    Im not quite too sure, but I believe tanning helps.

    Also, you might wanna post this in another forum, for more/better answers.

    The one that deals with skin issuses.

    Tanning does help I find. Nothing else I found helps hide them. I have them on my legs from growing so much in my teens.

    i would say streching but when you lift hard and heavy as your muscles grow your skin streches vitamin e before and after you work out to keep the skin plyable

    theres nothing that can get rid of them BUT you can prevent them by using cream a lot when on a cycle. cocoa butter is the best. try it out

    I have stretch marks on my stomach from when I used to be fat. Quite a few. They are pretty hideous. When I first got them I went to the dermatologist and she prescribed Renova (derived from Retina). It drastically reduced the redness and turned the stretch marks to my natural skin color. The down side is that when I tan, the stretch marks don't, or at least not as much, so they show up as very white against my tan body. Definitely not attractive. I've done some perfunctory research on laser surgery, but the results seem to be mixed. Bottom line, you can try a retin-a based cream, but it may not work for you, escpecially if you plan to tan.

    Skin Essentials: Cocoa Butter for Stretch Marks(vitamin e, collagen, and elastin) 6 Fl oz squeeze bottle that lasts for a damn long time and did the job preventing stretchos during my cycles and reducing what i already had. Tanning will make you darker and camo the stretch marks into your skin of course, but only that cream and time will fade them. Dont be ashamed of them, wear them as a mark of honor..like soldiers with battle scars/wounds
