How to Hide Stretch Marks Naturally and Effectively

Cat Hiding Under BlanketsReducing stretch marks can be a slow process, so in the meantime many want to hide them as much as possible.

So, how to hide stretch marks?

Some suggest using a tanning lotion or concealer, but your best bet is just to dress wisely.

Many women carry their stretch marks proudly as souvenirs from having carried a child.

But a lot of people feel embarrassed of their stretch marks, even though most of us have them somewhere on our body.

It is primarily during the summer, when you want to walk around in swim wear, or when you go to bed that they’ll really show.

The parts of the body that are most expected to get stretch marks are your thighs, abdomen, buttocks, breasts and hips. This is because these places are more often used as fat storage by the body, so they tend to change more in size than other parts.

A common suggestion for anyone learning how to hide stretch marks is to use a self tanning lotion that evens out the skin color. In that case try to find a natural one, and beware of getting all orange ;)

Some even suggest using bronzing powder, although if you use too much of that it can look unnatural. Getting a real tan won’t be much of a help, since the stretch marks will stay the same light color and thus may even show even more.

Hiding stretch marks with make up is also an option. You’ll want to find a good concealer that matches your skin tone, and that is water proof in case you go swimming. If your stretch marks are light it will be easier to cover them up with make up, but if they’re still in that initial purple/red stage it may be harder.

The most effective thing is to cover them with clothes. Choose clothing and swimwear wisely. Find yourself a cute one piece tankini, a pair of cool looking shorts, or a beautiful sarong for the beach.

How do you hide stretch marks on a pregnant belly? If it is a special occasion then decorating your skin with a henna tattoo is a cool option. You’ll need to have a professional do it, but you’ll get a beautiful adornment that will hide pregnant belly stretch marks for many weeks.

That is all the advice I have for how to hide stretch marks. I hope you found something that works for you. Make sure you avoid future problems by knowing how to prevent stretch marks.

Keep your skin hydrated, nourished, deeply moisturized, and above all, stay healthy!
