Strech Marks and Tanning

Was wondering what you put on strech marks so they tan like the surrounding skin. Now that I can lay on a beach and not worry about somebody trying to drag me back in the water while feeding me frozen makeral , wanted to know if there is something specific to use. Thanks, Julio

Julio, I know Netrugena carries a cream for stretch marks, you can get it at any drugstore, not sure of the name. I wish you luck. Keep up the good work kiddo. Hope to see you at the Summer Picnic on July 16th Hugs KimC

hi Julio - I know from personal experience being a mother of two,and morbidly obeste with absolutely no-stretch marks that Palmers Cocoa Butter and Shea Cocoa Butter work for me. I faithfully use it everyday more than once. I also carry the lil stick around with me and apply it to my hips and stomach frequently. Hopefully this will help ! Best Wishes - Victoria

Julio- my friend, once you got 'em, ain't nothing gonna take 'em away. But, you know that. That I'm aware of, there is nothing that will change how they tan. the skin is damaged, and it reacts differently. However, my advice would be to use a good sunscreen (Yes! I said sunscreen!) and try to tan slowly and gradually. This should produce a more even result. You could also try a self tanner...just for fun to see if that helps. It's never really helped me much though, I'm very pale. Keeping the stretch marked areas well moisturized will also help with their appearance overall- the the shea or coco butter is a great idea. Have fun at the beach! Lisa C

Julio, Lisa is right, once you got, oh well, HOWEVER I use the neutrogena self tanner, and if you do put it on, just be sure to rub it in in ALL directions, it will take to the stretch marks and they are not so hideous! You may need a couple applications ( especially on the underside of the arms, but it does work!) Blessings~ Robin R

Thank You ladies, I knew you would have the answer's to this question. Will give them a try. Take care all! Julio
