Covering Up: How to Disguise Stretch Marks

by Martha Fitzharris

Many people are obsessed with finding a way of 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. In fact, they're quick to realize that most stretch mark products aren't what they claim to be.

After having tried one cream after another, they suddenly come to the realization 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 your stretch marks is a viable option, then you may begin by using a special body makeup. This type of product isn't like the type most women use to cover their face, instead, it is much thicker and more wear-proof than traditional foundation. This is ideal when you have stretch marks in areas that are hard to cover with clothing.

Clothing, is by far, your best friend when it comes time to cover up your stretch marks. If you have stretch marks on your back or your 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.

Leggings are another option if you want to hide stretch marks along the back of your knees. Wear them under a cute miniskirt and a nice pair of sandals and your summer look is complete. This outfit can also help protect your skin from sun damage.

Light weight boleros can keep the stretch marks on your arms covered up while keeping you cool. You can even use netted garments that are made from cotton to provide your body with extra coverage. If you are wearing netted garments, you need to make sure that you are using sunscreen to protect the exposed areas of skin from solar radiation.

Spray on tan or self tanning lotions are another alternative for covering up stretch marks. Real tanning will only darken the skin around the stretch marks and make them stand out. 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 still trying to reduce the appearance of your stretch marks and have ruled out surgery or have gotten tired of covering up, then you might consider using a wonderful stretch mark product, 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. It has high levels of Vitamin A, which are important for skin health. This vitamin is responsible for helping the body repair damaged skin while also promoting the production of new, healthy skin cells.

You can try your hardest to prevent stretch marks, but sometimes even your best isn't good enough. As a matter of fact, you can treat your stretch mark problem with a surgical procedure or by trying to cover up the scars, however, a more natural solution would be to try using an effective 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.
