Let’s face it, unless you are one of those celebrity moms gracing the covers of all the trendiest magazines, you can’t just airbrush out those unsightly stretch marks. There are plenty of creams and surgical procedures that can effectively treat stretch marks, but while you are waiting for those treatments to work magic, here are a few helpful tips for hiding embarrassing marks.
In the winter, it’s fairly easy to cover up stretch marks. But once that warm weather hits, many women scramble for a quick solution to their stretch mark woes. The most obvious way to hide stretch marks is to wear clothing that covers up problem areas. These days, you can even find bathing suits specifically designed to hide those areas of the skin most often affected by stretch marks.
If you’re really more of a tank top and bikini person, there are other options besides changing your entire wardrobe. When you are researching ways to hide stretch marks, you will probably run across numerous sources that declare self tanners are the way to go. In some cases, a good self tanner will blend the stretch mark into your skin tone, thereby hiding the problem. However, there are a few things you should keep in mind when turning to self tanners as your “miracle” cure for stretch marks. Most importantly, look around at the streaked skin or orange hands of anyone who uses self tanning products. Choosing the wrong self tanner can be devastating to your appearance for up to a week, so be very careful. Also, tanning, whether real or fake, often has the opposite effect to hiding stretch marks and scars. Many people find that any form of tanning actually highlights the skin damage either because the scarred skin will not tan naturally or because the self tanning product is not able to stain the scar tissue to the same hue as the healthy skin around it. In any case, choose carefully if you do go this route.
The third method of hiding stretch marks is applying body makeup. There are a number of sheer, water-proof foundations formulated for use on the body. While this may seem like a strange concept to some people, it is an effective way of hiding stretch marks and other blemishes on the skin. As with any other makeup, it is important to match the foundation to your natural skin tone and blend thoroughly. Choosing the wrong tone of makeup can make scars and stretch marks stand out even more.
No matter how you choose to hide stretch marks, you should also begin a skincare regimen that will treat the problem and make your skin look and feel healthier. Eat healthy, drink plenty of water, exercise, and use a specially formulated stretch mark cream to moisturize and defend the skin while encouraging skin cell renewal and regeneration.
