marks,” she jokes. “One of the things that really helps with skin is high doses of Vitamin C, amino acids and fatty fish oils (Omega 3). They hydrate you from the inside.”(Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)
