Help! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/confused.gif
I have stretch marks on my stomach despite having a toned abs, and I would like to know if anyone has successfully been able to hide theirs. I ve tried using Neutrogena sunless tanner a few shades darker but it didnt work. They dont look gross or nothing, just light silvery lines...any hope of getting complete coverage with a product that doesnt rub off on my clothing???

Hi ZiZi....I don't know why you have'em but I have mine from a baby 7 yrs. ago...I asked my derm. about shrinking or covering them and she said that its dead skin pigment and you can't do anything about it but maybe something to cover it up a little like maybe make-up....but maybe someone else has been able to do something and could give us both advice...

thanks for replying mother, yeah, I got my stretchies from having my daughter 3 years ago. I think theres a few things out on the market that may cover it so Im searching the net.

I've heard some good things about Striae cream (you can do an internet search). But I believe the best results from Striae come from those who have horrible stretch marks...the ones that are still very red/purple and very obvious.

Don't know if the cream would make much of a difference on yours, since you said they are already very light. Maybe worth a try.

You can get rid of them completely if u want to pay for surgery. Otherwise I tan in a bed and I had my son 9 months ago and im wearing a bikini. I use Emerald Bay cocoa butter with tanning balm and bronzers. My skin is soft and silky and has a soft smooth apperance. Its not expensive so thats a plus and you will look great in your swim wear with a nice tan and almost nonexistent faded S-marks. It works for me. Good luck to you.

Hi everyone,

I had a friend who got tattoos to hide her stretch marks. Trust me...I am not suggesting it. Just merely making a comment.

I have been curious about stretch marks too. I have them on my boobs. I lost some weight and lost it on top and now have stretch marks. Isnt there a cream you can use to help them fade?
