So I have some stretch marks on my arms from losing weight a while ago and I just don't know how to fade them or cover them up effectively! I want to look beautiful on my wedding day and i dont want to wear a cover up ( wedding is in July) do any of you ladies have any ideas? Will a spray tan work?...

I really could use some good confidence boosting advice :"(

    For all my blemished im going to use this http://www.dermablend.com/

    It wil cover up anything!! You can go to a Macy's and do a trial test on your skin to see which shade will work best for you!! Also the tanning is a great soluition as well!! Good luck

    I have stretch marks everywhere from losing weight. I swear if the wind blows too hard, I get a stretch mark. It's frustrating. I find tanning helps to diminish their appearance. I have looked into Mederma, but read that it won't help stretch marks that are already faded. I might have to look into Bio Oil. I have also read that dry-brushing along with vitamin E capsules help. I have yet to try it.

    Also keep in mind it has to be real cocoa butter or even the shea butter, you can't use the products in Walmart or Target.

    I say go to the dermatologist and let them write out a prescription that is going to work quickly and have more % then over the counter items.

    If you want to cover them, I recommend Dermablend makeup which can be found at Ulta. I have used it in the past to cover spider veins and stretch marks for special occassions. Alot of people that have bad scarring also use it.

    My old stretch marks had gotten worse over the years, as I gained and lost weight. Dermalmd stretch mark serum has made a very noticeable difference in their appearance. My boyfriend also loves how soft my skin is. Worth every penny.

    Hello! I also had lots of stretch marks, especially on my legs. The treatment that helped me a lot was dermelastic serum.

    I started using DermalMD Stretch Mark Serum At the top of my second trimester and all Through My third I just ordered another one for postpartum I was noticing some faint stretch marks coming in but now I don’t have any works as expected. A little pricey For the size of the tube considering you have to use it twice a day after each shower.
