:-( stretch marks

Up until now, i havent really been bothered about the fact that i have stretch marks on my stomache and sides, until today.

I was looking at myself in the mirror (like all women do) with a new outfit on and i thought i looked pretty nice. Then i got undressed to put my work clothes on and looked at my stretch marks. Pretty depressed over the fact that they are there, my boyfriend says hes not bothered by them, but i know for a fact they are unattractive.

Is there any way of getting rid of them? Ive lost weight and used bio oil to lessen them but it doesnt seem to work anymore. What tips or advice has anybody got that could help me get rid of them and make me feel better about myself???

Please help

Awe, wish I could help. I have stretch marks too, but I'm so light-skinned you can't even tell. ><

Some people find that sunless tanning treatments (both over-the-counter lotions and sprays and in-salon types of treatments) can help cover up stretch marks. This doesn't work for regular tanning or tanning beds, though, because stretch marks themselves are less likely to tan. And as everyone knows, the sun and tanning beds do more harm than good when it comes to the long-term health of your skin. You also can buy body makeup matched to the tone of your skin that can make stretch marks all but invisible. Although some manufacturers make these cover-up products water-resistant, makeup may not be the best solution if you'll be spending a lot of time in the water.

Well, are they very dark purple in color or something like that?  With time, the color fades, and it becomes almost an unnoticeable silver for it.

There are some products that claim to help them look less visible and the like...

All in all, I have them too, except on my hips, breasts, arms, knees, legs... lmao.  But if they are very clear now, they usually start fading away to something that's hard to notice unless you look closely...

^ This.
Nothing can actually take them away, but cocoa butter will fade them some.
