Covering Up: How to Disguise Stretch Marks

Author: Martha Fitzharris
01.02.2010

Many people are obsessed about eliminating stretch marks. They’ll submit their skin to countless numbers of stretch marks creams, lotions, and massage therapies only to be disappointed with the results. They soon find out that most stretch mark products are not what they claim to be.

They’ll go through as many creams as they can get their hands on just to realize that the only surefire stretch mark removal procedure is surgery. As a matter of fact, the only way to rid your life of stretch marks is by removing the affected area via surgery. If neither of these options is appealing, you can choose to simply cover up your stretch marks.

The Big Cover Up

If you decide that covering up your stretch marks is better than removing them, then you should begin with special body makeup. This type of makeup is much thicker and more long-lasting than traditional foundation. This is a great way of allowing yourself to wear more revealing clothing, especially during summer.

Clothing is probably one of the most common ways of covering up unsightly stretch marks. If you’re trying you cover up stretch marks that appear on your back or abdomen you can use a longer camisole tucked into your pants. For stretch marks that cover your thighs you can use pants or wear a sarong.

Another viable option for hiding stretch marks along the back of your knees are leggings. Wear them under a cute miniskirt and a nice pair of sandals and your summer look is complete. This ensemble can also protect your skin from sun damage.

Stretch marks on your arms cover up nicely with light weight boleros. You can even use netted garments that are made from cotton to provide your body with extra coverage. If you decide to wear netted garments, make sure that you use sunscreen to protect the exposed skin from solar radiation.

Spray on tan or self tanning lotions are another alternative for covering up stretch marks. If you’re not content with the way fake tans may you look you should understand that exposing your skin to a real tan will only darken the skin around the stretch marks and make them stand out even more. However, self tanners will help cover the skin evenly and keep you from excess solar exposure.

Stretch Mark Products you can Count On

If you’re tired of your stretch marks, unwilling to undergo surgery, and wanting to show some skin during summer, then there are still some products you can use, such as rose hip oil. This wonderful product has been used for centuries to help treat a variety of skin problems.

It is thought that rose hip oil has a vitamin rich composition that is ideal for treating stretch marks. Rose hip oil has high levels of Vitamin A, which are important for skin health. This vitamin is responsible for helping repair damaged skin and helping promote the production of new, healthy cells.

It’s not always easy to prevent stretch marks, but there are ways of dealing with the situation. In fact, you can operate or cover them up, but if you want a more gentle solution you should try using an effective natural stretch marks treatment cream such as BIOBODYCREAM. This natural product contains the perfect blend of natural ingredients which can help remove stretch marks safely and effectively.
